Probably not. This is also looking like a smoke and mirrors operation to distract from his insider trading some time ago when he sold off shares just before Intel announced the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities.

Wonder if he’d still have been retained if they were doing better on the CPU side.

It could be a face saving move, an affair is much less embarrassing than losing a 5 year lead in 5 years.

It's not insider trading or securities fraud in the eyes of the law. They did the same thing everyone else does, give adequate advance notice to sell the shares all the time even if you aren't really selling and then only actually do it if it benefits them. It was a legal thing to do, or at least it's assumed legal because it's widely abused by pretty much every person at that level.

Whether the government will step in and say "hey, it's not okay THIS time" even though they didn't the past few thousand times, who knows.

Do all Samsung B-die modules clock fast, or are these chips also binned? I've been looking for fast ECC DIMMs, and I've stumbled across ones from Samsung themselves having their B-dies. But the fastest DIMM of theirs is DDR4-2400 CL17, a far cry from DDR4-3200 CL14.

It's not a binning process, it's just validation of primary, secondary and tertiary memory timings. It just so happens that Samsung B-die can use some very aggressive timings with AMD Ryzen parts.

When you drop random memory kits into a motherboard, the motherboard checks its internal database to see if there is a validated memory timing that the motherboard vendor has determined to be "works best".

If there is a validated memory timing, the motherboard loads those timings. We find out if the motherboard has those timings by looking at the memory QVL.

If there is not a validated memory timing, the motherboard runs through algorithms and plugging in random values to obtain memory timings stable enough to boot. This is what happens with memory training.

As for ECC, the fact of the matter is that ECC will not overclock as easily or as high as non-ECC memory. ECC is made for stability.

There are some 16gb ecc b-die sticks that will stable oc to 2933 / 16? (or maybe 17). OCing with ECC RAM is kinda fun because you see a fountain of errors when you get too aggressive.

Buildzoid points out that (due to AMD's lack of an on-package FIVR), with the additional power draw from XFR2's auto-OC functionality (with XFR2, you pull roughly 150W per 8 cores, excluding chipset), TR2 will need twice as many phases as existing TR1 boards have, even to run at "stock" XFR2 settings. He thinks only the only board he's seen that will run it is the MEG Creation, and you need 10 phases minimum, realistically more like 12-16 phases, for non-AVX loads, and for peak efficiency you'll want more like 24 phases (which - used to be the norm for high-end boards until Intel put the FIVR on-chip).

James Pryor didn't watch the video but says he's totally wrong.

Internet drama :jerky:

(realistically they will probably just throttle on existing boards, not melt the board. Existing boards will probably be limited to 1.2 volts or less when running all-core loads under air, which is probably... 3.5 GHz? And less under AVX.)

The insane 28-phase VRM boards are pretty much what you're going to need for these halo chips. Or one of those Galax auxiliary extreme-OC power-supply boards, if you're Buildzoid.

It's loving stupid that ECC is not standard at this point given the existence of Rowhammer exploits that can literally be run from the web. On top of that, yes, super useful for OC'ing because the memory will literally tell you when it's starting to poo poo itself.

TR and certain pre-Broadwell Xeons have a unique trait here.

:shrug:

The boost algorithms (iirc XFR2 communicates with the motherboard to get information about VRM capabilities) and hidden on-die sensors are already good enough that you'd have to be crazy to manually overclock a TR2 CPU other than for the sake of benchmark highscores.

There may be people out there that would trade an additional 15% performance boost spread over 64 threads for a 150% power consumption increase but I can't imagine that there are many of them. The whole point of these super high core count CPUs is to run them at or below their perf/watt sweet spot, of course they're going to produce dumb numbers if you apply 6-8C standards to them, see Intel's 5 GHz chiller demo.

This power phase bullshit pretty much just applies to the 24C and 32C variants, right? Who the gently caress cares about these? Only professionals and PCMR retards will realistically get those, former because of need and latter because of bragging rights. And only latter will overclock these, so not sure why anyone cares. Price will prevent prosumers from buying them.

The 32C one tickles me for all the casual VM and compiling bullshit, but as said, price is a barrier. Also, the double bandwidth between dies goes away with that one. Which I assume will have an effect on inter-die latencies.

Not yet. Probably twice the 16C version. Maybe a little less, either as a gently caress you to Intel, or because there's a chance the bins on it might be a little worse, with what the official base and boost clocks being lower than the 16C version.

Do Zen chips actually have appreciably higher power use on AVX loads? I figured the power draw would be similar to SSE since Zen has half-rate AVX ops.

Any last-minute advice before I attempt to fix a few crooked pins on my Ryzen CPU? I値l be very careful, but more than that is needed when a 100% success rate is required.

I値l be wiggling a toiny flat iFixit screwdriver to bring them upright, then I値l use a rolled out boxcutter to align them properly. Still don稚 know whether, when nor how they might break though.

It would be nice if there was a frame that swung down over the top like LGA. Doesn't have to be a precisely tensioned doohickey like LGA, since the ZIF socket makes contact with pins, just something to keep it from getting yanked out by the cooler.

I just moved back from Europe to Australia, but I managed to leave the part of my motherboard that the cooler screws onto behind. I've currently got my computer set up open air on top of the motherboard box with the cooler simply held down by gravity. The temperatures are actually quite good, hitting about 30C at idle.

Should I even bother asking ASRock if they can send me a replacement? What other options are there?

My guess is that ASRock will send you the part for a small cost, plus silly shipping. Likely still cheaper than a new cooler.
