Ryzen 9 3900 overclocked to 5.5 GHz: Cinebench R15 record

While this is only gold in its specific model category, and currently the American overclocker's sole entry, the record is significant. It reveals that some overclockers already have the Ryzen 9 3900 in hand. This could mean we won't have to wait until November, and the new 65-watt CPU might hit shelves very soon.

Second place among all 12-core CPUs with a score of 4319 points.

Even fellow enthusiasts commenting on Splave's record expressed surprise that he had a sample of the Ryzen 9 3900 without the "X" suffix.

Wow, is this really the 65-watt chip, the 3900 without the X? Amazing.

Splave himself left a fairly typical comment, listing the sponsors of his achievement:

ASRock X570 Taichi :: Thermal Grizzly Kryo LHe :: 8ecc Beast :: Team Group A2

And because of this, we don't know the rest of the components used in the test bench.

Regardless, spotting the Ryzen 9 3900 "in the wild" is highly unexpected and welcome news, especially for enthusiasts aiming to build a small form factor PC around a 12-core processor.
