really hope this is true data

Hardo-Zen !

I'm wondering what the boost clock speeds are like. The base clock speeds of the i7 6900K are 3.2GHz, giving this a higher base clock speed.

The boost of the i7 6900k is 3.7, so if AMD's CPU can maintain boosts of 3.7+ AMD are onto a real winner. I'm excited to see how this performs.

3.4Ghz is pretty decent. 20MB of L3 cache is very good too.

Intredasting. With that many cores it'll certainly be decent for video workloads, but I still have my doubts about gaming performance. It seems that their IPC is still way behind Intel. (Their slides promised 40% increaseover Bulldozer iirc)

How is level with Broadwell E way behind? What do Intel have that is "much better" than Broadwell E?

With similar IPC to Haswell the rumoured clocks do not hint of a great gaming performer. Having more than 4 cores doesn't matter the tiniest bit, really.

This is the top end part dude. Having 8 cores and 16 threads will limit the clock speeds due to die size heat etc. This is not the one you should be looking to for gaming, that will be the lower C/T which will no doubt be clocked far higher.

If IPC is the same as Broadwell E then that is what you need to concentrate on. Remember, it's instructions per clock. So if the clock speeds go up so do the instructions.

Intel are not going to go a whole lot further on Broadwell E tbh. In reviews the very rare K series Broadwell chips were actually better than Skylake in certain things.

With this auto-overclockability, it makes me wonder what they're doing for thermal paste under the IHS with this thing. I also wonder if (or how badly) this would over-volt the CPU. Unless there's some magic there, leaving the voltage on "auto" is not something that would sit well with me.

Aren't they rumoured to be using solder?

Not sure, I'm not following the rumor mill. Trying to avoid that trap.

I imagine that AMD had set in some limits, as the CPU cannot clock high enough to become unstable. This feature needs to have no user interaction.

I think this will just allow the CPU to sustain boost clock speeds for longer, giving users a reason to upgrade from AMD's stock cooler.

I wonder if it works like Radeon Chill?
