HTC What i wish for is for AMD to somehow manage to have the infinity fabric not directly tied to the RAM speed but be in a divider instead: this could bring extra speed to the IF, even with slower RAM. I'm thinking along the lines of an extra 1 / 8th or 1 / 6th speed VS RAM speed, via a divider of some sort. This would make IF run with 2400 MHz ram @ 2700-2800 MHz and with 3200 MHz RAM @ 3600-3733 MHz which, due to how RyZen currently works, would be quite a nice boost to performance, even if not changing anything else, VS current Zen +.

Apparently, this 13% extra IPC comes from tests in, which is why no game data is available as of yet: considering the jump in core count, the fact that it appears there are actual clock bumps @ all is quite remarkable. I was actually expecting the clock speeds on this platform to lower as the core count goes up, "as per norm".Personally, i seriously doubt the IPC gains will be that high but maybe, just maybe i'm wrong: wouldn't mind that @ all :DI said this in another thread:Still think this would be AMD's best bet. It would however force power usage up with the IF alone, possibly forcing to lower clocks a bit in order for it not to overshoot TDP but i think the newer 7nm process would more than compensate for that, though it could end up resulting in a lower overclock bump ceiling because of it. Still, the thought of being able to use much less expensive RAM while still having the "same IF speed / latency" is @ the very least drooling: think 2666 RAM with tight timings running @ either 2999 or 3110 MHz (via the divider: an extra 1 / 8 th and 1 / 6 th speed respectively). Currently, you need expensive RAM to take advantage of lower latency and this change would remove that, making the platform as a whole more affordable.
