RyZen 3000 Boost Issue: What's your take?

RyZen 3000 Boost Issue: What's your take?

  • AMD bad marketing at it again, false advertising and lies should not be tolerated.

  • AMD bad marketing alright, they need to inform consumer/media/reviewersbetter

  • It is fine, this is fine. I am OK with AMD advertising like that because I DON'T CARE

  • There should be MORE Advertising like this. Necessary evil is needed to beat Intel

  • MY BLOOD IS RED! SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY AMD

I know techpoweup did a review with smt off. I did my own testing. I found no difference in average single threaded benchmark scores. For example Cinebench r20 averaged 500 points with and without smt. Multithreaded performance suffered without smt though.

SMT is a nice featuer for sure.

Still trying to find a game that would scale the 16 thread cpu I have lol.

Only F@H gives me real world 16 thread scaling ( to my personal needs)

I'm terribly disappointed my chip does not stay at the advertised base clock. I'm not overclocking it and it has the cheek to run at 4.2Ghz on all 8 cores while playing PUBG (and giving me very constant fps). I'm outraged by this foolish boosting process. I mean - it has an advertised base of 3.6Ghz - so shouldn't it stay at that unless I overclock it? False advertising AMD: base clock should be what it says, not 16% higher.

Please apply sarcasm tags and let people figure out that the boost issue is a non-issue. My single core boost is 4.367 (that's 4.4Ghz in round-up language).

Don't you hate it when that happens?

AMD ... really ... the nerve ...

I don't think smt will be useful for gaming at this thread count for a long time. Smt is useful for other things

1.9% single threaded increase for an 18% decrease in multi-core throughput. Doesn't seem like a worthwhile tradeoff. I would run it another 2 time for each because you might find that the numbers are within error on the single-thread side.
I tried again a couple of more times and I'm not getting the bump on single thread.

All the multi thread scores are nnearly the same? Is SMT just off on all these screen shots anf if so in conparison to your first test then?
Yeah, I switched SMT off again to check the variation. Didn't know about the .01 update which is showing a higher single thread score though.

Yea thats something that makes a difference. A benchmark that updates and changes scoring is not really great for testing with imo.

Maybe try single thread cinebench or wprime or pimod something of that nature. Good known stable benchmarks.
