Giant firms like AMD ship hundreds of engineering pattern CPUs to their companions in China, so it is not stunning that a few of these models find yourself on flea markets weeks earlier than official launch dates. This time round, somebody in China has begun promoting engineering samples of AMD’s Ryzen 5 7600X six-core processor. Naturally, the product runs at decrease clocks than retail fashions, however if you wish to personal a Zen 4-based engineering pattern CPU earlier than its launch, now you can discover one.
The chip is now accessible from Goofish (h/t to @9550pro) for 9999 CNY ($1217 with out VAT). The CPU just isn’t engraved with its official mannequin quantity, nevertheless it carries the OPN code 100-000000593-20, equivalent to the Ryzen 7 7600X (at the least based on earlier leaks).
This engineering pattern’s greatest downside, aside from its absurdly excessive value, is its most frequency of 4.40 GHz, which is 300 MHz decrease than the rumored 4.7 GHz most turbo clock on the retail mannequin. Decrease clocks are widespread on early engineering samples, however potential bugs could possibly be a much bigger drawback with early engineering samples.
Contemplating that AMD’s Ryzen 7000-series ‘Raphael’ processors, in addition to supporting platforms, are simply weeks away, we doubt it makes lots of sense to get an engineering pattern of those CPUs this late and at this value until somebody actually needs to pay money for AMD’s next-generation product forward of the others, regardless of the associated fee. But, such individuals ought to concentrate on potential points with early samples that aren’t meant for business PCs anyway.
The vendor claims that the CPU is functioning, and he’ll advise its future house owners the place to get an AM5 motherboard earlier than their official launch this September. Nonetheless, contemplating that the vendor needs to get fairly some cash for this processor, we are able to solely surprise how a lot the motherboard will price.
