POSTER: computer news || DDR4-4079 THE BEST MEMORY OVERCLOCKING RESULT FOR THE SOCKET AM4 PLATFORM
We can see how the BIOS updates gradually reveal the potential of the AMD Ryzen processor system, and motherboards are starting to support the increasingly aggressive DDR4 mode.
A single 4 GB DDR4 module from G.Skill was able to work on the motherboard Gigabyte Aorus AX370-Gaming K7 (BIOS F4 version) based on the AMD X370 logic set in DDR4-4079 mode with 18-20-20-58 timings. The frequency of the AMD Ryzen 5 1400 processor in this case did not exceed 800 MHz, although it was cooled by an unattended liquid system. According to the author of the record, in two-channel mode the memory is quietly operating at the frequency of DDR4-3600 in the SuperPI 32M test.

POSTER: computer news || THE OUTPUT OF AMD EPYC PROCESSORS WILL BECOME A TRIUMPH OF MULTI-CHIP PACKAGING
For more than a decade, Intel and AMD have consistently tried to adapt the dual-chip configuration of processors for the needs of the consumer and server segments, but the specificity of the "coexistence" of two crystals in one package negatively affected the speed and efficiency level. Now AMD claims that with the advent of the high-speed interface Infinity Fabric such problems will be solved. Recall that the server processors EPYC contain up to four eight-core chips on one substrate, and in the case of desktop processors Ryzen Threadripper such crystals will be two pieces.
In the last days of the past half-year, Wells Fargo experts said they have information that allows them to believe in the effectiveness of the Infinity Fabric interface to eliminate bottlenecks in such a multi-core processor layout. After a decade of trial and error, according to analysts, AMD managed to find the right recipe for creating low-cost processors with a large number of cores.
According to the source, AMD EPYC processors will be able to surpass the Broadwell-EP generation by the price-performance ratio, and the Skylake-EP processors coming out on July 11 will stand with them one step. AMD itself, recall, does not lose hope to reach the maximum historical share in the server processor market after the release of EPYC. These processors have already begun to flow to the partners of the company that produces servers, it remains to accumulate statistics.

POSTER: computer news || SYNTHETIC BENCHMARKS OF AMD RYZEN 3 1200 PROCESSOR PERFORMANCE
AMD introduced the Ryzen Pro family of processors for corporate use, which included two processors from the younger Ryzen 3 Pro family. As you know, the consumer versions of the processors of this family, without the prefix Pro in the name, will be released in the second half of this year. And given the fact that the rest of the Pro product line does not differ in its basic specifications from its consumer counterparts, it can be argued that the Ryzen 3 1300 and Ryzen 3 1200 processors will be the same as their "professional" counterparts.
It follows that the Ryzen 3 1300 and Ryzen 3 1200 processors will offer four cores and four streams with frequencies of 3.5 / 3.7 and 3.1 / 3.4 GHz. Each core will have 512 KB of L2 cache, and the total cache of the third level will be 8 MB. The TDP level of both new products is expected at 65 watts. As for the cost, taking into account that the younger Ryzen 5 1400 costs $ 169, we can assume that the price of Ryzen 3 1300 is $ 149, and Ryzen 3 1200 - $ 129.
Our colleagues from WCCFTech found several results of synthetic tests of the younger Ryzen processors. So, in the SiSoft Sandra database, a record was found about the Ryzen 3 1200 processor, where for some reason it was defined as two dual-core processors. The processor showed very good results, demonstrating the performance in 72.28 GOPS (billion operations per second) in the overall test, and 54.05 and 44.81 GFlops in single and double precision operations, respectively. These figures roughly correspond to the performance of the Intel Core i7-2600K (without overclocking), which is still very popular.
Also, the results of testing Ryzen 3 1200 in the benchmark Passmark were published, where he showed a score of 7043 points. For comparison, the processor Intel Core i5 3570K at standard frequencies is gaining 7151 points, and the Core i7 2600K is also at the reference frequencies - 8221 points. It turns out that the younger processors AMD Ryzen will also be able to offer a very good level of performance, and most importantly at an affordable price.

POSTER: computer news || INTEL 545S SSDS SM2259, TLC 3D V-NAND AND CAPACITIES UP TO 2 TERABYTES
Intel company was somewhat late about the completed exhibition Computex 2017, and therefore did not please the galaxy of the shown novelties : only now was announced a new SSD-drive Intel 545s.
Like its predecessor, the Intel 540s, it is based on a hardware platform based on the Silicon Motion controller, but the newer generation is the SM2259. The key is that the transition from memory with a classic planar layout of cells to a new cheaper memory with a vertical layout (64-layer 3D V-NAND) was implemented, along with Intel decided image casting: if the Intel 540s used the memory of SK Hynix (by virtue of The fact that Intel did not have its own memory of a similar type), then in the new Intel 545s - its own production. The memory type remains the same - TLC.
The debut was crumpled: Intel has only 512MB of 512GB of 2.5-by-7-mm versions of Intel's V-NAND memory, which is currently insufficient to produce memory. The rest should be available later: the volume will be from 128GB to 2TB, And the form factors are 2.5 "7 mm and M.2 2280 (in both cases, the SATA3 interface is used).
The specification of the released SSD is already available on the Intel site , and AnandTech has published its review . At the moment, the drive is offered only by one Newegg store at a price of $ 179 .
