Amd agesa 1.0.0.3abba will fix zen 2 boost frequencies
Table of contents:
The Ryzen 3000 processors have been suffering from problems with their boost frequencies and this is something that the user Der8auer confirmed . Today, we have learned of leaks from the AMD AGESA 1.0.0.3ABBA microcode and, even more importantly, some users have been able to test them. Let's see how the new update performs and see if it has really solved the frequency problem.
AMD AGESA 1.0.0.3ABBA has already been shipped to major motherboard manufacturers
The issue is that it was announced that today, September 10, the microcode update would be ready. However, not for users, but for manufacturing companies to implement it in their UEFI firmwares . For this reason, we will need to wait a couple of days more until we can see the first stable versions.
However, the microcode apparently transferred to msi has been leaked on the ChipHell website. Due to this, a user of the Tom's Hardware website extracted this update and tested it on its compatible MEG M5 X570 Creator motherboard . The tests were done on different benchmarks and with the Ryzen 7 3700X and Ryzen 9 3900X CPUs .
In its small article, AMD AGESA 1.0.0.3ABBA was found to solve many of the problems with boost frequencies. The Ryzen 7 3700X arrived at 4.4 GHz without problems, whereas before it was always around 4.375 GHz . On the other hand, the Ryzen 9 3900X even reached the figure of 4, 625 GHz , thus exceeding the limit written on the box.
However, they also noted that, in other tests, the behavior of the processor was strange and only reached 4.25 GHz . Be that as it may, the conclusion they draw is that the new patch solves many of the problems and brings more good than bad.
Finally, he also comments that it seems that the temperature limits have been retouched, so that the units will have more space to operate.
What do you think about the AMD AGESA 1.0.0.3ABBA patch? Do you think Ryzen 3000 has come out too soon? Share your ideas in the comment box.
