Amd talks about improved memory support, ryzen 3 and game optimization

In an interview on Forbes AMD has confirmed that it continues to work to improve the compatibility of Ryzen processors with the memories available on the market, the goal is to allow users to enjoy higher clock speeds. This is especially important since the Infinity Fabric bus is directly dependent on the speed of RAM.

The first step has been taken with the new update of the AGESA micro-code released in May, however, it is necessary to continue working very hard together with the manufacturers of motherboards to offer new improvements in the future. AMD intends to offer new AGESA updates to improve the memory support of its new Zen-based processors. These new updates will come from the hand of the new BIOS of the manufacturers.

AMD has also discussed the work it is doing with video game developers to improve Ryzen's performance, especially in low resolutions like 1080p. When running a game at low resolution, the processor is often the main limiting factor in performance, especially when using very high-end and very powerful graphics cards. To this work with the developers is added the recently released patch that adds the Ryzen-balanced mode to the Windows power plan to improve the benefits offered by the processors, this, together with the update of drivers for the chipset, can improve the yield by 5-10%.

Regarding the offset of 20ºC in the temperature of the Ryzen “X” processors, he mentioned that this does not affect the performance that the chips can offer at all, this has already been solved with the update of the Ryzen Master application that already shows the correct temperature of processors.

Regarding Mini-ITX format motherboards, AMD states that we will see a greater number of these motherboards with the arrival of the X300 chipset, a simpler design but that offers greater energy efficiency and is more appropriate to be used on motherboards with a very small size.

Lastly, he spoke about Ryzen 3 processors, which will arrive in quad-core versions and perhaps in dual-core versions during the third quarter of 2017. The quad-core versions differ from the Ryzen 5 by the absence of SMT technology so they are limited to 4 threads of execution.
