Ryzen 5 config?

[Nena Trinity]

Okay we all know Ryzen 7 is dual quad-cores with SMT right? But what about Ryzen 5s? Are they dual dual-cores with SMT & dual tri-cores with SMT? Or are they gonna be quad-core & quad+dual-core?

 

Simplified:

*Ryzen 7 - 4x4

*Ryzen 5 - 3x3 or 4+2?

*Ryzen 5 - 4 or 2x2?

 

Does someone know or have guesses please post them! o3o

Unfortunately seems like 2+2 and 3+3

But that doesn't mean their clock speed will be less or they have bad architecture, we can only know about that on the day of announcement.

Le copypasta for clockspeeds:

AMD Ryzen 5 SKUs
	Cores/ Threads	Base/ Turbo	XFR	L3	TDP	Cost	Cooler
Ryzen 5 1600X	6/12	3.6/4.0	+100	16 MB	95 W	$249	-
Ryzen 5 1600	6/12	3.2/3.6	+100	16 MB	65 W	$219	Spire
Ryzen 5 1500X	4/8	3.5/3.7	+200	16 MB	65 W	$189	Spire
Ryzen 5 1400	4/8	3.2/3.4	+50	8 MB	65 W	$169	Stealth

 

There's only one thing I'd like to know:

-How are they disabling the cores?

Yall know why ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ...

I'm having X3 unlock flashbacks. 

 

3+3 and 2+2 is a strange configuration, the dual-CPU crap is messing up multi-threaded performance..

@Droidbot i too am having flash backs of the triple cores. My old motherboard has a core unlock feature. expect to see this in up coming AM4 boards

4-core will be just one 4 core die because it has 8MB lvl3

2+2 can be 2 2core dies, just with 4MB L3 per die disabled

From previous architecture diagrams, I believe you get one ram channel per CCX. For dual channel ram, you have to run two CCX. I think they also stated the CCX have to be run in a balanced configuration although I don't recall the source of that.

 

Single CCX might only make sense for really low end systems.

The  Ryzen 5 1500X  looks really nice, defiantly for people that are not going to overclock due to the XFR.

XFR still only pushes it 100mhz, which suuuuuuucks. They hyped it up to the point where I thought it would be noticeable and you could set it up to boost further in UEFI.. like during first setup you could pick your cooling solution from a list and it would set XFR to boost as needed and tell you as far as it would go.. like automatic OC. Without that 'push 1.5v into it and smash it up to 5Ghz' like MSI's Z270 boards.

They should have just not announced anything before the launch

Not the first time AMD's disappointed with overclocking results.

Fury launch for example, they showed off massive OC and the release chips are mediocre.

Fury was still underrated

 They go for 200 new on newegg

 Used 980tis are more than that

$250 new, and I know that. They're amazing cards, for an $800 build you pair Xeon E3 w/ HT (usually i7 4770 stock speeds) and a Fury and you smash essentially any game for not much more than a PS4 Pro and a decent laptop

The XFR range on R5 1500x is 200 which is gives it a chance of being a 3.7/3.9 Ghz 4/8 CPU if cooled properly.
