Surely they could just add it to the Steam T&C's, there's no personal data involved, simply taking hardware specs doesn't even have to be user identifiable.

True. But you just know some cry baby somewhere would kick up a fuss. So it's probably easier/safer for them to leave it as an opt in as opposed to opt function.

If you do that, you're just using the Windows Balance Profile and will lose the performance enhancements gained from the Ryzen Power Profile.

Sense MI handles clock frequency and as long as you have C states enabled in the bios, the CPU cores will downclock and go to sleep where applicable. I apprecaite that software indicates the CPU is stuck at the highest frequency, but that's because it can only read the last P state the processor was in.

Using the Ryzen profile and PState overclock mine shows the downclocks, in some programs. Aida works but not core temp sits at the top freq).

Seems to work the same with High Perfrormance plan and settings 20% minimum processor.

What exactly are the benefits of the Ryzen profile?

With over a week of data, I think the Passmark chart has settled enough to see how Ryzen is doing in Q3 so far for Passmark submissions.

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/market_share.html

As of now AMD share has gone from

18.1% in Q1 to
20.2% in Q2 to
23.8% in Q3 (so far).

Pretty good momentum. Just keep in mind Ryzen chips are more likely to be benchmarked right now. Steam Hardware Survey (a more reliable indicator of processors in actual usage) still not showing an uptick. I suspect it will only increase once Raven Ridge comes out as Intel still dominate laptops.

So they are gaining between 3 - 4 percent per quarter which isn't bad. TR launch will prolly accelerate that a little bit more

Threadripper will have no impact. That is a very niche product.

Remember these are benchmarks and the greatest gain always occurs right after launch. Then unless sales are maintained it will fall away again as the initial rush of benchmarks disappear.

1600 chips seem to be clocking higher than 1700. I'd be hoping for closer to 4ghz.

But 3.8ghz is a pretty safe overclock with close to stock voltage.

Well my one might be a dud, set up the ration to 36 with 2933 Mhz ram, and when I load the HW monitor the cpu is set to 1550Mhz. What might be the issue? R15 score drops from 1140 to 413 :)
 
Building a little ryzen system this week, matx 1700 build with a fury x. Be interesting to see how it performs :). Ordered 16 gigs corsair lpx 3200 ddr4 which is what i have in my main system hopefully works fine in this. Also hope that gigabyte have some updated bios for the ga-ab350m for better ram speeds.

Which memory would achieve higher clocks, corsair plx with Samsung e die, or Hynix one
Click to expand...
I have not seen many people use samsung e die, but there are plenty of hynix users out there that have managed 3200mhz. I think you'd have better luck getting hynix to work than e die purely because of its popularity and the amount of guides out there for hynix.
