CES news. AMD showed an engineering sample Ryzen 8 cores/16 threads at base 3.6GHz with 3.9GHz boost clock. 3.4GHz was said to be the lowest speed of that CPU line…
Going by PC magazine CanardPC (and other insiders rumors) who had access to engineering samples, OC over 4GHz on air is a possible. CanardPC even reached 5GHz on a single core on air (with a very good cooling fan though).
Micro Center newsletter also says that Ryzen does generally better than Kaby Lake in clock for clock tests.
In the meanwhile, Intel Kaby Lake just released and it's another refresh. By the way, Kaby is apparently Windows 10 only because it can't boot Windows 7 (read that on the web so take with a grain of salt but you might want to validate if you want to purchase and don't have Win 10).
