Yes, that worked fully until Excavator.
Excavator was the first design to implement the Shadow PStates. To make it unnecessary to fully redesign the whole power management, the implementation is much more simple than in Zen.
In Zen they are truly invisible and only the power management processor can access and control them.

More advanced than Intel's CPU ? I mean not possible with Software?

Lol got banned from Toms for posting the turbo off/on state and how it appears on Passmark as N/A or only shows base clocks. Aparently if you use the "you" term you are calling out. I guess they rather promote wrong information or assumptions over someone that actually wasted 10 minutes running the test. Good riddence.

Take it as a complement. They are a thick bunch of mods and the discussion is polarized by juan and his alternate facts. :p

Be gone you trolling, shill!


Would you look at prime number with your benches, 31 vs ~20 with slower ram, plus some "minor" decreases in other categories. Should start thinking about fast RAM sticks for Ryzen now.

I suppose that those shadow p-states must be programmed at boot by BIOS? It seems strange to me that the CPU comes with predefined and pre-programmed p-states. I have already read of shadow p-states on the BKDG (i read the last version and talks also of BR), but i could remember bad on shadow p-states...

Okay, so AVX is probably irrelevant, the root is in latency (and from what i remember of prime number sieves, it makes perfect sense, the memory jumps there are ridiculous at times).

my memory is 4x4gb @3200 cas16.. is that going to be considered fast RAM or not?

Sorry if that is a dumb question, i'm a relative noob when it comes to memory.

3200 @ 16 cas is 10ns which i would call it better then average. High end super expensive your looking @ high 8ns. DDR4 @ 2400 with 17 cas (the Zen sample) is looking at 14ns which is slower then DDR3 1066 7-7-7 which is 13ns.

edit lol there is a user 2400, adding a space between @ and 2400

Yes, at least going by these synthetic benchmarks it seems Zen would really benefit from fast RAM. We know Skylake does scale well into the DDR4 >4000 range in real world workloads.

I don't think Ryzen's IMC will be able to go that far, but it sure can do much better than DDR4 2400 17-17-17-39. Yuck at that RAM. After all, there's eight cores feeding off dual channel class bandwidth. It would be expected to see faster RAM having an effect in real world workloads outside synthetic benchmarks.

I think damage control is in full swing. Ryzen is clearly NOT a Skylake killer but is very close to high IPC intel cores. This is striking a nerve ;). Next year, with a base lifted this high, one can only go higher ;). 10%? 15%? 256b load/store units? 6 core CCX? AMD has managed to catch up, that is the point. With intel not having new uarch until 2018 or 2019, AMD is set to grab significant market share in all segments.
Competition is good because end user always wins ;).

Implying you can lose as end user in CPU business.

Intel should ship Cannonlake this year. It doesn't seem like it'll show up in anything but notebooks/2-in-1s though. Things may be getting a little weird in the Intel camp with Cannonlake in Y/U format but Kabylake/Coffeelake on mainstream desktop and Skylake/Kabylake on HEDT.

That would put HEDT two generations behind the current one.

I am sure they would pull another Xeon-D (Cannonlake replacing Broadwell) if necessary.

Which is possible, and happens often.

Whatever they have in the pipe is several years in the making, and the question should be asked, a couple of years ago did Intel think AMD was going to be competing at this point? Unlikely from the rumors so far... So why should the products coming to fruition now be any different than the ones of the past? Wasn't Kaby Lake supposed to be 15% better performance? Seen this movie before.

Expediting desktop Cannonlake probably isn't feasible, because from what we know so far, Intel's 10nm process is a disaster. It might be more reasonable to expedite Coffee Lake, which (leaks indicate) is basically just Kaby Lake with 6 cores instead of 4. The problem is that Intel is not at all an agile company; something that would take Apple 6 months would take Intel 2 years, or more.

Elaborate. In the worst case you just end up stuck on what you've had.
Getting the same core counts and 5-10% performance increases year over year for the same price sounds like "losing" to me. The desktop CPU market with an Intel monopoly is a boring place with a 5 year upgrade cycle and subpar improvements even then. When was the last time anyone was excited about a new CPU arch other than Zen? Sandy Bridge? Yeah, they've made a significant improvements since then, but really, Skylake was the first arch that was worth upgrading to since then - 4.5 years later.

From a person you know that tests motherboards?

Yes, he is also a reviewer so he knows enough about Ryzen but will never tell me as he is on official warning from AMD for a leak of information that went viral on youtube. Lets just say there are the same issues as CPC is having with turbo stability and boards being awful at the moment. He says Asus and Asrock have great products ready for release though.

Thanks for posting your physics and prime number scores. Thanks to that we can be almost certain that memory bandwidth is the reason Zen is behind Intel HEDT in Physics and Prime Numbers.

Faster RAM (lower latency and higher frequency) seems it would help, but most likely to still be a bit lower than Intel HEDT due to quad channel versus dual channel memory.

It's latency not throughput, you can see based off the two ddr3 1066 tests. I'll try get to 10ns cas at 1066 tonight and I bet the CPU score will be the same as 2000 10-11-10

Just to be sure i tried to run my memory @ 2000mhz 20-22-20, i cant get post, or anything with such high numbers.
So i did 1066@ 7-7-7, which 100% confirms a strong memory latency to performance of the two "poor" performing sub tests:

Code:
Ivb@4.3                       2000mhz 10-11-10    1066mhz 10-11-10    1066 mhz 7-7-7
Database Operations           106                   82.6                  89
Physics                       597                   359.7               435
ns access time time aprox   10ns               20ns               13ns

edit: typo in the data


I took my 4.5GHz i7 2600k and ran some numbers after seeing your post on SemiAccurate - totally confirmed what you said.

DDR3-1333 9-11-10-28 timings:
cpumark_i7_1333_CL9.png


DDR3-1600 8-10-9-21 timings: (wouldn't work with loose timings... no idea why)
cpumark_i7_1600_CL8.png


DDR3-2133 9-11-10-28 timings:
cpumark_i7_2133_CL9.png


Big difference!

As I switch my PC usage more to a server based usage, Zen really is the only option. At ~$300 for 65 W, that's a dream come true. I may get this + 2 RX 480s (or equivalent GPU) to complete my gaming server. I'm excited to see how this thing performs, and how my server does in its new enclosure.

The cpu is a great option, not a fan of Intel or amd. But my concern is the platform, incompatibility, issues that can be a real pain, for example : not be able to boot from ssd. I m OK if the cpu is not the most powerful, I m not ok with stability and incompatibility that May occur. I will wait for reviews
