Last time i checked the jury was out as to wether memory training every boot was neccessary or not.
Some ppl said it is, some said YMMV.

Common sense iMO suggests memory training every boot shouldnt be neccessary, and i dont think the intel chipsets require it.
CHAT GPT seems to think that recent versions of Agesa fixed a bug in the caching of the info...


What is the latest wisdom please?
 
All you can do really is follow one of the guides to enable memory context restore (you may have to adjust a couple of other settings) and see what happens, there is no guarantees it will work even with latest updates. (If you have a 9000 series CPU it is generally a lot more successful, 7000 series is still quite hit and miss).

No, you let it train then on next reboot boot enable both Memory context restore (this is probably the caching you talk about) and power down mode.

Then booting will be fast, not quite intel fast but fast enough.

If overclocking, make sure you are stable before enabling memory context restore
 
AMD has come along way since the flakyness of the VIA chipsets and all their windows driver continuous updates, but this issue does make loose a bit of confidence.

Thats an Empahtic NO i will give it a go again.
 
i've enabled memory context restore for my 7800x3d, so there's no repeated memory training. no issues encountered.

How long ago did you last try and get it working? My advice is recent BIOS versions so if yours is old, best to update it first
