Leo and Luke spent some time in one of KitGuru Studios chatting about the latest AMD launch, Ryzen 2, and everything else related to AMD. Its well worth a look, if you can stomach the long running time of close to 1 hr 30 minutes ! 1:53 Why does Ryzen 5 3600X exist? Hardware Unboxed has shown they perform the same. What benefit do you get from the 95W TDP over 65W or is it all hocus pocus? 8:43 Manual overclocking of Zen and Precision Boost 2 13:57 How’s it going with X570 motherboard reviews? AGESA 1.0.0.2 before launch, AGESA 1.0.0.3 arrived around the time of launch followed by other versions 20:05 Should you use Ryzen 3000 with an older motherboard? 21:47 Relative costs of LGA115x, X299, TR4 and AM4 platforms 23:43 X570 chipset – 15W, active cooling, PCIe Gen 4. Check out the motherboard prices! 28:08 Threadripper 3000. New platform expected, perhaps in October. Let’s call it X599. Do we expect Threadripper 3000 to come with 24-core and 32-core versions. Will there be a 16-core? will it go further and hit 48-core and 64-core? 34:48 Luke loves Ryzen 7 3700X with an X470 board 35:33 B550 chipset 36:33 X570 chipsets draw so much power they require active cooling so the fans are also used to cool the M.2 slots. 47:47 What is the lifespan of a cooling fan? 52:42 X570 active cooling can also cool the VRMs with segue into VRM design on Intel and AMD (55 minutes both Leo and Luke say Z370 but mean AMD X370) 59:37 Leo tries to remember the second point – and succeeds! 1:00:13 Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme mega power from 14-phase VRM 1:03:33 G.Skill Trident Z and Neo DDR4 support on AMD 1:05:55 Zen 2 memory controller and Infinity Fabric. 3600MHz is the limit for good behaviour and not 3733MHz 1:14:13 Luke was going to upgrade from Core i9-9900K to Ryzen 3700X on a new X370 board! And now he has used Intel Quick Sync Video on Core i9-9900K #AMDRyzen #X570 #Zen2 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NE7BSLxRgM
