Amd zen would have special variants for overclocking

The AMD Zen processors are ready to land in stores early next year and promise to be a huge leap in terms of performance, as we could see one of the many leaked benchmarks, beating the i7-6950X in the multi-threaded scenario..

AMD is inspired by Intel and its 'K' processors

According to a rumor that scatters the people of bitsandchips , AMD would have ready some specially dedicated models for the OC, very similar to the 'K' series of Intel that has the multiplier unlocked to make authentic virgenias in the field of overclocking.

Although all AMD processors have the multiplier unlocked, these new AMD Zen models will allow you to get extra performance in this section, it is not exactly detailed but we believe that higher speeds could be achieved than with normal processors without the need to lock the multiplier.

The AMD Zen processors that are going to arrive

These variants of the AMD Zen based on the Summit Ridge architecture, would cost somewhat more expensive than normal processors and will require AM4 boards that know how to take full advantage of overclocking, surely those that have the AMD X370 chipset.

The new Summit Ridge-based AMD Zen processors will arrive in the first quarter of 2017 with 8 physical cores and 16 threads running at 14nm. The TDP will vary according to the model between 65 and 95 W, the variant dedicated to overclocking is very likely to exceed this TDP.
