AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

[willhub]

Well it does not!!! 3200mhz mem max supported.........

Surely the 3700x will run overclocked eh???

I updated the Bios for my Asus Crosshair VI Hero X370 motherboard a week ago to prep it for testing one of the Ryzen 3000 CPU's, I noticed the tab for Precision Boost Overdrive had appeared

Is this why all the New (Some) of the X570 range has much better VRM monitoring capabilities this time around..

Seems ridiculous to have CPU's available on Sunday but I doubt anyone will get one delivered until Tuesday.

Unless ocuk will be working the Sunday the 7th to ship orders for Monday?

 

[Gee]

Looks like X570 feature only so that makes my purchase decision easier.

PBO is also on X370 (my C6H has it). Not just X570.

Just read a certain CPU binning biz is listing 3800, 3900 and 3950X CPUs, the first time they have done AMD chips. Hopefully that means there is decent headroom for overclocking this time, at least for the lucky.

Mods please remove if this is against the rules

So was pcie4, but that has been said not to work!

Nice, The higher speed RAM will have played its part as it includes a lot of memory bandwidth in the scores, 4000Mhz+ would easily crack 6000.

High clock + high RAM it could be an 8700K killer.

A browser workload should prefer low latency to memory bandwidth. So just pumping up the mhz on ram is only going to be beneficial if it doesnt compromise latency.

I saw this on another forum, can't find the source but it should be related to that PBO thing we are talking about:

 

[Gee]

Beat me to it! @maltrabob

 

[Potatowithearsontheside]

Makes sense; it's the CPU snooping on the mobo's capabilities, not the other way around.

I was planning to upgrade my Crosshair VI, but I really see no reason to now. I have no use for PCIe 4.0 any time soon and it still has more than enough VRM to handle an overclocked 16-core. I'd probably only trust this board and the Taichi from that generation though. MSI and Gigabyte's X370 flagships were absolute trash.

I think a lot of this hype for X570 is just FOMO, if they were reasonably priced then that's a different matter altogether but they're not. Look at the prices of those NVME drives on this thread, absolute madness, 99% of people will see no benefit whatsoever. Nearly £500 for 2TB of storage and that's all it is, storage. Crazy.

The 3600? that hype seems justified it looks like a stonking chip. Got to seperate the wheat from the chaff.

Yes he corrected himself in the comments.

It's a CPU feature, so it works on compatible mobo's that have a update.

I have asked the question on how does the CPU know how much extra VRM headroom it has to play with though.

pcie 4.0 seems massively overhyped.

GPU's dont even exceed 8 lanes of pcie 3.0 yet, never mind needing 16 lanes of pcie 4.0.

Is there any features on the x570 boards that are only possible due to the pcie 4.0 tech, in terms of i/o features etc?

 

[StriderX]

Just mystical M2 drives with dirty naughty speeds.

Otherwise it's pretty pointless with PCIE5 coming out within the year.

 

[chrcoluk]

Interesting PBO on zen 2, is limited to x570 yet on ryzen 2 b450 had it enabled. AMD seem to be going the intel route on maximising profits.

I wish I had that possibility. My C6H will just not update the bios though so I can't keep using it. It's also making me not want to get an Asus board next time too.

It's not limited to X570.

It does compromise latency by just pumping mhz.

We won't see PCI-E5 on consumer boards for another year or two.

How come we've had PCIE 3.0 for what seems like a lifetime but PCIE4 will be replaced by 5 so quickly?
