I think they could have just put in "Overclocking Support" and left it at that where as not putting in anything is kind of miss leading. His tweet is kind of vague because of how it ranges from 5.2 to 5.5 depending on the scene/game. In my experience with the 5950x, when you play a game like Starcraft 2 and you monitor through hwinfo, you can see the frequencies of the cores reporting at 4.7-5ghz on all core but in reality, it's doing that because the game is very single threaded heavy and the other threads aren't being utilized. Then when you run something like Cinebench multicore, it drops down to 4.5ghz all core in my setup. So 5.2ghz all core I can see but I'll see it to believe it if it can run 5.5ghz all core in heavy workloads without manual OC. |
And well, Cinebench is not a game, is it? Not all the cores are used at the same time nor at 100% load in any game. That's why the frequencies will vary not only from game to game, but also in a game depending on what's going on in the screen. |
Yea but that's what I meant by "It could just be single core boost so I wouldn't put too much stock into it" cause for all we know, during that scene where it hit 5.5ghz, it wasn't under heavy load. But I probably could have worded it better.
