Zen sporadic Performance in reviews due to Motherboards

[Mauller]

It appears that motherboards and the bios revisions seem to be a big culprit with the large variance observed between different reviews.

I feel like I'm in October 2011.

What do you mean by that? i was expecting there to be problems, considering it is a new uARCH, chipset and motherboard ecosystem.

It's like I'm witnessing bulldozers launch again.
The exact same things are being used as excuses again.

I put my blame on thread priority (which was an issue for BD). The performance is there this time unlike BD.

For me when I get my 1700, it'll either be fixed or I'll just have to disable SMT. Or just stick it till next iteration.

Yeah, in highly threaded applications it seems to run fantastic. From the AMD reddit, it could be a case of some games having been written with Intels Hyperthreading in mind, which could be casuing the issues. Or it could likewise be a windows issue. But even Intel needed window patching to work properly with Hyperthreading.
