That virtualization info sounds pretty slick, better access to faster RAM for the masses is very good news too.
Who cares about 4000mhz, compared to 3200mhz its next to nothing. Insanely hard to spot while gaming. You all that think 4000mhz is the thing you should do blind tests.. Just saying.
People care because ryzen seams to scale well at least up to 3200mhz though it probably has diminishing returns after 3200mhz maybe it'll keep scaling who knows.
I'm not sure i understand your post. Do you have inside knowledge that tells you 4000mhz on a ryzen system would bring no noticeable performance improvements? Because everything states otherwise, unless it's stops scaling after 3200mhz, which would have to be tested first, to prove...so have you tested it?
Sorry I was drunk last night but I tried myself with Prey; had on the same quickload position +10fps 3200 vs 3000. Increased it to 3333 and tried, +2fps. That's why I stopped tweaking at 3200 as I wouldn't ever notice that 3333. Just like I wouldn't notice 4000. So going from 2666mhz(didn't test it, just 3000vs3200vs3333) to 3200 was insane boost and just pure awesome but 3200->3333 nothing to write home about.. I use fullhd 144hz screen. Perhaps with a different resolution than fullhd it would be a different results or with some other game. AIDA memory bench read went from 49k to 50k with 3200 vs 3333. Latencies were the same. Not a huge difference there either. In other words probably gonna adjust 3333mhz to post every time and make it work but wouldn't pay any extra for a DDR4 that can hit 3333mhz..
It appears timings are more important than just speed though. Very interested to see a memory guide when some one makes it. I would probably wait for AGESA 1.0.0.8or9 to do it though.
wide spread compatibility in ram is a good thing although the 4000 ddr4 ram kits sound something really expensive that would make sense on the r7 series and not the r5 .... else why go with r5 and 4000 mhz ram and not go with the r7 and 3200 ram ? if we assume the 4k mhz is something realistic in the near future
More impressive Ryzen scaling with memory latency with new AGESA. Keketin tested various ram speeds and latencies in Ashes of the Singularity. https://bbs.io-tech.fi/threads/amd-...kset-ja-kokemukset.14849/page-54#post-1016073 Summary from most critical clockspeeds: 2400MHz 40,4 3200 MHz 45,2 3200 MHz LL 50,0 Low latency seems to be extremely important with Ryzen.
any sites out there testing ryzen against intel with this new update? its a nice increase but i cant tell how close it is to intel now
Since i cannot add pictures/links here yet, i made it possible for visitors to see the chart i used to compare the results i got. Io-tech did retests with AotS after the "ryzen patch". So if you follow the link Dygaza posted you should now see the chart with intel processors and day 1 results of ryzen. I'd bet that after we get stable agesa 1.0.0.6a bioses, some sites are going to retest ryzens performance in various applications and games.
