Crosshair VI Hero: agesa 1004 vs 1006 in HWBOT tests
As AMD enthusiast, Im interesting for change in BIOS/agesa. I thought, the best for me as benchmarker will be 1002 BIOS and I was opponent of new BIOSes. Why? Because at Superpi depends J. But after relase new beta with full unlock all first and secondary timings and drivings I was more and more curious...
So, what about compare old good classic BIOS 1002 with agesa 1004 vs new BETA BIOS 9943 with agesa 1006? Lets do itJ. I did comparison in HWBOT benchmarks, which is most interesting for me and maybe for few other guys (Im sure, for real apllications will be new BIOS better).
I tested at Crosshair VI Formula, Windows 7 64-bit with CPU Ryzen 5 1500X and Gskill TridentZ 2x 4 GB memory. These kits are E-die. I set CPU at 3986 MHz (fluctuation to 3987 MHz) and memory at 2932 MHz effective with timings 12-16-16 in first case (BIOS 1002). Others doesnt change, its automatic. Also I tried BIOS settings ?performance BIAS?.
In second I cant post with same memory divider, so clock in second testing was 3990 MHz and memory 2946 MHz timings 12-16-16 + auto settings also. The small difference in CPU/memory clock is 4 MHz, so in theory results could be inaccurately in tenth second in Superpi.
In all cases the process of benchmark was set to very high. And for Superpi I did two results, because with Ryzen and prediction function seems second run always much better.
As you can see, performance BIAS working solid for AIDA/ Geekbench with both BIOSes. ?Cinebench R11.5 BIAS? works best with both Cinebenchs R11+R15 and for wprime 1024M also. But is all the times not good with Superpi runs. ?Cinebench R15 BIAS? seems very good for Superpi 32M and not bad also for Cinebench. Performance ?AUTO BIAS? seems good only for Superpi 32M.
My recommendation are:
Superpi 32M = use Cinebench R15 BIAS or AUTO settings of performance BIAS
Wprime 1024M = use settings ?Cinebench R11.5 BIAS? , difference are not big in others cases
Cinebench R11.5 = use settings ?Cinebench R11.5 performance BIAS?
Cinebench R15 = use settings ?Cinebench R11.5 performance BIAS?, u can more play with ?Cinebench R15 performance BIAS?, if you will be more lucky than me...
Geekbench = use settinngs ?AIDA/Geekbench performance BIAS?
AIDA 64 = in average the best is again ?AIDA/Geekbench performance BIAS?
Now back to the table with all results. New BIOS 9943 brings small impact of performance, include also Superpi 32M. So dont worry and if you are HWBOT overler, flash your BIOS :-) And of course, now you have more manually tweakings to improve again the score with the same settings.

And with beta 9943+1006 agesa
And Superpi 32M from table of results:
PS:now you can easy to do tighter tRAS, TRC subtimings and many more in BIOS!
