Vast majority of AM3 mobos just needed a BIOS update to use AM3+. It was largely the bottom bin chipsets that didn't get an AM3+ upgrade.

i'm guessing the 64 pcie lanes seem to be "active" even if not connected because there's a not insignificant power cost for those in the first place

There isn't a comprehensive list of ram that works with Ryzen because there's just thousands of SKUs, but there's some known Samsung B-die ram sticks.

jeffreyw posted:I have a question regarding Threadripper. Looking at Puget System's benchmarks of Adobe and CAD suites, Intel's similarly priced 7900X typically matches or keeps up with the 1950X in multithreaded tasks but completely slaughters it when tasks are poorly threaded. Unfortunately, there isn't much to compare with as most reviewers don;t go much further then use Cinebench, don't test professional programs or don't really go into detail what they're actually testing.

single CCX, which is a good thing for inter-core as it basically means there's no longer any significant ram-related latency, the memory controller stops getting a hellfire workout and they can use the space savings for the GPU

That is kind of disappointing honestly, I was hoping for a hard 15w clamp but given how the Envy is built (active cooling and all) it's probably what made sense to go with. I am really interested in seeing a true 15w and 9w test.

the second attempt at doing maxwell-era CUDA primitive discard worth noting that nvidia backported primitive discard to kepler and fermi for a significant performance boost shortly after the first maxwell card hit, that AMD can't somehow do this for GCN is probably not a good thing for the graphics uarch i think?

If I’m running a PC that’s a glorified torrent box that also runs Handbrake a few hours a day, which do I want? zen+ is going to be a 200-300mhz clock speed bump over zen so it's basically the average intel improvement if you need a chip now get it now, otherwise you can continue to play waiting game for a while longer Anime Schoolgirl fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Jan 10, 2018 |

AMD actually does frequency binning, which is why you have a pretty tight range of overclock expectations per SKU with relatively few outliers and out of those, they seem to be restricted to utter comedy like an 8 core R3 1300x
