V-COLOR Intros EXPO OC RDIMM Memory Octo-kits for AMD Threadripper 7000 WRX90 Workstations

V-COLOR today introduced a series of overclocking memory RDIMM kits for workstations powered by AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000WX processors on the WRX90 platform that features 8-channel DDR5 memory. The kits include 8 RDIMMs, with densities ranging between 16 GB per RDIMM (128 GB per kit), to 96 GB per RDIMM (768 GB per kit); and comes in speeds ranging between DDR5-5600 and DDR5-7200. The best part? These modules feature AMD EXPO profiles, which should make enabling their advertised speeds as easy as a couple of clicks in the motherboard's UEFI setup program.

An EXPO profile not just applies the kit's memory speed, timings, and voltages, but also several sub-timings and settings that are specific to the AMD platform, which are not found on Intel. V-COLOR has tested its overclocking RDIMMs on popular AMD WRX90 chipset motherboards, namely the ASRock WRX90 WS EVO, ASUS PRO WS WRX90E-SAGE SE, and certain unreleased WRX90 workstation motherboards by Supermicro. Although the RDIMMs lack heatspreaders for the DRAM chips, V-COLOR is including what it calls "micro heatsinks" for the PMIC and RCDs. The RCD in particular is crucial to get Threadrippers to operate at speeds such as DDR5-7200. The kits should be available starting today, with all models available from mid-March. The company didn't reveal pricing.

AMD to Address "Bugged" Limited Overclocking on Radeon RX 7900 GRE GPU

TechPowerUp's resident GPU reviewer extraordinaire—W1zzard—has grappled with a handful of custom design AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE 16 GB models. Team Red and its board partners are pushing a proper/widespread Western release of the formerly China market-exclusive "Golden Rabbit Edition" GPU. TPU's initial review selection of three Sapphire cards and a lone ASRock Steel Legend OC variant garnered two Editor's Choice Awards, and two Highly Recommended badges. Sapphire's Radeon RX 7900 GRE Nitro+ was also honored with a "...But Expensive" tag, due to its MSRP of $600—the premium tier design was one of last year's launch day models in China. Western reviewers have latched onto a notable GRE overclocking limitation—all of TPU's review samples were found to have "overclocking artificially limited by AMD." Steve Walton of Hardware Unboxed has investigated whether the GRE's inherent heavily limited power specification was less of an issue on Sapphire's Nitro+ variant—check out his "re-re-review" video below.

The higher board power design—305 W OC TGP limit and 351 W total board power—is expected to exhibit "up to 10% higher performance than Radeon RX 7800 XT" according to VideoCardz, but falls short. TPU's W1zzard found the GRE Nitro+ card's maximum configurable clock of 2803 MHz: "Overclocking worked quite well on our card, we gained over 8% in real-life performance, which is well above what we usually see, but less than other GRE cards tested today. Sapphire's factory OC eats into OC potential, and maximizes performance out of the box instead. Unfortunately AMD restricted overclocking on their card quite a lot, probably to protect sales of the RX 7900 XT. While NVIDIA doesn't have any artificial limitations for overclockers, AMD keeps limiting the slider lengths for many models, this is not a gamer-friendly approach. For the GRE, both GPU and memory overclocking could definitely go higher based on the results that we've seen in our reviews today." An AMD representative has contacted Hardware Unboxed, in reaction to yesterday's Update review—the GRE's overclocking limitation is a "bug," and a fix is in the works. This situation is a bit odd, given that the Golden Rabbit Edition is not a brand-new product.

ASRock Rack Offers World's Smallest NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchip Server, Other Innovations at MWC 2024

ASRock Rack is a subsidiary of ASRock that deals with servers, workstations, and other data-center hardware, and comes with the enormous brand trust not just of ASRock, but also the firm hand of parent company and OEM giant Pegatron. At the 2024 Mobile World Congress, ASRock Rack introduced several new server innovations relevant to the AI Edge, and 5G cellular carrier industries. A star attraction here is the new ASRock Rack MECAI-GH200, claimed to be the world's smallest server powered by the NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip.

The ASRock Rack MECAI-GH200 executes one of NVIDIA's original design goals behind the Grace Hopper Superchip—AI deployments in an edge environment. The GH200 module combines an NVIDIA Grace CPU with a Hopper AI GPU, and a performance-optimized NVLink interconnect between them. The CPU features 72 Arm Neoverse V2 cores, and 480 GB of LPDDR5X memory; while the Hopper GPU has 132 SM with 528 Tensor cores, and 96 GB of HBM3 memory across a 6144-bit memory interface. Given that the newer HBM3e version of the GH200 won't come out before Q2-2024, this has to be the version with HBM3. What makes the MECAI-GH200 the world's smallest server with the GH200 has to be its compact 2U form-factor—competing solutions tend to be 3U or larger.

ASRock Dives Into Why it Lacks NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Cards; Doesn't Rule Out Making Them in the Future

ASRock, ODM giant Pegatron's retail channel brand, built its reputation over its high cost/performance motherboards, and got into graphics cards rather recently (less than 5 years ago), beginning with AMD Radeon graphics cards, before expanding into Intel Arc GPUs. The company has shown with its high-end AMD Radeon cards that it can design complex custom-design graphics cards with heavy cooling solutions, especially given that AMD Radeon boards tend to have more elaborate power designs than NVIDIA. So then, where are the ASRock GeForce RTX graphics cards? Korean tech publication QuasarZone set to find out from ASRock.

Put simply, ASRock does not rule out making custom design GeForce RTX graphics cards in the future, but says that getting into that market right now, is "challenging." NVIDIA now commands the vast majority of discrete GPU market, and as such most of the top DIY PC retail channel brands (such as ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE), sell both GeForce and Radeon products. They started making GeForce graphics cards decades ago, and have built market presence over the years. NVIDIA also has a set of board partners that exclusively sell GeForce—such as PNY, Palit-Gainward, Galax-KFA2, and Colorful, which make it all the more tough for ASRock to break in. On the specific question asked by Quasar Zone, here was ASRock's answer (machine translated to English by VideoCardz).

AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT Pricing Slides to Below its $500 MSRP, RX 7700 XT Below $440

With the introduction of the new GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER at $599, prices of the regular GeForce RTX 4070 are on a downward trend, below even its $549 NVIDIA MSRP, and can be frequently found for as low as $534. This is applying pressure on the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, which had originally debuted at $499, with custom design cards originally retailing for upward of $530. The availability of RTX 4070 around that price range has pushed some of these custom RX 7800 XT to below the $500, or down to the AMD MSRP of $499. One such example is the Gigabyte RX 7800 XT Gaming OC, which can be had bang on the AMD MSRP.

This has also had a cascading effect on the pricing of the Radeon RX 7700 XT, with custom design cards frequently trending below the company's $450 MSRP for this SKU. Gigabyte's RX 7700 XT Gaming OC is listed on Newegg for $439, while several other custom designs, such as the Sapphire Pulse, ASRock Challenger, and PowerColor Fighter are listed on the $449 MSRP—they were originally selling for around $470. Both the RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT are recommended by AMD for 1440p maxed out AAA gaming, and compete directly with the RTX 4070 series. The RX 7800 XT beats the RTX 4070, while the RX 7700 XT isn't too far behind it, while being significantly ahead of the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB in performance.

AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT Launches with a Large 16 GB Memory

AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT went on sale today, at a starting price of $330. Designed for maxed out AAA gameplay at 1080p, this card can try its hands with 1440p gaming, at mid-thru-high settings; you can use features such as FSR 2, FSR 3 Frame Generation, the AMD Fluid Motion Frames feature that extends frame generation to any DirectX 11/12 game; as well as the HyperRX one-click performance enhancement that's part of the AMD Software control panel app. AMD had already maxed out all available shaders on the 6 nm "Navi 33" monolithic silicon, but has opted not to rope in the larger "Navi 32" chiplet GPU for the RX 7600 XT. Instead, it attempted to squeeze out the most performance possible from the "Navi 33," by dialing up clock speeds, power limits, and doubling the memory size.

You still get 32 compute units on the RX 7600 XT, which are worth 2,048 stream processors, 64 AI accelerators, 32 Ray accelerators, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, but the 128-bit GDDR6 memory bus now drives 16 GB of memory running at the same 18 Gbps speed, yielding 288 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU game clock has been increased to 2.47 GHz, up from 2.25 GHz on the RX 7600. The power limit has been increased from 165 W to 190 W on the RX 7600 XT; and implementing DisplayPort 2.1 has been made mandatory for board partners (they can't opt for the DisplayPort 1.4a like they could on the RX 7600). AMD claims that the 16 GB of video memory should come in handy for content creators, and those dabbling with generative AI.

We have three reviews of the Radeon RX 7600 XT for you today, so be sure to check them all out.

AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE - More Custom Models Emerge at European E-tailers

AMD unveiled its Golden Rabbit Edition (GRE) Radeon RX 7900 GPU last summer—this Navi 31 XL-based card was first launched in China, with only a handful of customized options and a reference model (produced by XFX) available at the starting line. It later emerged that Team Red's special SKU (celebrating the Year of the Rabbit) would be heading West; by Autumn-time, system integrators in Europe started to sell full PC systems outfitted with Radeon RX 7900 GRE graphics cards. By late 2023, a small smattering of board partner versions hit the European market in proper retail form—you no longer had to shell out €1500+ for a pre-built system in order to gain access to an exclusive model. Team Red's almost parallel launch of its Radeon RX 7800 XT GPU has overshadowed the slightly more powerful RDNA 3 model's limited release.

VideoCardz has received tips about price cuts affecting certain Radeon RX 7900 GRE models, and a new retail entry for an ASRock custom design. AMD has started to adjust its pricing at the higher mid-tier and flagship GPU level, in reaction to NVIDIA rolling out GeForce RTX 40 SUPER cards this month. This initiative has affected the Radeon RX 7900 GRE as well, despite its very restricted availability in Western markets. The article points to an example of the reference design with its price falling by ~€60 (over a two month period)—Italy's PSK Mega Store's offer currently sits at €542.66. The lowest price in Spanish and German markets appears to be €579—CoolMod Espagna has Sapphire's Pulse Radeon RX 7900 GRE Gaming OC 16 GB card listed at €579.95; it also qualifies for the AVATAR: Frontiers of Pandora promotion. Mindfactory DE lists a mysterious ASRock Radeon RX 7900 GRE Challenger 16 GB OC Edition model (SKU 90-GA52ZZ-00UANF), ready to purchase and ship out immediately at €579. Photos of this twin-fan custom model can be viewed at Skinflint UK.

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT Drops to $710 on Newegg, MSRP Lowered to $749

AMD has lowered the official MSRP of the Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics card to $749, down from its launch price of $899. Its street price, as TweakTown found out, is lower still, with certain custom-design RX 7900 XT cards selling for as low as $710 on Newegg. At this price, the RX 7900 XT is set up for a major clash with certain overclocked NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER graphics cards, leftover inventories of the recently retired GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, and probably even looks to soak up some sales before the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER hits the scene on January 24. The cheapest RX 7900 XT is actually one of the better-appointed custom designs out there, the ASRock RX 7900 XT Phantom Gaming and XFX RX 7900 XT Merc 319, which had originally launched at prices comparable to the PowerColor Hellhound. These are followed by the PowerColor RX 7900 XT Hellhound and Sapphire RX 7900 XT Pulse OC at $720.

The Radeon RX 7900 XT is a very capable high-end GPU that AMD categorizes as capable of 4K Ultra HD gaming with settings maxed out. It's carved out from the "Navi 31" chiplet GPU, and configured with 84 RDNA3 compute units, worth 5,376 stream processors, 168 AI accelerators, 84 Ray accelerators, 336 TMUs, and 192 ROPs. The best part about this card is its memory sub-system, with 80 MB of Infinity Cache, and 20 GB of 20 Gbps GDDR6 memory across a 320-bit wide memory bus with 800 GB/s of bandwidth on tap, which should come in handy at 4K, or when using creator or AI applications.

Graph Provides Valuable Insights to Ryzen User Upgrade Patterns Based on AMD Chipset Sales Share

Market research by Korean publication Danawa DPG provides valuable insights to how desktop AMD Ryzen processor users are charting their upgrade paths given the long upgrade longevity of AMD sockets. The research follows a 10-month date range from December 2022 to October 2023, and tracks the sales of motherboards based on various AMD chipset models. We're shown that toward the turn of the year, AMD B550 chipset motherboards sell the most. This is when AMD Ryzen 5000 Socket AM4 processors top sales for the company, Given that the B550 fully supports CPU overclocking, and that there are plenty of feature-packed B550 motherboard models, it explains why the B550 covers a wide price-band.

AMD launched the Ryzen 7000 series "Zen 4" to lukewarm response in September 2022, mainly because the platform lacked DDR4 memory support that was relevant at the time, and hence wasn't as flexible to consumers as Intel's LGA1700. Its launch caused price-cuts for Ryzen 5000 series processors, clearing out some upgrade headroom for those on the AM4 platform still using Ryzen 3000. Off to a slow start, we see its successor from Socket AM5, the B650 chipset, rise steadily over the time period, and for two reasons—DDR5 memory became affordable over the course of 2023; and AMD breathed life into the Ryzen 7000 series with the introduction of the Ryzen 7000X3D series, which restored gaming performance competitiveness to Intel's 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake." The B650 has everything you need right now for a Ryzen 7000X3D build, given that both the GeForce RTX 40-series and Radeon RX 7000 series are PCIe Gen 4 graphics cards; and that the B650 has at least a Gen 5 NVMe slot. If you absolutely need a Gen 5 x16 slot, there's the premium B650E chipset to go with.
