Are weirdly long boot times still an issue on AM5? Found a good deal on an open box 7800X3D and wondering what to expect.

Only first boot or when you clear the CMOS/change the RAM since the mobo has to train the timings. I believe its a DDR5 thing, Intel boards also have the issue.

Normal boot is quick as usual.

Afaik every cold boot unless you enable memory context restore. Once that's on and you don't screw with timings or reset the bios, smooth sailing

hwub didn't even address it in their most recent mobo benchmark video, so it doesn't seem to be a point of concern anymore somehow

My Intel machine definitely boots quicker but I haven't enabled memory context restore with my 7800x3d because I heard it could potentially lead to memory instability. Could be nothing though, I haven't owned AMD machines in like 20 years before this.

From pressing the power button to being at the Windows desktop with everything initialized takes 15 seconds on my Asrock X670E PG Lightning.
Windows reports "BIOS Time: 8.43 seconds" if I check the startup tab in Task Manager - despite the fact that it isn't a BIOS, and I have no idea how it's calculating that.

However it's not like it's very meaningful, because the only time it affects me is when Windows needs to reboot for an update, as the machine stays on at all other times.

Anytime you change the RAM settings, or on 1st boot, it will train and take a while.

Once its trained if you leave on MemoryContextRestore, or whatever its called, its decent.

If you want the highest possible memory overclock and don't care about boot times or stability much then this make sense.

If you're just trying to run EXPO/XMP at DDR5 5600/6000 with OEM timings then it doesn't matter and you should turn it on.

AGESA is AMDs own thing, the motherboard vendors just get it as a binary blob.

It started out life as something that was intended to have at least an approximation of opensource support, but then AMD just sort of quietly stopped doing it.
This, of course, speaks well of AMDs new opensource firmware project.

It sounds like it's only Microcenter. They're even responsible for the PR/media outreach according to Steve.

This will be a really limited run, because AMD just doesn't have many, and they're not actively making them
(again they're 5800X3D defects). MC said they expect to run out of their supply in 3-6 months.

I assume they do a quick QA run on the chips before grinding them down to fit the 3D cache, makes sense their wouldn't be that many defective units to do a full launch.

e: also MC doesn't have that many stores, only 25ish country wide and even some of those server the same metro like the Atlanta stores. Awesome store to visit though if you are ever close to one.

I run a 5600x with tight timing b-die and -25 offsets on all cores. Its paired with a 3080 10gb. Its stable and fast. Someone check me: at 1440 and 2160, Im likely GPU limited, not CPU limited, right? Said differently, a 5600x3d wouldnt bring much to the table with my current GPU, right?

Yeah they might only have a couple hundred of these, ever.

I probably wouldn't upgrade a 5600X to one but if you still have a 3600 or a Zen 1 in a motherboard that will take it, maybe not a bad idea.

Im still salty that they wont expand to Phoenix. It made sense that they wouldnt when there were two Frys stores here, but now there isnt really any competition.

If you are playing counterstrike, a faster cpu may yield more FPS, though consider your current frame rate and your monitor's refresh rate. More may be pointless.

For a contemporary aaa game, probably no, it won't do much in terms of framerate. However, games are using more threads and more cycles for AI and such; as stated above, it depends on the game. In my opinion, you should only upgrade to the 5800x3D if the urge hits you. Another AM4 six core doesn't seem worth it.

Thanks, yeah. I dont do high-refresh 1080 gaming, nor play 4x games. Most aaa games are optimized well enough, in my experience.

Yeah this is probably just the chips that had flaws during assembly of the 3d package, or had a flaw too subtle to detect during post-fab testing. Every potential 5800X3D starts with a good 8-core die.

Makes sense that they'd not have a lot of them. And it won't happen in the future, since the 7900X3D can use these dies.


FuturePastNow posted:

I'm sure more than a couple hundred -- that wouldn't be worth the time to package up and ship. And in the GN video there's an update that Microcenter expects supply to last 3-6 months. I'd guess somewhere in the 5-10 thousand zone.

There are some fish that are too big to gently caress with. When it becomes a geopolitical hot-potato you unlock it and do your best to disappear into the woodwork and hope nobody's too mad. Like colonial pipeline, the russian group apologized and announced they'd had a sudden desire to improve their manners, were unlocking everything they'd ever done, and would disband as a group.

Some wild swing in gas prices during COVID economic disruption year 2 was exactly the opposite of what anybody needed, and there's also nobody on the planet who's not affected by TSMC disruption let alone the possibility of losing a month of production or w/e.
