That’s going to be a resounding maybe. https://reddit.com/r/Amd/s/j9ipmGoUcq

No, seriously... what kurds?!
What does AGESA 1.0.0.7c do over the b variant?

--edit: JFC, there's so much dots in the version number, why do they keep changing the trailing letter instead of bumping the actual version number? Considering the changes are typically larger.

That’s a lot of fiddling with settings I don’t understand, hmm. I wonder if it will get better before Zen 5.

v-cache doesn't get the usual gains

this game is so hosed that it seems premature to draw conclusions. wait for the first 5 patches and 2 gameready driver cycles and see what happens.

in fallout 4, creation engine liked memory bandwidth, and cache size, and having SSD available (NVMe probably mandatory now). maybe v-cache is just more than Creation can utilize but that's also a somewhat surprising/counterintuitive finding in a game as badly programmed as that, with the history of that.

maybe it's preferring the larger L1/L2 cache of alder and raptor over previous gens, and also the generally higher bandwidth?

does 5800X3D/7800X3D do good in ARMA3/Fallout 4? Those are sort of the bellwether memory bandwidth titles I'm thinking of and I'm curious whether X3D helps in that situation. Def does in counterstrike etc.

the "GPU busy" metric is also amazing and it's cool to see it be rolled out. it'd also be so supremely hilarious to go back and see who was getting tons of driver overhead in X thing. Witcher 3, Crysis 3, etc.

I mean, the 7800X3D is still 15% faster than the 7700X in the most CPU-limited benchmark, which is pretty standard. Starfield just loves ADL/RPL in particular, it seems. At least the 7800X3D is performing better in this test than PCGH's test, likely thanks to the faster memory being used (Zen 4 scales more with memory than ADL/RPL). Turn on those XMP/EXPO profiles, folks.

Oof, the 5800X3D looks very pedestrian. Not what people hoping to ride out AM4 for as long as possible want to see.

I don't think we ever saw anyone do comparisons between the 5800X and 5800X3D for Skyrim vanilla vs Skyrim heavily modded, but that's the one area where people talk about the L3 cache being a big improvement.

If anyone owns a qualifying AMD product but doesn't have a starfield key, I have 2 spare amdrewards codes. They do require product verification and tying to a steam account.

list of qualifying product or product combinations. Both keys come from a 7800X3D but I think it awards you based on your hardware, so if you have a qualifying individual product on that page or a qualifying combination you should be good.

I'll pm them to the first two people who quote this.

edit: Sent them all out.

I could use one if you don't mind. Bought my 7800X3D a few weeks before they started the promotion and I wasn't able to talk CS into giving one to me.

Rumor is that its the exact same IO die as Zen4 without any silicon revision, so might not be much different for memory stuff. Still a ways off from knowing for sure, and I think your sentiment is smart regardless.

They can still have higher supported fabric speeds with the same die. Intel doesn't just support faster DDR5 but is also getting more raw bandwidth for any given DDR5 speed in general so I hope there's improvement.

Given that every console and laptop part is still monolithic and will continue to be, laptops need big iGPUs more than desktops, and the current fastest iGPUs are all laptop only, AMD could pretty easily bring them to desktop if they wanted but they may not choose to.

If they don't sell them socketed they'll still be available in mini-PCs.

That's what I mean; I'm guessing the chips they make will all be reserved for mobile/soldered, since they don't need them to hit the office pc market anymore.

....Does it feel like they kind of just.... obsoleted Mendocino with their own product?

Like, 7520U is 4c/8t, Radeon 610M, and 15W. This.... can pretty much slot into that same niche, but better all around.

N5 is significantly more expensive than N6, so in terms of "are they going to ship millions of these" not really until N5 137mm^2 gets cheap enough compared to N6 100mm^2.

Dr. Video Games 0031

Mendocino is basically a chromebook chip, while this looks like it's a class above that in terms of power consumption and performance (and cost). Maybe we'll see it in low-end gaming handhelds and ultrabooks.

Yeah, 137mm² of N5 vs 100 mm² of N6 means probably at least twice the cost.

Of course, given what all the other stuff you put in a laptop cost, it's probably sensible for most users to go for the better chip for dramatically better performance, especially in 1T.

Is the whole 7800X3D chips and supporting motherboards frying themselves a solved problem? I recently ordered a 7800X3D and Aorus B650 Elite AX to replace my 3700X and have just learned about the issue from the Gamers Nexus videos covering the topic. I haven't built the new system yet, so the parts are still unused and in the box, and this news has me considering just returning them for a 13700KF build instead.

Has this issue been resolved? Are these chips safe to recommend/use again?

I've not heard of any new issues for anyone who's updated to AGESA 1.0.0.6 (late April), and since then both 1.0.0.7a and b have come out, and 1.0.0.9 is supposedly being worked on.
It's also only an issue if you've got EXPO enabled before that version - and there's a fair chance that anything on the market now will come with a newer BIOS anyway.

i’ve got mine under a low profile cooler and it’s perfectly fine. doesn’t hit 5.0 or anything and it slows down when i use it for handbrake but in games it’s fine. people ask why not get 100% of the performance you pay for and i say the small build (perversion) is what i paid for, not benchmarks
