OcUK Ryzen APU review thread

Doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the APU's themselves, non of what he just talked through is a hardware issue, it's all various software that hasn't been updated to function correctly with the new hardware. Developers need to start taking AMD seriously again and getting updates/patches/BIOS out before product launches.

He was also talking about the asrock board having quite poor options.
I think AMD need to rein this sort of thing in.
 
As I said, developers need to start taking them seriously and allocating time to getting stable fully featured BIOSes out in time for launch. Some board partners have managed it fine, others are lacking. AMD have no control over this, and the same thing happened with Ryzen launch because board manufacturers are used to AMD not being competetive or in demand for the last decade, so they've got used to not being too bothered about AMD product launches.

Whilst they cannot control the likes of asrock etc, the vega launch was also a mess.
Infact a lot of releases lately are a mess, I wish they would get it right first time instead of rushing.

Not necessarily, wasn't the memory compat issue with Ryzen when it launched down to AMD dont they maintain AGESA.
 
I think the Intel Hades Canyon is what other geezer wants , intel cpu + powerful vega gfx , sadly tho not likely to be released to the public. Only problems are price £700 and power draw (2x 240 power bricks iirc)

Otherwise I think thses look fine a do-it-all media gaming browsing Nuc .. except for the price of 8gb of 3600mhz memory
 
This is a really impressive customer service from AMD. Intel make you buy a whole new motherboard, whilst AMD will send you a CPU so that you can update and use an existing motherboard.

Just realised these have fewer PCI-E lanes. So not a good option to build for an HTPC system with the option of dropping in a GPU further down the line?
 
Phew, I wouldn't be planning on using something super powerful, only for 1080p gaming where the 2400G can't do.
