    Great Scott! :D @ajc9988

    every time i read a ryzen review article i was actually thinking about your predictions in terms of AMD performance, and in the end you were right! ;) exciting times in cpu land :)

    I don't know if you read my predictions of 7nm and beyond... but tomorrow should give a clearer timeline for time to 7nm for AMD, the 20% jump in IPC to catch up to Skylake-X (or give clearer predictive abilities after computex on where things will be with that and CL-X relative to Ryzen 2 and 3), etc. Give me a couple months and I can give a good prediction through 2019...

    So nowadays I've been finding that you people and your fancy finfet Pascal cards beat my poor 980 in every way, except one....

    Power draw!

    upload_2017-5-15_22-54-1.png

    Try to beat 283W. I bet you can't! Your Pascal cores are too small and your voltages too low!

    I think i have managed 297W, but that was super duper while back. So cant track that screenshot down :p

    Same here. But it would be nice seeing Pascal mobile up there :vbbiggrin: Or +250-260w :bigyes:

    @jaybee83
    @Scerate

    Firstly thanks for the assistance people, and congrats on the letters after your name Jaybee83!

    "Posted earlier about some crazy throttling on a p750dm-g when both the CPU & GPU are loaded. Thanks to a magical person, from a magical land the bios on this unit has magicly unlocked (with the EC also magically updated). Tis so nice having more control!

    Ironically switching on intel speedshift via Throttlestop mitigates the worst of the cpu throttling (worst being down to a 10x multiplier with Heaven running with 0 additional load on the cpu) - anyone have any idea why this would be the case as it doesn't make a lot of sense to me..? @ 4.5k (adaptive & +55 offset) with TS 1024mb bench running + Heaven it will operate in the 4.1 - 4.3 range"


    Hopefully all useful properties & values are as below

    p75xxDM-g
    Bios version: 1.05.09pm v1.3
    EC version: 1.05.03pm
    CPU I5-6600k
    GPU: 880m

    Clock: 4.5
    Cache ratio: 39
    voltage type: adaptive
    Core Offset: +56
    Cache offset: 0
    SA offset: 0

    Power limits: 99999/99999
    PP0 current limit (set in TS): 1023
    PSYS Pmax current 5000
    SA Current: 5000
    Core/IA Current: 5000
    Ring current: 5000

    voltage under load (cinebench): 1.25xx

    Cstates: off (on/off makes no difference)
    RSR: off
    No throttle reasons in TS
    No throttle reasons in HW
    No Throttle reasons in XTU (got desperate and installed it..)

    whats the behaviour like during cpu&gpu load? do some logging with hwinfo64 and post screenshots here.

    Looks like a software/OS induced throttle or just regular speed-step behavior during lower loads. Make all settings in BIOS and use TS only to fix the Turbo Multi to 4.5Ghz if you want the clocks to be consistent.

    Please report your problem in the Hwinfo forum Make a post.
    Make sure you can tell about what's wrong + post your Laptop hardware and brand. Thanks :vbthumbsup:

    I have seen Hwinfo had a problematic version, I think it was in 2014(used with RTSS with my AW17 and it crashed my machine). But was fixed right after. But not common as you said.

    @jaybee83 - for you
    http://www.fudzilla.com/news/processors/43676-amd-just-announced-zen-2
    http://wccftech.com/amd-zen-2-zen-3-7nm-cpu-architecture-details/
    So, AMD mentioned that it has plans for a 14nm+ process, a 7nm process for Zen 2, then a 7nm+ process for Zen 3 by 2020 on their roadmap. GloFo is taking customer designs for 7nm chips in the second half of this year, risk production starts first half of 2018.
    They are predicting Intel levels of IPC growth of 5-15% improvement.

    My prediction: When they said 20% for Zen+, they were meaning the 14nm+ design. The 14nm+ process is what is planned for first half through Q3 of 2018. This will erase all gap between Skylake (and possibly Kaby) and Ryzen's successor if they meet or beat the 20% promise for Zen+. Intel counter's with CL and says we are so great, but the gap is less than Ryzen and Kaby or TR and SL-X. Then comes the move in Q4 2018 to 1H 2019 to 7nm Zen (could be earlier by a couple quarters, but I'm not over rushing them nor Intel). Intel counter's with Icelake at 10nm+ with FIVR. Doesn't matter because with the IPC and core count AMD overtakes the field. Intel still has better logic density at the 10nm node and is at 10nm+ process at this point, which still does not outperform coffeelake, but is more dense because smaller node. So, 2020, you square off Tiger, the 10nm++ beast against the 7nm+ Zen 3 beast. Seriously, need I say more. This confirms my prior prediction (most likely). Enjoy!

    Edit:
    Hence why I said Coffee is a good sit and wait buy this fall for mainstream!!!

    5.5 would be da bomb. @Prema predicted it could/would happen on KBL, but who's gonna do it...? cmon john, dont let us down! @Johnksss@iBUYPOWER ;)

    @ajc9988 two points im currently amazed about: first being the sudden and very apparent pressure intel is under after the release of zen, speeding up release cycles and bumping specs on upcomings cpus. and second, the return for my money invested in this machine: this is currently my third(!) brand new machine ive received inside warranty at no extra cost to my original P751ZM purchase *rofl*. and i still have over 20 months warranty left, mind you...

    I have been eyeing 5.5 more than 5.4 just to beat him for once.

    yeah, its like you fiddle and tweak around for weeks and months in order to beat him, then he goes like: oh! gimme a sec...bam, 5.6 ghz *lol* now go play, kids, and let the grown-ups do their thing, nkay?

    have u even seen 5.5 on your screen yet? if so, that would already be quite a feat!

    Desktop users get rekt by @D2 Ultima . Nicely done :)

    Meanwhile, still scrubbing here with ~ 4600 Fire Strike with a GPU that's probably going to be outdone by a Vega iGPU from AMD later this year... Sigh.

    Some unexpected progress has been made having uninstalled CC, reset the EC, reInstalled CC and cycled through the power modes in CC... it now seems to be holding the cpu clock when the GPU is loaded.

    Am i expecting too much in regards to being able to hold 4.5ghz whist both the CPU & GPU are under 100% load? I feel like a moron asking that question, as the haswell mobiles ive dealt with in the past dont seem to have any issue in that regard. My only experience with desktop cpu's for quite some time is an i5-750 which ive had at 4.2ghz since 2010

    Thanks people

    Looks like the stock firmware had to be flushed out of existence... :)

    With the mod there is no forceful limitation in place at such levels as long as temps don't exceed safety limits.

    Yeah, never that. Notebooks are cool and all, but a desktop is worth far more bot points in the end. Way to many parts can be benched off of just one or two base setups. And that is what you need to gain many hard points to gain rank. Although it takes far longer to lose your laptop hardware points. There is more to all that, but you get the idea. :)
    Maybe.... I didn't jump this time because it was only like 2 or 3 test I would have gained very minimal results in, so I just stayed with the 5960X. Debating on testing some TI's now that they are readily available, but I think I'll still wait.

    I was meaning the threadripper or SK-X, if either overclock well. BW-E was shiite, but skylake seemed to overclock well and they used the 14nm+ process that was used for Kaby to make SK-X, so the numbers on LN2 might be really nice! TR is more for heavy multithreaded benches, but we'll know better in a couple months on those...

    Also, now that micron showed the 12 and 14gbps GDDR6 this year, the rumors on Volta XX80 aren't as far fetched to fight Vega, coming in August...

    True, but I buy to bench, not to play games or run intensive imaging software so I'll wait and see what some of the heavy hitters think about it. Just because it looks good on paper does not mean it's good out in the wilds beyond a certain point. At least that's my line of thinking anyway. So I wait to see what my other team members have to say, then make a judgement call from there.

    Side note:
    For the record I'm side playing on the Xboxone, Destiny. And On the PC it's GTA5.
    I need to go play with Brother @Mr. Fox on Diablo
