Well the truth is that the chip has been out since July 11th and stated it world provide a certain mark which it does not. if nobody caught this issue would AMD even fix it?
My point is that a chip was suppose to do a certain mark, and it does not hit that mark. Just think twice before buying any chip regardless if it's Intel or Not. If the article was about i5-9600k I would have posted it as well.
It's not a INTEL VS AMD comparison it's a AMD not telling us the truth. If you think your being lead correctly thing follow but to claim that a fix makes it not true is very invalid.
My intel i7 3770k only hit 4,38GHz witha 44x multiplier. No one ever buy intel you cant trust them. I have proof. I have screen caps.
This is a big nothing burger...seriously. this and a patch is coming out to fix it. So its even more a nothing burger. To suggest 25MHz to 50Mhz made any significant difference to a 4.2GHz system is laughable at best. We are talking <1%. And that certainly wont really affect long term stability.
The error likely crept in due to variations between how motherboards handle voltages and currents temps and how they reported them making for a simple rounding error im guessing. Steve at gamers nexus showed us how it varried by motherboard. Which means indeed yes the motherboard is likely a factor in these chips not achieving boost.
No matter how you slice this up, amd is giving you a lot more performance for the same dollar. That fact has not changed at all.
Im honestly sick of hearing about it. Not because im in denial. Amd had plenty of teething issues with the new architecture. But its total performance difference is negligible. I consider am4 socket forward and backward compatibility more an issue. But again this is better than what Intel offers you by a long shot.
