I saw that. I hadent before. Thank you for sharing.
My thoughts were based on it coming H2. I figured they'd take Raven Ridge the APU which are confirmed to be 4 core only (also coming H2) and just disable the GPU as they did with the old Athlons. That made more sense to.me than harvesting 4 cores from 8.
Especially since yields are so good. They are missing out on money if they had to artificially make 4 core parts rather than just harvest defective products
From what I have seen, the SMT implementation has much better scaling than hyperthreading. I don't know how they went about it exactly, but it really seems to me that once again, AMD is focussing on multi threaded performance and not so much on single threaded performance. If only everything could make use of it the way that cinebench can.
ryznen supports up to 2400MHz without OC. If you don't plan to oc controller, don't buy memory over 2400MHz. (difference is small, none, or gain if you get nice timings on your memory)
supports ecc memory (it will have ecc mode disabled), you can buy server memory; sometimes its much cheaper than consumer retail versions.
for overclocking bios will offer cpu frequency (auto) core performance boost (auto) (only X models) downcore control (auto) dram frequency (auto) adjusted dram frequency (read-only) advanced dram config - use may set timings on each stick or on all manually cpu voltage control (auto) dram voltage control (auto) cpu memory changed detect (enabled)

We won't know till we see the overclocks. The 1800X could be very highly binned in comparison. It'll probably be 8320 Vs 8350 all over again in regards to overclocks. I'm anxious to see.
Glad I saw this. I was looking at a 64GB kit of 3600MHz memory. Would have been a pricy mistake. Though I was going with the high end ASUS board anyway.
Maybe I should get some cheaper 3200, underclock it and see how improvements come with bios updates.
Yes that was why I was considering ordering a new Ryzen setup once user benchmarks start to get out and make sure everything is lining up with AMD specs
I want lots of RAM, maybe I'll get a board and two 16 GB sticks in the mean time. Looks like the base freq 16 GB sticks are supported on the MSI QVL at least. Firmware updates (or motherboard revisions if you're Gigabyte) will improve the situation no doubt. Much like the early Skylake stuff.

Section 4.4.2 page 68 North bridge Configuration has the IOMMU Enable/Disable. Funny though that the screenshot says Z270, rushed much? Feels like the Skylake launch a fair bit. We should have official word on AMD-VI at March 2 a the latest.
Edit: Interesting, the Asus PRIME X370-PRO initially had only DDR4 2666 support, now they've changed it to include up to 3200 MHz OC. So I guess they're hard at work validating memory as we speak :-)
