In-depth Ryzen 7 technical analysis in non-gaming scenarios

https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/ryzen-strictly-technical.2500572/

IMPORTANT INFO.

SMT was not deactivated in many reviews leading to regressions in gaming performance:

The regressions are reasonably noticeable and many review sites are not aware of this.

Update!!

The SMT issue is down to Windows 10. It looks like The Stilt has done even more testing:

https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/ryzen-strictly-technical.2500572/page-8#post-38775732

I did some 3D testing and eventhou there is not nearly enough data to confirm it, I'd say the SMT regression is infact a Windows 10 related issue.
In 3D testing I did recently on Windows 10, the title which illustrated the biggest SMT regression was Total War: Warhammer.

All of these were recorded at 3.5GHz, 2133MHz MEMCLK with R9 Nano:

Windows 10 - 1080 Ultra DX11:

8C/16T - 49.39fps (Min), 72.36fps (Avg)
8C/8T - 57.16fps (Min), 72.46fps (Avg)

Windows 7 - 1080 Ultra DX11:

8C/16T - 62.33fps (Min), 78.18fps (Avg)
8C/8T - 62.00fps (Min), 73.22fps (Avg)

At the moment this is just pure speculation as there were variables, which could not be isolated.
Windows 10 figures were recorded using PresentMon (OCAT), however with Windows 7 it was necessary to use Fraps.

http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Ryzen-7-1800X-CPU-265804/Tests/Test-Review-1222033/

It seems the 4C versions which appear to use only one CCX might be fine.

It looks like Hardware.fr has done some more testing with SMT off.

But here is the big kicker!!

They tested in performance mode and found not all the regressions were actually only down to SMT!

Edit!!

PS: Mods, Hardware.fr provide forum links for their review graphs,as they seem fine for direct linking of their images.

08/03/2017 Update

Another day another potential issue which might have hampered performance at launch:

Just ban Gigabyte boards for using old AGESA and make mainboard tab mandatory for AM4 submissions. Not sure about MSI or ASRock but it's not possible to do this on ASUS.

I seriously think with any AMD launch you need +3 months added to the launch to actually get an accurate picture!!

Badly and makes the site run like ****.

Probably worth waiting for decent reputable western reviews.

Hmm 3Dmark scores look dodgy for zen.

Runs ok for me and chiphell are a reputable site.

I heard there was a new CPU launched by AMD they might want to consider!

Athlon 64 3700+ on a socket 754... that's what he needs. keeps the performance up and the costs low
