Is Qualcomm really making it cheap to build Snapdragon X Elite? Or are they mugging OEMs by forcing them to integrate stuff like Qualcomm-approved VRMs and other weirdness?
That's unfortunate.
It shouldn't be that bad, especially since we're talking about out-of-the-box behavior of 13900k/s and 14900k/s CPUs on Z790 motherboards. So of course they'd be using default configurations, or better yet, default with only two changes: 1.1 mOhms AC/DC LL (as a precaution...
Correct. Unlike Curve Optimizer, constraining PPT with a lower value never causes instability. Pretty sure EDC/TDC constraints also won't cause instability.
On the topic of AC/DC LL on Z790:
If the mobo OEMs are pushing up their LLC settings to improve stability, couldn't end users maybe help stabilize things by increasing the cycle speed of the VRMs? I know I have that option on my AM4 board. Most high-end boards should have it. Basically you...
