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

AMD had informed publications that some of Vega APUs have a frequency black hole from 1350-1450 Mhz when overclocked, but it's fine above that.

So if you were stuck at around 1350 Mhz try more than 1450 Mhz and you will maybe have a surprise discovering you can reach 1575-1600 Mhz.

Quite a few people on reddit who were stuck at sub 1300MHz have given it a go and suddenly found they can actually get 1500MHz on stock 1.1V using their RR APU's.

It's a shame Amd are just around to prop up the bigger boys, until the bigger boys will be self sufficient and then will dump Amd.
I always had suspicions over Amd giving intel the Apu market, with Vega GM/Gl.
We'll see how it turns out in a year or so, but as much as raven ridge is a refresher, it's still very weak. I would love to see a 4c8t and 6c12t
Ryzen with the same 1536/1280 Vega(polaris die). But I guess it just can't command the price that Apple and Intel can do so in the intended market place.
 
I like it how bullish AMD are right now, look at that :eek: :eek:

In fact these are actually cheaper, same modules, just different heatsink. :)
 
So, how decent is that RAM?

I was looking at getting the 16GB Dark Pro 3200MHz kit (C14) when I upgrade to Ryzen, but this 16GB kit is a whole £60 cheaper! What would be the practical difference between these two kits in terms of performance on a Ryzen system?
 
@Gibbo
Those use B die also ?? Or is it TUF specific thing ??
Deffo like Gray ones better.
If it goes for memory have You heard anything about 10nm Samsung ddr's yet ?? I know they started making some for laptops last month but have not seen any news about desktop parts yet :(

@strumpusplunket as long as its B-Die it will do the job matter of playing with volts and gettig them to run at C14 :)

Only 8 Pack is guaranteed B die, the other stuff TUF, Dark Pro, Vulcan there is no guarantee on specific IC.

We won't be stocking the TUF series.
