AMD statement on Ryzen 3000 boost clocks

We wrote earlier this week about the findings of the Der8auer overclocker that AMD's new Ryzen 3000 chips were very low. Now, AMD has released a statement on the clock speeds of its chips and promises a BIOS update soon.

AMD's statement said it was pleased with the momentum of the third generation of Ryzen processors, but was watching the community's reactions closely.

"We understand that some members of the 3rd generation AMD Ryzen users report accelerated clock speeds below the expected CPU optimization rate, "the statement said. "Although the frequency of processor growth depends on many variables … we have looked closely at our customers' comments and have identified a problem in our firmware that reduces the frequency of increase in some situations."

AMD has a BIOS update in preparation

The company is currently preparing an update for AMD motherboards, which will be addressed first to motherboard manufacturers. We can hope to have more information on the availability of the update on September 10th. AMD's statement is as conservative as expected from a large company; The results of Der8auer showed that only 5.6% of users reached boosted clocks, which is far from "some users". Even if these results are wrong. way off, it still means that a vast majority of users see suboptimal acceleration speeds.

Der8auer's report was overwhelming, but it was not the only one. Sites like Tom's Hardware have also struggled with chips. For example, AMD claims that a single core of its Ryzen 3000 processors will reach the promised reminder clock speed at a time.

Getting the full potential of AMD 3rd generation Ryzen processors also has some other needs. In addition to the latest BIOS and drivers, you must also use the latest version of Windows 10 to use the Ryzen Planner if you want to achieve these optimal speeds.

Those of us who have spent a good penny on AMD's high-end processors should see the update help us get the most out of our chips. And then it will be up to eagle enthusiasts to push the chip to its limits and see if the update works or not.
