I recall seeing this being disputed, but I wouldn't know where to find the victor with the information available on the web.The memory controller is said to be (IIRC by The Stilt) very similar to the one in previous generation's Carrizo/Bristol Ridge. It is supposedly based on Synopsys off-the-shelf IP.
Managed to squeeze a little more out of the 1700 at 4.0GHz

Yeah it makes me want to go buy an AIO cooler and samsung b-die memory..... maybe one day soon.Holy.... That difference is like comparing 2 different cpu's completely.

I would say that even if it were launched now after the latest firmware and all the research put into tweaking latencies, many of the improvements would be outside the scope of the masses. Hunting down B-die Samsung modules, researching recommended manual BIOS tweaks, and then figuring out whether or not the actual hardware you have is able to reliably sustain custom settings is not something the mass market will ever do.Yeah it's great to see the real performance of the chip coming into daylight. Unfortunately the masses still have performance of day one printed in their minds. This is the drawback when your performance isn't top notch at day 1.
IMHO, it was still a better window for AMD to launch their chips before the new 7000 series HEDT i7/i9 chips. 499$ 3.6 GHz 8-core Ryzen flagship was compared against the 1089$ 3.2 GHz 8-core 6900K and the 1723$ 3.0 GHz 10-core 6950K and fared very well in those comparisons. People were truly impressed about the perf/$. Now Intel has 10-core 7000-series chip at 999$ and 8-core chip at 599$ (40% price drops). Intel HEDT clock rates have also been improved by 300/400 MHz. Delaying Ryzen by 6 months could have also meant delays for Threadripper and EPYC. Intel had to rush their HEDT to market very quickly to combat Threadripper, and has had various problems. Bad press for Intel is good press for AMD. If AMD can keep their Threadripper launch schedule, it will be benchmarked against Inte's top of the line 10-core and 12-core chips instead of their forthcoming 16-core and 18-core offerings. We all know that Threadripper will crush 10/12 core chips in highly threaded tasks. AMD can't afford delays as Intel is stepping up their game.Yeah it's great to see the real performance of the chip coming into daylight.

What DIMMs are they? What is your voltage at?Hynix memory actually seems all right. Running 3,8Ghz, a bit tightened timings supplied by The Stilt.
