AGESA to 1.0.0.6. for AMD Ryzen

AGESA to 1.0.0.6. for AMD Ryzen was just released.

What kind of performance increase will we see?

NOOOOOOOOOO

Nice performance improvements for Linux and Virtual Machines.
Not much for Windows.

4000MHZ

gigabyte beta is out for 1.5 weeks

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

>beta
this isn't the beta though

>gnu is firmware sensitive

apparently it even works on good modules without crazy special settings

Based on the Asus C6H testing, you should see up to 3400 RAM timings with some tweaking on quality kits.

Also some slightly stability improvements for BClk OCs.

Honestly, it's pretty much about fixing the weird memory training to make it more reliable. Can't wait for it to go live properly.

It actually slightly improves the performance even without faster DRAM.

>With Ryzen, we have already seen that BIOS updates can have a noteworthy impact, with AGESA 1.0.0.4 decreasing memory latency and AGESA 1.0.0.6 giving some minor speed boosts across a wide range of applications. While with AGESA version 1.0.0.6 these performance changes are minor, it must be remembered that these boosts are achieved with no hardware changes or software changes outside of ASUS' UEFI.

Jesus, it looks like AMD's chips got close to 10% faster from EFI updates alone across the board since the launch.
Wonder if there's any more surprises latter? Zen+ should be a real joy once all the software and firmware get fixed.

Goes ok.

Not sure it's picked up that much, but with P-State overclocking, it's going pretty damn well.

Hoping they keep focusing on performance and stability. So long as it keeps getting better.

looks good so far, lets boot up

You'll likely have to screw around with the timings and tertiary options to get a stable memory OC

I just used the default AMP profile, I didn't touch the timings

everything just works not with 1.0.0.6

Nice

GO AMD GO
YOU CAN DO IT

>muh penny pinching about 5FPS at 120FPS
Intel must be panicking.

btw this isn't the beta, it looks like the full release

It doesn't look like it, it is.
