3900X + PBO fmax enhancer (ASUS' official EDC bug for Zen2), stock PPT TDC EDC (142w 95A 140A), 1900MHz fclk / 1900MHz uclk / 3800MHz mclk so the I/O die eats some more into the total power budget than usual.
Really nice to see efficiency going up with newer generations. Zen4 in particular is...
That score for only 16 cores on ambient temperatures is just absurd lmao.
Amazing stuff! Keep it coming, I can't stop drooling over what I'm seeing so far
Even if there is no low power/non X part available, you can make one yourself that's a good enough replacement even if the silicon hasn't been binned with low power first in mind.
Lower PPT/TDC/EDC to the 65w bracket values (88W/60A/90A)... or enable eco mode. Same thing. Undervolt while you're...
Sisoft did the same with their Zen3 results before NDA was up.
Their synthetic suite predicted quite well how things did in real life not much later. You can find all these posts in the Zen3 speculation thread. If people light up at the results (me included) it's because there's precedent that...
I know. Amazing stuff!
I think there won't be any shortage of x86 innovation for the foreseeable future with this AMD.
I fear TSMC hitting a roadblock on future nodes like Intel did with 10nm stalling progress more than anything.
Anyway. I need leaks now. Come on reviewers, throw us a bone!
Lovely results, as expected. Even considering the increased power usage to make it happen, it's impressive.
Golden Cove seems so wasteful in comparison, much like Ice lake / Tiger Lake vs Zen3. Much larger structures overall but lackluster results.
There's this interview with Mike Clark that...
That statement was made in context of having to deal with AM4's original restrictions. It started out with single chips (Bristol Ridge, Summit Ridge, Pinnacle Ridge) then transitioned to chiplets.
AM5 has been designed from the ground up with chiplets in mind. We've already seen Genoa delidded...
Now that you mentioned it, the results in my other post were done with sz's Ryzen balanced v4 power plan. Zen2 is very sensitive to power plans, that one nets snappy performance with lower temperatures on day to day usage. Some workloads do suffer a performance hit.
This is how it behaves with...
Highly tuned 3900X (PBO Fmax enhancer) + memory (4x16GB DDR4-3800 16-19-19-38-57 1T+GDM, as tight secondaries and tertiaries as Rev. E will do)
Zen3 is quite the improvement here.
ASUS AGESA v2 1.2.0.6b beta BIOSes for their X370 boards so far, boot Vermeer and it works without problems. Cezanne is still blocked.
Prime X370 Pro, Strix X370-F, X370-I on BIOS 6026
ROG C6E on BIOS 8503 (they released the Extreme BIOS before the Hero, that's interesting)
Things are getting...
That's one of the original experimental B350/X370 BIOSes (AGESA v2 1.1.0.0) Asrock put out back in December 2020, that resulted in them getting a warning from AMD.
We could've officially had Zen3 on 300 series boards back then, but AMD had to go ahead and lock things out in AGESA v2 1.1.8.0...
Well, this thread blew up. Good to see Tom's looking into it:
AMD: We're Exploring Supporting Ryzen 5000 on 300-Series Motherboards
Thing is, there is nothing to explore, AMD.
I see the infamous Gigabyte A320M-S2H V2 (B350 in disguise with Vermeer support because of it being "A320") got some...
Lisa says, "All those Zen4 cores are running at 5GHz" during a halo infinite demo.
Good to know there is no frequency regression. (Gaming isn't an intensive workload, of course, but it's good to hear)
ASUS A320 boards boot Vermeer with the new BIOSes. They're even listed in the CPU compatibility list.
Asrock's A320 boards do, too. Link to one
Biostar started distributing A320 BIOSes based on the same AGESA v2 1.2.0.3c release. Vermeer support, too.
Vermeer on A320 is not a gigabyte only...
