![]() ![]() You may see slightly better performance using faster memory, but you'll be unlikely to get that working on 1st Gen Ryzen CPUs. I should also point out that I've used 3466MHz memory with all my systems now as this worked with older AMD CPUs as well as new ones, painting them in their best light, especially given memory prices are so low at the moment. I've rebuilt my test systems so they use cutting-edge components and also fully up to date versions of Windows 10 with the May 1903 update along with all the various security patches - both from motherboard manufacturers and Microsoft as these are known to have impacted on performance making any data obtained prior to these updates incomparable and unrepresentative. The Ryzen 7 3800X has its work cut out if it's to justify its higher price tag. However, as I mentioned in my Ryzen 7 3700X review, it costs significantly less in the U.S at least, yet was overclockable to 4.3GHz across all cores - just 100MHz short of what you'd see in a single core at stock speed. ![]() However, the latter has a TDP of 65W versus 105W for the Ryzen 7 3800X due to the fact it has lower boost frequencies, dropping 300MHz on the base frequency, which amounted to a 200MHz lower all-core boost of 4GHz compared to 4.2GHz for the Ryzen 7 3800X, while the latter has a 100MHz higher peak boost frequency too. The pricey Godlike board retails for around $800, but has the 14+4+1-phase power delivery subsystem to support aggressive overclocking.ĪMD Socket AM4 (X570)AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, Ryzen 7 3800X, Ryzen 7 3700X, Ryzen 7 2700XMSI MEG X570 Godlike2x 8GB G.Skill Flare DDR4-3200Ryzen 3000 - DDR4-3200, DDR4-3600Second-gen Ryzen - DDR4-2933, DDR4-3466 Intel LGA 1151 (Z390)Intel Core i9-9900K, i7-9700KMSI MEG Z390 Godlike2x 8GB G.Skill FlareX DDR4-3200 DDR4-2667 & DDR4-3466 AMD Socket AM4 (X470)AMD Ryzen 7 1800XMSI X470 Gaming M7 AC2x 8GB G.Skill FlareX DDR4-3200 DDR4-2933 AMD Socket SP3 (TR4)Threadripper 2920XMSI MEG X399 Creation4x 8GB G.Skill FlareX DDR4-3200 DDR4-2933 Intel LGA 2066Intel Core i9-7920XMSI X299 XPower Gaming AC4x 8GB G.Specifications-wise the Ryzen 7 3800X is identical to the Ryzen 7 3700X under the hood with 8 cores and 16 threads plus 36MB total cache. Due to the compatibility matrix for the AM4 socket, we stepped back to the MSI X470 Gaming M7 AC for the Ryzen 7 1800X. We're using MSI's MEG X570 Godlike as our test platform for the second- and third-gen AMD processors. We manually disable this feature for our stock CPU testing to best reflect Intel's specifications. Performance, power consumption, and heat are all affected, naturally. MSI turns this on by default in its BIOS, similar to most of its competition. This setting modifies the CPU's clock rate and voltage to deliver higher performance, which is basically factory-sanctioned overclocking. ![]() These features are largely referred to as MCE, but the functionality remains the same: These settings essentially apply an all-core overclock to the processor that is defined by the maximum Turbo Boost bin supported by the processor. Intel's motherboard partners have infused their boards with predefined all-core boost profiles that go by many names, such as Multi-Core Enhancement (MCE) with ASUS motherboards and Enhanced Turbo with our MSI motherboard. ![]()
