Can we expect much closer numbers or even opposite results when the opposing chips are OC'd to 4.6-5.0?

I mean i could guess. But i have no clue. And anyway. See above.

Ah. Understood. I apologize.

so far the numbers seem interesting for Multitasker/heavy system utilization workloads.

I have some hypothesis where the single core performance will land but as better multicore utilization in software is slowly starting to happen I am hopeful now I just have to wait to see specific benchmarks.

Is the chipset information from CES fully official? As badass as the processors are, it seems like the connectivity options are the make or break point for many people.

How do explain the lack of pci-e 3 16x2 on the new amd motherboards when there is some evidence that it does matter gpu wise ? The lack of it on enthusiast class motherboards where it might be used the most.

im not entirely sure what that is supposed to mean but gen 3 PCIE speed really does not matter much for GPUs as long as its faster than x4

I will see if i can find the article. I have pci-e gen 3 16x2 in my old amd. So why the regression ?

No, you don't.

No you don't. It's Gen 2. Gen 2 X16 is the same bandwidth as Gen 3 X8 btw.

Z170 has Gen 3 X8 X8...

As for why less lanes it is to make the CPU and motherboard cheaper.

Aaaaand here is the article.

unless it is the ultra-rare Sabertooth R2 that had aPLX chip for it i agree

Where? Where are you finding this evidence? All the research I have done shows that it doesn't matter a damn bit unless you're doing multi-gpu setups.

Nope, gen 2.

Nope, Gen 3. These were extremely rare
