Ryzen 8700G APU Spec Confirmation: ECC Memory Support (No!) and PCIe Lanes (No Bifurcation, they suck!)

Wow, it really sucks:

  • Confirmed ECC is not working with the 8700G (menu option in the UEFI without function)
  • NO PCIe Bifurcation Option for the 8 Lanes that get to the top CPU PCIe Slot (to be sure that there is no hidden “Auto” feature I installed a Delock 90091 with 2 x U.2 NVMe SSDs that is functioning fine on other (AM4) systems and only the first SSD is detected)
  • IOMMU Option not present in the NBIO Options

(Tested on an ASUS ProArt X670E-CREATOR WIFI with latest BIOS 1904 (AGESA AM5 PI 1.1.0.2b), I have been using many AM4 ASUS motherboards so I generally know my way around their BIOSes)

:frowning:

Will make a feature comparison with a 7800X3D to add validity to my findings, this has been my very first AM5 system…

Will add photos later, have to take a hate nap now. Utterly disappointed.
If this is “as intended” the non-existent PCIe Bifurcation Feature would disqualify the 8000G APUs completely for me.

Would it help anyone if I recorded a BIOS Options walkthrough as a video?

@Wendell
Can you confirm the lack of any PCIe Bifurcation Options with Phoenix 1?
