2. Overclocking AMD processors, including without limitation, altering clock frequencies / multipliers or memory timing / voltage, to operate beyond their stock specifications will void any
applicable AMD product warranty, even when such overclocking is enabled via AMD hardware and/or software. This may also void warranties offered by the system manufacturer or retailer.
Users assume all risks and liabilities that may arise out of overclocking AMD processors, including, without limitation, failure of or damage to hardware, reduced system performance and/or
data loss, corruption or vulnerability. RZN-6

6. When running Hitman 2016 (Dx12), Recording to OBS (12K) and streaming (5K), and encoding a video to handbrake (bbb high to low to AppleTV), the following processors processed the
workloads in the following way: The 16-core/32-thread Ryzen Threadripper 1950X – applying 10 threads to Handbrake while reserving 22 threads for OBS and gaming – achieved an average
frame rate of 81.2 FPS in Hitman, dropped only 2.5% of frames to OBS, and completed the Handbrake encode in 68.3 seconds. The 10-core/20-thread Core i9-7900X – applying 8 threads to
Handbrake while reserving 12 threads for OBS and gaming – achieved an average frame rate of 37.3 FPS in Hitman, dropped only 0.5% of frames to OBS, and completed the Handbrake encode
in 68 seconds. Smooth video streaming quality target is industry-standard 60 FPS. The Core i9-7900X does not reach the smooth 60FPS streaming target: with a frame rate of 37.3 FPS and
delivering 99.5% of frames to the stream, the Core i9-7900X delivers 62% of the 60FPS target ((37.3x99.5%=37.1)/60=0.62, or 62%). The Threadripper 1950X does reach the smooth 60FPS
streaming target: with a frame rate of 81.2 FPS and delivering 97.5% of frames to the stream, the Core i9-7900X delivers over 100% of the 60FPS target ((81.2x97.5%=79.17)/60=1.31, over
131%). RZN-69
