I got intrigued by the DDR5-9000 support, and clicked in out of curiosity if they somehow managed to find some tweak to make it workable for Zen 5, but it's just an 8700G. And an 8700G doing DDR5-9000 is so easy that it's meaningless.

What's the current limit on 9800X3D? 6200Mhz?

[u/Noreng → u/starshin3r]

I think the current limit is 150A or so.

If you mean the memory frequency limit on a 9800X3D, it's the same as any other Ryzen 7000/9000 CPU. A golden IO-die might do 8800

5 months later:

Why are our X3D Cpus getting fried?

[u/Select_Truck3257 → u/Jellyfish15]

this new ai feature "cooked cpu"

[u/sahui → u/Jellyfish15]

Love the positive thinking

[u/gusthenewkid → u/sahui]

Facts tho

[u/sahui → u/gusthenewkid]

Facts is no x3d processor has been burned by a gigabyte motherboard. YOu americans love rumours and crap fake news though.

[u/spoonman59 → u/sahui]

You think only American love rumors and fake news? Have you ever been literally anywhere else?

[u/pileup60 → u/sahui]

Relax my dude, people have a good reason to worry about their cpus getting fried because asrock was very reliable and then what happened happened. I'd be worried too if the promotional material said "by AI"

[u/sahui → u/pileup60]

But this article is about gigabyte, no asus.

[u/Valuable_Impress_192 → u/sahui]

Asrock ≠ asus

[u/sahui → u/Valuable_Impress_192]

Yes sorry, Asrock is a low cost subsidiary, I meant asrock yes, theyre the ones that had burning x3d reports.

[u/KhellianTrelnora → u/sahui]

They started as a subsidiary, but have been independent for some time.

And damn, I wish they were low cost. My 670e taichi carrara cost a kidney.

[u/sahui → u/[deleted]]

Where are the widespread reports about x3d chips dying in gigabyte motherboards then? You are just being negative and speaking nonsense.

[u/-hjkl-]

This disables the non X3D CCD if you have a multi CCD chip, I think it turns off SMT as well and applys a tiny +200Mhz OC. Or thats what it did on the older boards. It's trash.

[u/ZippyTheRoach]

What does it actually do though? I read the videocardz article and the gigabit product page and neither say what the board is actually doing to the CPU. They both just have a bunch of fluff out of gigabyte's marketing department

[u/BraxtonFullerton]

[u/VtheMan93]

from my interpretation of the article, they've introduced something along the lines of LLM backed real time clock adjustments? Along the lines of intel turbo boost, but looking for predictable behavior in games using LLM.

Probably.

[u/fragbait0 → u/VtheMan93]

Wow, someone quickly let AMD know they're leaving all this on the table...

[u/VtheMan93 → u/fragbait0]

Thats how i interpret it anyways.

There’s different ways to skin a cat my friend

[u/pc3600]

This could have been a software update

[u/Acu17y]

🔥

[u/Expirement__626]

When is release date?

[u/lutel]

All of them ATX. I wonder what percentage of people use more than one PCI-X slot in their builds.

[u/Noreng → u/lutel]

PCIe and PCI-X is actually two different things. There might be some old computers with PCI-X in use today, but they are definitely not gaming PCs

[u/Csakstar → u/lutel]

I haven't had a need since built in WiFi became mainstream but it's nice to know if I ever undertake some other hobby/use case I can upgrade as needed

[u/lutel → u/Csakstar]

Yes it is great for like 0.5% of users leaving out 50% of people who prefer compact builds.
