x265 Benchmark
In the x265 encoding benchmark the extra clock speed of the overclocked Ryzen 5 2600 very nearly overcomes the core deficit to the stock Ryzen 7 2700, whilst the overclock on our Ryzen 7 2700 not only scores higher than the Ryzen 7 2700X but gets darn close to a stock Threadripper.

Basically, they're not really meant to just be cheaper versions of their X counterparts- The value of them doesn't come from the minimal loss of performance VS price drop, but from the minimal loss of performance VS TDP/power drop.Quote
I'm really looking forward to Zen 2 on 7nm! That'll be the time I put my 6700k to rest

I'm really pleased to see the performance of these CPU's and the X versions. I'm really tempted to buy a new setup (need a new graphics card anyways) but the idea of threadripper is still in the back of my mind I do like to work with my VM's but I'm guessing they should be able to give me the performance I'm in need of.
Who knows we might end up seeing Intel forced to lower their prices a bit

7C is a heck of a difference, that's amazing. Quick question though: So there is no way to get XFR to work on this at stock, but is there a way to swap profiles while in windows?
Coming from a 2600k, I have to swap profiles in the bios to do this, so I was just wondering if Ryzen master had that solution.
Thanks!
@Giggyolly: What about a high end air cooler, such as a Nh-d15? Would it still be worth OCing with such an air cooler? Thanks!Quote
Well, it seems pretty clear AMD are not sending out cherry picked samples.Quote
