It's a subset of, x86 can run very well without
What if MICROSOFT would've ignored AMD64 extension? AMD would've developed it for nothing; Thus AMD did collaborate on implemeting it into Windows x64, but they dropped the ball with TR and it's implementation in Windows
At this point, MS could give less of a flying fuck and ignore TR, at any point AMD thought it was necessary to have MICROSOFT involved?!

After they launched it?! HA!

I applaud your knowledge, lack there of, AMD64 does not exist in a vacuum and it's not an architecture
It's purely an extension to the x86 architecture, nothing less .. nothing more

It's the other way around, AMD has to adhere to x86 specs and they went off rails

Windows to blame??! MICROSOFT didn't develop THREADRIPPER, AMD did - was AMD not aware what they were doing?

Probably, maybe?!
 
Hi there guys, we launched a new CPU with these awesome features, but don't use it on Windows ..
Applause all around

Wendell over at Level1Techs has been slaving away for the past couple of months trying to determine why the new 32 cores threadripper CPUs actually perform worse than the older 16 core versions in certain workloads. Well it appears he and Ian Cutress have found the culprit. Many blamed the gimped amount of memory channels starving the 4 physical dies but testing with the EPYC counterpart, which has 2 channel access to each dye, shows no performance difference. Here is a video of him explaining how they found it and a theoretical fix for windows in the mean time. Linux on the other hand has no issue and is over 100% faster.
 
Comparison between 7551 and 2990WX in Windows and Linux

 
As you can see there is a big issue in windows

I would be interested to hear from @King Poet and others on the forum who have the 2990WX and see what kind of performance differences they see when they run the CorePrio fix.

Yep, that's right. You can even link your OEM Windows activation key to your Microsoft account if you need it for a new PC or something.
 
Tbh, I don't even watch Techquickie videos. Some videos are full of mistakes/errors, and lots are too oversimplified.

Funny, everyone hated annotations but this is a classic example of when they’re actually useful, correcting little errors like this. Nice find.

The extent of the relevance to tech in this news is that it used technology to perform the actions. This topic is inherently political, and the OP has a focus on the politics, not the technology.
To avoid out of control fires, political discussion isn't allowed. Topic locked.

Yes, it's the same

it will work
 
I strongly suggest you read the mobo manual
