*** AMD "Zen" thread (inc AM4/APU discussion) ***

[Armadillo]

Probably a stupid question, but how come Ryzen is soldered? Is it a bigger die than Ivy onwards? (size was apparently the reason intel was not soldered). So SR3/5 will be smaller because of less cores and maybe not soldered?

 

[RSR]

However did anyone realised that the games were smoother on the 1700 compared to the 7700K? And it looks isn't only me who realised that, there is a whole discussion under the video about this.

Yes, I did notice that.

 

[Locky]

Very impressive. Check out Witcher, the 1700 CPU1 is getting bashed 90%+ whilst 7700K split across more cores, yet the 1700 was keeping up.

GTA the 7700k 80-90% usages on all cores, 1700 much much lower. That game really does use moarrrr coressss.

I find that video very impressive considering it AMD Ryzen 1700 (3.9GHz) versus the i7 7700K (5GHz). With a 1.1Ghz speed advantage, the FPS gap was minimal.

I am sold!

is it me or does the 7700k vid look more jittery than the 1700?

No, I know but nearly everyone wants a real workhorse so you can throw everything at it so it wont bog down. I can't blame them. Smooth performance everywhere.

Only thing i am worried about at the min is that at some point i want 64GB ram, my ryzen will have 2x16GB to start with, will hero 6 handle 4x16GB CL15@3000mhz?

They also mention good frametimes in all but Arma 3

I thought the same also......

Would tie in with Computerbase.de review that showed Ryzen cpu's generally had better frametimes.

After a few beers, the best of us struggle to 'Ryzen to the occasion', but not our processors it seems. New Cinebench world record on multi thread. http://hwbot.org/submission/3473862_elmor_cinebench___r15_ryzen_7_1800x_2454_cb

No is not you. And if you see the full article the guy has posted, you will see that the 7700K true has higher max, but minimum and over time average fps, is much better on the 1700.
Because the 7700K bounces all over the place.

5364Mhz ha

Update your quote, always got room for toilet humour.

That could be the game changer in gaming. Ryzen may not have the raw high FPS but looks like it has the smoother experience..

Hahahah.....

 

[Akagi]

Only 5.4GHz on LN2?!

I had a 2500K which would do that on air lol.

Slower than 8-Packs toaster.

 

[Hotwired]

Only 5.4GHz on LN2?!

You think 6900K does any better?

5.22 appears to be the world record for that.

Troll? Theres a screenshot of 5.8 earlier, anyhow so what if its 5.4? its beating whatever Intel has at that speed, and thats what matters... try harder.

 

[8 Pack]

Well according to the official qualified vendors list for the board on GB's site they have validated that the CMK32GX4M2B3200C16 kit works in the board and that XMP works, I would assume it to be the case if they are listing it for compatibility :S

Xmp is an intel profile so for sure xmp totally irrelevant.

Maybe 2x16 working at 3200mhz maybe but for sure not a given no matter what the vendor claims

Currently no. But with future cpu microcode or memory tables provided by amd and integrated by Asus probably yes. Amd are working on memory related issues now.

 

[8 Pack]

5,2-5.4 on ln2 multi thread benches are fine. To be honest though intel is the Cpu for 3d benches and game style benches. I have very good 10 core doing 5.4 which is the current best.

Thats good to hear.....
