The AMD 3rd Gen Ryzen Deep Dive Review: 3700X and 3900X Raising The Bar
by Andrei Frumusanu & Gavin Bonshor on July 7, 2019 9:00 AM EST** = Old results marked were performed with the original BIOS & boost behaviour as published on 7/7.
Gaming: Shadow of War
Next up is Middle-earth: Shadow of War, the sequel to Shadow of Mordor. Developed by Monolith, whose last hit was arguably F.E.A.R., Shadow of Mordor returned them to the spotlight with an innovative NPC rival generation and interaction system called the Nemesis System, along with a storyline based on J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium, and making it work on a highly modified engine that originally powered F.E.A.R. in 2005.
Using the new LithTech Firebird engine, Shadow of War improves on the detail and complexity, and with free add-on high-resolution texture packs, offers itself as a good example of getting the most graphics out of an engine that may not be bleeding edge. Shadow of War also supports HDR (HDR10).

Yes. The integrated memory controller is on the IO die, which is part of the Ryzen SoC, not the chipset.BushLin - Monday, July 8, 2019 - link
Right now, there's no indication what CL / timings are applied to all the other systems. CL16 is indeed bottom of the barrel for DDR-3200, you would hope there's no shenanigans with Intel getting CL12 DDR-2666. Why not just run all the systems with the same DDR-3200, it's not like they can't do it.profiaudi - Wednesday, July 10, 2019 - link
Not to be too rude, but the IMC is on the io chipLet, not the chipSet. The chipset actually has an important role for the memory speed, in that a chipset defines a platform and a platform imposes requirements on the power supply and trace routing. While the IMC in 3rd gen can handle 3200MT/s+ completely fine, it is guaranteed to do so only one X570. Anything older is a dice roll as the boards were not designed for such speeds (not a requirement for the older platform).waja - Tuesday, July 23, 2019 - link
Do you know george stevenson story?He earn 3657$ every month at home just working few hours on internet see more by open this connection and click home button.FOR MORE INFORMATION COPY THIS SITE.......... www.online-3.comAndrei Frumusanu - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
Just as note for those who haven’t been following: This review wasn’t written by our usual resident CPU editor, Dr Ian Cutress as he unfortunately the timing didn’t work out. We only had a few days time with the new Ryzen CPUs, as such, you might noticed a few bits and pieces missing in our article that we’ll try to address in the next hours and days. We’ll be trying to update the piece with more information and data as soon as we can. Thanks.Also huge thanks to Gavin Bonshor who actually did all the testing and collected all the data for this review, thumb up to him.

hoping a speedy recovery for him! loved his video with Wendell!loving the article, too. don't suppose you could test cross-CCX latency?

e.g. pcper.com/2017/06/the-intel-core-i9-7900x-10-core-skylake-x-processor-review/3/main interest is if it is low enough to be harnessed by RPCS3 (PS3 emulator)

CCX benchmarks would be nice.IF power benchmarks were also done last time and probably in the works.

Are Intel results with or without spectre et al mitigations?Ryan Smith - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
They are with Spectre and Meltdown mitigations. They are not new enough results to include anything for Fallout/ZombieLoad.
