A test is always particularly exciting when you come across unexpected problems for which the test subject is not actually responsible. This was also the case here. A RAM test, even if it’s a rather…

Scroll down and there's a video showing the comparison between fast boot with previously trained settings and a complete training session.

Unexpectedly, AM5 is more stable with XMP!

In a world where modern devices are able to show signs of life in seconds, it's absolutely ridiculous how many modern DDR5 based platforms are out there that give absolutely no indication that memory training is taking place. It's just begging for unnecessary support calls and poor user experiences from people who think there's something wrong with their system.

Not to mention what happens when something is actually wrong with the system and support is telling you to wait for the memory training.

About a year ago, Intel posted some stuff on Coreboot mailing list to make possible to allow the Alder Lake IGP to use CAR (Cache as RAM) for a temporal VGA textmode so that it an show early "life signs" via video. Most likely they are using that.
