Made a video of the stock AMD Wraith Max RGB color loop, for those interested. Is like a minute long

That's something for the other ryzen thread not this one. It is not official information so it isnt for this thread ...

Cavemanthe0ne · April 3, 2017, 5:42am

im sorry, but if you want to talk about this move it to @noenken's thread as I can't comment.

Back on topic:
I'll be building a performance per watt type of machine/testing it with a 1500X + GTX 950 (not best GPU but best I have that is efficient) for launch day.

Also:
Will see if i can share a bit more of the specs but for now the ones that are ok are in the above (the box with the 1500x and 1600x) photo.

New Ryzen Balanced power plan update:

The RYZEN whatever thread! Anything. Just ANYTHING on RYZEN

New Ryzen Balanced power plan update: A little background is needed AMD Ryzen processors feature AMD SenseMI technology, a sophisticated package of sensing and adapting features that (amongst other capabilities) allow the underlying microarchitecture to rapidly execute fine adjustments to voltage and frequency for peak performance. These changes can occur as quickly as 1 millisecond on an AMD Ryzen CPU. However, this intended functionality depends on the integrated power management in Ryzen being in absolute control. After all, nothing knows the hardware better than the hardware itself! Transitions between frequencies and voltages are governed by “P-States.” P-states are frequency/voltage combinations requested by the operating system. Processors receive these requests all the time, and act on them by selecting matching states built into the hardware. The Windows-default Balanced plan, in the interest of balancing power and performance, sets higher thresholds and longer timers for transitions into faster P-states than the High Performance plan. This can sometimes limit how quickly our processor responds to “go faster” promptings from high-demand applications. Secondly, the default Balanced plan attempts to park all logical processors beyond the first 10% whenever possible. On an 8C16T AMD Ryzen 7 1800X, for example, logical processor 0 (physical core) and logical processor 1 (SMT core) stay awake, while the remaining 14 logical processors can be parked at any time. Resuming from a parked state has a latency cost that can affect performance, too. The AMD Ryzen Balanced power plan Because of these findings, the new AMD Ryzen Balanced power plan reduces the timers and thresholds for P-state transitions to improve clockspeed ramping. This lets the hardware take full control more often. We’ve also disabled core parking for more wakeful cores. As you can see in the chart below, the performance gains can be substantial—on par with the High Performance plan, in fact! …

Further:

Ryzen Master version 1.0.1 will be available starting April 11th with two important updates:

Ryzen Master now reports junction temperature, rather than tCTL, by automatically removing the tCTL offset on the AMD Ryzen 1800X, 1700X, and 1600X processors. See the “temperature reporting” section of this blog for more context on tCTL.

The installer no longer enables or requires HPET when Ryzen Master is installed with a system running an AGESA 1.0.0.4-based BIOS. See the “let’s talk BIOS updates” section of this blog for more context on AGESA 1.0.0.4.

Less than 24 hours to launch
SoonTM

forgot to bump this
but here's some results with my ryzen 5 chips

Kubuksa · May 16, 2017, 11:34pm

Its late here, but I wanted to share this

AMD financial analyst day is live as we speak (http://webcastevents.com/events/amd/analystday/live/player.htm)

Threadripper announced

Naples=Epyc

Ryzen pro announced

Vega announcement in a new topic: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/vega-frontier-edition-announced/115969

Cavemanthe0ne · May 16, 2017, 11:46pm

I will have more information on this tomorrow as well

Kubuksa · May 16, 2017, 11:47pm

watching the full stream? I just came home from work and then this bombshell dropped

Cavemanthe0ne · May 16, 2017, 11:52pm

Less that, more that I might be, maybe getting the full slide deck? Really have no idea I may just screencap it myself. Not entirely sure but probably?
I did watch what I could of the show though, so yeah. On mobile at work atm so.

Kubuksa · May 16, 2017, 11:56pm

Oehhh I like. Please keep us posted. This would save me from watching the full presentation tomorrow which is 4 hours and counting I believe. I am very interested in all other info from this presentation, would love to see the latest amd roadmap for example.

Official youtube video

expected 2nd half of June

Cavemanthe0ne · May 17, 2017, 7:25pm

More info coming later today
At work atm (again) so. But will be sharing all the things I can (which is most of them lol)

SLOWION · May 18, 2017, 7:17am

My Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.8GHz vs Ryzen 7 1700 stock

Marten · May 18, 2017, 5:17pm

ECC and who to believe. Its like a cosmic ray and ill tell you I called out an error.

Sensai · May 18, 2017, 11:19pm

I just did a cinebench test on my 1700 @ 3.9 and it was 1607. My first cinebench test mark ever.
