Amd announces agesa 1.0.0.6, support for memories up to 4000 mhz

AMD continues working every day to improve the memory support of its AM4 platform, the manufacturer already has the new AGESA 1.0.0.6 micro-code that adds support for DDR4 memories with a speed of up to 4000 MHz. Recall that the Infinity Fabric bus that It is used to interconnect all the elements of the Ryzen processors. It has a bandwidth that depends directly on the speed of the RAM.

AGESA 1.0.0.6 adds important improvements for Ryzen

Since the arrival of Ryzen processors we have seen that AMD has not stopped improving its AM4 platform to offer the maximum to users who trust their new Zen microarchitecture. AGESA is responsible for starting processors during system startup, so it is an element of vital importance. The new AGESA 1.0.0.6 update will come to users in the form of new BIOSes that will be released by different motherboard manufacturers, its arrival is expected throughout June.

Ryzen's internal bandwidth depends on RAM

AGESA 1.0.0.6 is a new step to improve Ryzen's compatibility with the memory modules existing in the market, this version introduces a total of 26 new parameters that will help to achieve a correct functioning of the memories that do not follow the JEDEC standards, that is, all those that reach frequencies above 2133 MHz and those compatible with XMP profiles, among others.

As a bonus, improvements have been introduced for the virtualization of operating systems, support for PCI Express Access Control Services (ACS) has been added, which will improve the performance of 3D acceleration in virtualized systems. Thanks to this improvement, it will be possible for systems with 2 GPUs to allocate one of them to the host system and the other to the virtualized system, this will allow video games to be run on the virtualized system with almost native performance.
