News AMD Ryzen 9 3950X Hits 4.3 GHz On All 16 Cores With AIO Cooler

One eTailer in a country that has ties to the manufacture (AMDs last standing FAB was in Dresden) is not a good way to judge market share.

Its why I don't even understand TH reporting on it. Mindfactory has always had higher AMD sales than the vast majority of eTailers. Even when all AMD had was the FX series which was in no way competitive against Intel.

You don't need to glean exact market share numbers to extrapolate useful information from the data. If you go to a major Chevy owner get together, you can't look at the cars in the lot and think, "Ford is getting their ass kicked, there are no Mustangs, everyone here owns a Camaro." What you can do is see there are 100 Camaros in the lot, why are none of them ZL1's? That is not a good sign that among so many Camaro enthusiasts which is a best case scenario for Chevy, there is such a lack of representation of a high performance Camaro model.

As you pointed out, Mindfactory.de is a best case scenario for AMD. Yet still, no one is buying threadripper CPU's from them. That's not a good omen. You want a 2nd source of data? Look at Amazon. The only Threadripper CPU in the top 25 is the the 2 year old 1st generation 1920x at #25. That CPU was $800 at release. It's currently selling for $200 on Amazon. What's even sadder? The Kaby Lake based 7700k, a 2 year old quad core CPU, which is selling for $145 MORE at $345, is ranked ahead of the $200 12 core 1920x. Old Intel CPU's never drop into the bargain bin like AMD CPU's do. Even at those clearance prices, there is no significant interest in Threadripper.

Once again trying to compare sales of mainstream desktop to HEDT segment to make a point about sales ... I thought what I previously wrote would have lent you the clue that that comparison is where your gross error lies.

And sorry about your non-native english, I wasn't aware you had struggles there. I'll be a bit more lenient next time.

I just tried 4.4 GHz all cores, and VCore stays constantly at 1.248V (set on auto) during AIDA64 CPU Stress Test (30 min). Max temperature is 64°C (with a Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4), otherwise in IDLE 35°C (room temp = 25°C) . Motherboard used is ASUS Strix X570-E Gaming with bios v2204. Ram are also overclocked from 3200MHz to 3600MHz (Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x16GB). I measured the data with CPUID HWMonitor, AIDA64 and HWiNFO64.
