News AMD Details Tweaks Behind Recent Memory Overclocking Improvements

[Admin]

AMD AGESA 1.0.0.7b packs in some serious memory improvements that allow Ryzen 7000 CPUs to hit well over 8000MHz on DDR5. AMD shows us what it has done to make these enhancements possible.

I wonder what these DDR9000 speeds would do for the iGPU on the G series.

Clearly no need to buy expensive overclocked memory if it can't be run at 1:1:1:.

Right, that's the only thing it could help in the short term, a Phoenix desktop APU. Maybe announced in August. Then later Zen 5 chips could actually use speeds around these without a penalty.

I mean, you can already game on the iGPU. I got 14.5 FPS @ 900p with Quality upscaling on Jedi: Survivor. And more useful frame rates on older games like Forza Horizon 3 and Portal 2. Don't know exactly how much the OC of my RAM helped vs. the OC of the iGPU core, but they both seemed to contribute.

If your using an iGPU for your graphics, I would think it would be a waste to use very high performance/Very Expensive RAM. If you are tight on money, a cheap video card and lower end RAM would seem a better choice. But then again, maybe its a specialty computer with no room for a video card. If that's the case, go for it!
I am glad to see AMD fixing issues. It's good for everyone.

Most of the time you are going to be memory bandwidth constrained in an iGPU situation. If all of a sudden you can get 120GB/s memory bandwidth to your iGPU you could have a situation where the GPU cores aren't being starved for bandwidth anymore and in theory better than RX 560 performance.
