It was foggy where I live this morning aswell

I did not say they weren't profitable and growing. However, they are loosing sales and market share they would not be loosing if they would release this product. They are business, even if they are profitable, they are going to want to continue to grow even faster if possible and are not going to miss out on a chance to release a product that would benefit them.

That being said, it makes 0 sense for them to hold back from releasing the product, so the chances are its not ready at all.

net income for 2019 was $21.048B
net income for 2018 was $21.053B
This is either intel's limit of the amount of products they can make or a huge giant coincidence.My bet would be on the former because the latter would be just too weird.

gotta love how you pretty much ALWAYS tout how much money intel makes over amd, but guess what, a company that makes substantially LESS then intel, seems to have passed it in pretty much every metric. single core, multi core, and power usage. intel has nothing left to claim. i wonder what the intel fans will praise now ??
such an intel fanboy. you just cant stand how your beloved intel may not be the cpu leader in anything can you ? the only bastion intel had was games and single core performance, and now, they may have lost that too. face it, intel may not be the cpu leader in any thing any more.

Someone brought up market share so I brought up how much of the pie each company gets to keep.Every time I bring up money it's because someone else claims that intel is in deep trouble.

Glad it's working for you. Wish it worked for me. Maybe I got a bad die, I dunno. Did you tune yours? I spent some time trying a minor undervolt to see if reducing temps a bit more would give me some extra clocks and it seemed to reduce Cinebench scores so I stopped.

I have PBO on used the settings in this video

And run a Ryzen Dram calc fast profile for memory and that is about it.

Nononono... Please tell me you see this:
This is a thread about Ryzen 5950X being capable of 5.0ghz, and certain people derailing it by bringing up Intel's Core i. I suppose it was inevitable, but you know it's not the same.
If people want to compare Ryzen to Ryzen, sure.
Core i to Core i? Hey, debate away!

Core i V Ryzen? No, it's just not the same, and misleading/misguiding.
Core i 4.0ghz =! Ryzen 4.0ghz
Core i 5.0ghz =! Ryzen 5.0ghz

Differences in IPC
Cache size and frequency
The current Core i monolithic die and Ryzen's multi die
Intel's ring bus, mesh bus(found on X series) and Ryzen's CCX
and more!

Folks are oversimplifying it, because they - and I - don't understand even half the stuff above... and it doesn't work that way.

TL;DR: We need reviews and more benchmark samples - which will come in time.

I've always said that clock speeds can only be used to compare CPUs that are in the same family and same generation because of IPC differences.

Having said that, AMD's IPC is well above Intel's at this point and so it doesn't really matter. Comparing the two is just natural, kind of like comparing nVidia with ATi. It hasn't derailed anything, it was just a natural progression of how things are.

This was achieved using the stock cooler right?

Negative.
Only the 5600X comes with a cooler.

Sadly, this world revolves around money, and 'all that dough' does put Intel in a better position for a comeback - in R&D - if:
-they can get their heads out of their butts
-stop running around with their heads cut off
-get their crap together
... whichever you prefer to call it.
Some people stand by Intel not because of competition, but for how much they've invested in them.

I personally think they've expanded into too many markets. Products start becoming less innovative, among other things; jack of all trades, master of none, sort of thing.
Like, general practitioner to a specialist perhaps?
Quality of games released every year V ones that take a few or several?
It's part of why Nvidia is so good.

“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."

“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."

Give me an example of one, if you don't mind, please.

Gosh... 5ghz... Pentium 5 says hello. Speed isn't a valid metric anymore. Can we please use something other than silicon?

I don't see point in going max speed as then the next PC has no where to go.

I found using PBO didn't make any difference WRT clock speeds. At this point my assumption is I was unlucky in the silicon lottery.

With the newest Bios update PBO works even better for me now that I can enable the PBO Fmax feature. Don't need any of the tweaks in the video above.

i'm seeing 50mhz more on boost clocks.

My max clock before this bios was 4490 Mhz

 

[NightHawkRMX]

woah nearly 4.6ghz boost outta Zen2. I am thoroughly impressed.
