What's the difference

What's the difference

Was wondering the same thing myself? More price?

[AbortRetryFail?]

What's the difference

Best I can tell is cherry-picked silicon, enhanced encryption/security and remote management.

And, $$$, of course.


They seem to have vendors lined-up. I'm thinking the queue for the first, fancy Raven Ridge APUs starts here, too ...

[Metroid]

What about the smt? Did they fix it?

[Mk]

I mean.. Ryzen does have ECC enabled and I think it also does have AES encryption dedicated I'm not sure its 128 bit though, how much is the price premium for the other stuff that 99% of the time I won't use?

No IGP with Ryzen pro

I wonder if they will release a pro chipset/mobo line

[Metroid]

So no reply to my question, so it means ryzen v1 owners still have a broken cpu.

Dude I don't think anyone else is experiencing anything wrong with SMT... Maybe its your motherboard? BIOS? did you try to RMA?

They found out their Ryzen cpus where under priced, so the best way to get more money out is by naming them Pro
I might be wrong unless someone can point us to the difference between the nornal and the new pro

Here:

"A superset to the standard Ryzen chips, the PRO chips have the same feature set as other Ryzen devices, but also offer enhanced security, 24 months availability, a longer warranty and promise to feature better chip quality."

You should probably check the reviews then cause if you dont think smt is broken on ryzen then you might have built your own ryzen cpu with your own beliefs, mind and faith are a powerful thing.

I was about to buy around 15 ryzen cpus on day one then I checked the reviews, saw how broken the smt was then gave up, now hoping amd will do something about it on the next iteration.

Um i think it was sorted out quite a while ago.

The only real issue with ryzen is ccx latency but that is just the way it was designed.

[kromosto]

ccx latency is the thing that made me decide not to get a ryzen . Had my high expectations on ryzen but it even cat force intel to make a good price cut.

[Mk]

ccx latency is good with 3200Mhz+ RAM speed.
honestly I dont get whats bad or disappointing and Ryzen and, I can't wait for threadripper.
I meas intel 8 core for 599$ and 6 core for 390$? if you don't like Ryzen you should be happy its giving intel some competition we would not dream of those prices if not for Zen cores and AMD, my next build I'm almost sure its going to be Ryzen or Threadripper.

Here is SMT off and on for you.

[JPQY]

@chew* ,can you do the same with my little Chess bench..link in signature,Thanks!

My system is running prime like 24/7. Dialing in settings for endusers. I just ran that off between boots working on 3466 settings. Its back running prime again.
