A ryzen 3000 can reach 4.8 ghz on all cores

A mysterious new Ryzen 3000 has appeared with an 'engineering sample' status, being able to reach 4.8 GHz on all cores and 5 GHz on a single core.

Ryzen 3000 engineering sample reaches 4.8 GHz on all cores

The details of the overclocking come directly from Chiphell where the 'One Month' forum member, the same one who gave a first look at the Ryzen 3000 APUs, is the one who gives the details about the expected frequencies of Ryzen 3000 in OC matters.

The new details were posted on Reddit, so let's take a look before going into details.

• 4.8GHz is achievable on all cores 4.4GHz works similarly to an i9-9900k @ 5Ghz on Cinebench 5.0GHz is feasible, but is challenging OC above 5GHz is not infeasible 5GHz on all cores is unstable with sample engineering 1.35V for all cores @ 4.5GHz

It seems that 5 GHz can be reached with Ryzen 3000 CPUs, although in the engineering sample it is seen that it is not so simple. It is also mentioned that although 5 GHz is possible, it is a real challenge to reach this higher frequency number and would require a lot of voltage. In this regard, we already saw a 16-core Ryzen 3000 CPU that leaked a few days ago and required up to 1, 572V just to reach 4.25 GHz.

The chip is also said to be faster than its competitor, the Core i9-9900K when overclocked at 4.4 GHz on Cinebench. Also, a 4.5 GHz OC can be achieved with just 1.35V, which is a very positive thing.

AMD has already confirmed its Next Horizon event for E3, which is in 10 days, so we can expect more details and probably a live overclocking demo there. We will keep you informed.
