Get the most out of your processor with this motherboard's Turbo Mode

I really can't be bothered to go and find what I'm sure was another *straight from the press release* article they wrote on the newest gen x3d AMD processors.

Anyone who suggests users turn off the x3d's "second CCD chip" is telling you to run their Ryzen 7 7800x3d as a 4c/8t with 32MB of cache has either completely given up, or is suffering from a traumatic brain injury. It's gotta be the brain injury, right? They're telling people to turn their $600 ryzen 9 9800x3d into a 6c/12t with only 32MB of L3 cache.

The reason this "improves" performance is solely due to many games being optimized to run on very few (or a single) core, and the non-x3d CCD chip being able to overclock much higher than the CCD with all that expensive L3 cache you just paid extra for. So those single/two/four core optimized games get a big boost by avoiding the 3d cache CCD with it's lower frequency.

So yeah, considering the x3d chips were the most well-covered, obsessed over, and lauded, CPU architecture to come out in recent memory (even if the M series from apple is way more impressive in most ways), for someone to suggest they completely nerf their CPU, so that some unoptimized games will run better on that motherboard means they have absolutely no clue how a CPU, computer programs, or specifically zen5 architecture works, even on the most basic, elementary level.

Also what makes more difference in audio quality in low watt output systems? The capacitor, or the DAC?

That whole article just has to be cut and paste from a marketing email.
