omfg you know the highest clocking engineering sample we saw for OG zen was 3.4Ghz single core boost... Seeing 4.5Ghz for the first sample which the first Zen sample we saw was 3.2Ghz... And like you think it's only going to be 100Mhz over that. You do realize we are technically getting a 4 node jump this time. As TSMC's 16nm clocks about 10% better than GloFo's 12nm. Then you have TSMC 12, 10 and 7nm. There is being conservative and then there is just being silly. you assume 3.4% clockspeed increase for TSMC 12, 10, and 7nm each and the 10% for TSMC 16nm and you are at a 21.5% clockpseed improvement. That is 4.7 typical all core boost as a 2700X gets around 3.9Ghz on all cores, and 5.2Ghz single core.

That is being conservative taking reasonably lower numbers to what you know then applying them, and honestly I still don't buy the 13% IPC improvement even though I know for a fact that IPC will improve and how they are going to do it through looking at the patents that dropped yesterdays and that were created back in late 2017. I think it's more likely to be 5% - 7%, .

lol that last part about AMD loot boxes😂🤣, but seriously though how cool would it be to have a slot machine that gives out random PC parts.

Why would you buy Intel? ABecause, their cores are not isolated from memory like half of the Threadripper's cores (which makes half its cores have ridiculous memory latency). That is why you would buy Intel - consistent memory latency across _all_ cores (not just half of them). Also, don't forget about overclockability of Intel vs AMD.
