Did you even read how they set up these test's? And how this gives us a idea not the whole picture? You wonder if overclocking wise you can take the x1600 higher? Also they are comparing a cpu that needs some software patches on the game side to use the new architecture let alone alleviate the issues with the SMT.
Also comparing CPU's clocked at 4.8ghz vs 3.9-4.0ghz is really disingenuous.
Also add in the fact it's been proven faster DDR4 ram 2933,3200,3500 results in 16%+ increase in performance in Ryzen.
These just like Linus Tech tips did are only giving you an idea, not the whole picture of performance.
I did
Steve stated that in the start of his review
Yes as well as if it can even hit 4ghz, guess we have to wait a few more weeks to find out
Great, redo the tests when or if those patches come
Not really, the intel CPUs and Ryzen family have a history of reaching those levels.
He used the same RAM speed for both test systems and does the same test show intel CPUs show no improvement with those faster speeds?
Repetitive question; see my second statement
