So when can I expect Ryzen in my Amazon Echo
Can these new apu’s do ECC memory on any current mITX board for a small zfs storage system?
The Gigabyte claims to support ECC, but no idea if the APU itself does, although presumably it should as it’s as much Ryzen as the other R3/5/7 CPU’s.
If anyone knows how to test for actual ECC functionality I can test the ASRock mITX board probably tomorrow evening.
I’m not so sure about ECC on these. Looking at AM1 and FM2 the APUs haven’t been doing that historically. It would surprise me if they do now.
“Body is too similar to what you recently posted” but it is valid so shut up, forum software!
Since this thread has so many eyes on it, I’ll spam this one time:
so i bought a ryzen5 2400g with a gigabyte AB250n-gaming/wifi mobo. the 2400g wouldn’t boot (needed bios update) , so i bought a ryzen 3 1200. updated bios , install the 2400g and all is good.
i had some ddr4 2133 ram (dual channel kit) i put in there, it ran ok with that. i overclocked the ram to 2933, and it is stable there.
overclocked the 2400G to 3.9Ghz and its stable there, albeit hot (need a better cooler, and hot enough i didnt try for more Ghz). so i returned the cpu to stock settings and left the ram overclocked to 2933; it seems to like that.
now i have a spare ryzen 3 which i may build into something to sell.

What? that’s just wrong. You should be able to update the BIOS without CPU being in the motherboard.
the mobo i bought didnt support upgrading the bios without a cpu 
.
Might find another forum member in need of it for same reason…

that thought did cross what little of a mind i have left …

If I had a GPU to use I’d offer to rent it.
As it is I submitted the RMA “boot kit needed” form so we’ll see what happens there.
Worst case I’m back here in a week after having bought someone’s el-cheapo HD 5770…
I pray my GPU will not die cause I can’t replace it.

pm me if you run into troubles.

Will do! Motherboard, RAM, case/PSU should all arrive sometime this week. The FIL went to Microcenter for me and is shipping me this:
if your very lucky your board may come with a bios that supports raven ridge (gigabyte released one in december) and it might just work. if your luck is like mine, plan on murphy’s law to take effect.

Everyone is loosing their minds again with wild speculation about Ryzen 2600 Leaks
https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/6690641
The reporting is rumor mill quality.
Of note is the Insyde Corp TMP1000AC BIOS (Hint at embedded test platform)
The other hint is the AMD Myrtle-PiR board.
These are usually embedded/low power/test platform boards.

Also see the OpenBenchmarking Logs for AMD Myrtle-PiR mainboards.
https://openbenchmarking.org/s/AMD%20Myrtle-PiR
Of note is that there are basically ZERO other AMD Myrtle-PiR board names out there. None, Nada, Zilch, aside from these.
A few logs from 9th and 15th February 2018.
All looks to be tested on an AMD Device 1450 Chipset.
Ryzen 7, Threadripper, and Epyc 1st gen share the same ID.
Aka[1022:1450]
Raven Ridge and 2200G/2400G for example is [1022:15d0] or AMD Device 15d0.

Also the cache layout is bloody ridiculous:
16MB of L3 X 2???
But the rest is unchanged? Come on now.
What is this magic.
Apparently Geekbench has a bug in detecting correct L3 cache size.
It calculates the total L3 size and then still appends the multiplier.
https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/2522347
So L3 cache size is no longer a useful indicator as above.

Realized that I dont understand whats L1,2,3 caches doing, so…
L3 cache is shared between all cores
L2 cache is shared between two cores
and every core has its own L1 cache
Did I figure it right?
