It’s worth mentioning that AMD recommends using OEM-supplied drivers that are customized and validated for their system-specific features and optimizations.

It is worth mentioning that netizen @OC_Formula also found a rather strange APU——Ryzen 7 7840S, the suffix is not the standard HS and U, nor is it the exclusive H in China.

AMD’s official website did not announce its specifications, but this processor uses the same driver as the R7 7840HS, which is expected to be an OEM customized version (update: confirmed as Lenovo’s customized FP8 package version R7 7840U).

The AMD R7 7840HS series processors were originally released in January this year, originally planned to be available in March, then postponed to April, and finally listed at the end of May.

Now, notebook computers equipped with R7 7840HS processors are already on the market in large numbers. For example, Lenovo’s Xiaoxin Pro series will be released at the end of this month, and it seems that they are waiting for the official driver.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is so popular that the latest 3D V-Cache CPUs are selling almost twice as much as the 5800X3D.

According to statistics shared by TechEpiphany, sales of AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D at German retailer MindFactory reached 4,720 units. In contrast, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D only sold 2510 units, which is only slightly more than half of the 7800X3D.

Currently, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU is priced at $449, which is basically the same as the Ryzen 7 5800X3D.

In addition, the Intel Core i9-13900K benefits from its good gaming performance, even if the price is as high as $550 or more, it can still eat away at the sales of 7950X3D and 7900X3D. This forced a price cut on the higher core count 3D V-Cache processors, while the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D was too popular to see a similar price cut.

Judging from the sales list of some retailers in the United States, the sales volume of AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is not as good as that of Core i9-13900K and i7-13700K, and it is not even as good as old models such as R7 5700X and R5 5600.

The post ASUS Releases AMD AGESA 1.0.0.7a BIOS for AM5 Motherboards, Solves Ryzen 7000 Burnout Issue appeared first on TechGoing.

According to KEPC, AMD AGESA 1.0.0.7 BIOS firmware goes beyond voltage limitations and has mandated that all Ryzen 7000 CPU users upgrade after the release of the AGESA 1.0.0.7 BIOS available update to avoid burn-in issues.

According to the motherboard manufacturer, the new firmware does not just limit the SOC voltage to 1.3V but also modifies the PROCHOT Control and PROCHOT Deassertion Ramp Time, two mechanisms related to thermal limiting, and Ryzen 7000X3D users must update to AGESA 1.0.0.7 BIOS as soon as possible.

According to the introduction, PROCHOT Control is a safety feature related to CBS and SMU COMMON, which is designed to avoid processor overheating. When the temperature of the processor reaches a critical value, the CPU or other system components will send a PROCHOT signal. The processor power is then reduced to lower the temperature and prevent possible loss.PROCHOT Deassertion Ramp Time is the definition of the time it takes for the processor to return to normal power after the PROCHOT overheat signal occurs. The time interval required for the processor to gradually increase its power and return to normal operation as the temperature returns below a critical value.

As it stands, AGESA 1.0.0.7 is more conservative with respect to PROCHOT, the voltage and temperature thresholds associated with PROCHOT and SOC / IMC will be much lower, and the time interval for consumption recovery will be longer. This means that CPU burn-in events are not only due to voltage, but may also include factors such as imperfect thermal management, but it will take some time to verify that the problem is actually solved.

AMD has already provided a BETA version to the motherboard maker for internal testing, and the official version is expected to be released on May 6.

The original AMD spokesperson’s comments are as follows:

We have identified the root cause of the problem and have released a new AGESA to enhance certain power controls on AM5 motherboards to prevent CPUs from running outside their specification limits, including capping the SOC voltage at 1.3V. None of these changes affect the ability of our Ryzen 7000 series processors to overclock memory using EXPO or XMP kits or improve performance using PBO technology to improve performance.

We expect all ODM partners to release new BIOS versions for their AM5 motherboards in the coming days. We recommend that all users check their motherboard manufacturer's website and update their BIOS to ensure that their system has the latest firmware.

Any CPU users who may be affected by this issue should contact AMD customer service support. Our customer service team is aware of the situation and is prioritizing these cases.

In this regard, AMD officials issued a statement to foreign media Anandtech yesterday. The company is aware of the problem and is investigating. At the same time, AMD is asking motherboard and ODM suppliers to ensure that the device firmware/BIOS is within the correct voltage tolerance range. It runs the Ryzen 7000X3D processor inside. The statement also calls on affected users to contact AMD after-sales support.

 We have noticed a few reports online that excessive voltage during overclocking can damage motherboard sockets and pins. We are actively investigating the situation and working with our ODM partners to ensure that voltage applied to the Ryzen 7000X3D CPU via the motherboard BIOS settings are within product specifications. Users of any CPUs that may be affected by this issue should contact AMD Customer Support.

Several motherboard partners had rolled out BIOS updates before AMD’s announcement, and some even removed older versions of the BIOS from their websites. The new firmware enforces strict limits on CPU core voltage and prevents voltage-assisted overclocking. Some companies, such as MSI, have even introduced new auto-overclocking modes that enhance PBO-based performance tuning without exceeding the voltage limit set by AMD.

This processor is one of many Ryzen 7040U Phoenix APUs, designed for 15-28W laptops and handheld devices, with Zen 4 architecture 8-core 16-thread CPU and RDNA 3 architecture Radeon 780M iGPU, including 12 computing units, 768 cores, 2800 MHz frequency.

Compared with the Ryzen Z1 Extreme used in the Asus ROG Ally handheld, this processor will not be monopolized by a certain manufacturer. For example, this running score is based on a Lenovo laptop.

The laptop has 64 GB of LPDDR5-7500 memory and no discrete graphics card. Of course, the performance of the Radeon 780M with high-frequency dual-channel memory is definitely strong enough, which is definitely a good thing for thin and light laptops.

In terms of performance, the Ryzen 7 Pro 7840U scored 2429 points in the single-core test and 11268 points in the multi-core test. From the results in the Geekbench database, its performance has been significantly better than all APUs in the Ryzen 6000 and Ryzen 5000 series, even It beats the more powerful Ryzen 9 6900HX.

Most importantly, this 15-28W APU is also stronger than desktop-grade AMD and Intel processors in terms of a single core, and it is also very close to the Core i9-12900 and R9 5900X levels in multi-core tests, but its power consumption may Only a quarter.

The test platform used by this medium includes AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 32GB DDR5 at 6000Mhz and NVIDIA’s RTX 4090. The system uses a 64-bit Win10 system, and the GeForce 531.61 driver update is installed.

After enabling DLSS3 frame generation technology, two games, The Witcher 3 Next-Gen and Cyberpunk 2077, experienced noticeable stuttering.

With Intel processors and Nvidia graphics, there is no such problem. In this regard, the foreign technology media WccFetch believes that the culprit is that the game studio CD Projekt Red did not optimize REDEngine enough.

The good news is that DLSS 3 Frame Generation works fine in other games, running smoothly in Forza Horizon 5, Microsoft Flight Simulator and Hogwarts Legacy.

It is reported that ASRock released four A620 series AM5 motherboards at the end of March this year, including 2 models equipped with 4 sets of memory slots – A620M Pro RS and A620M Pro RS WiFi, and 2 models with 2 sets of memory slots. Models – A620M-HDV/M.2+ and A620M-HDV/M.2.

ASRock A620M-HDV is the most basic model in this series of motherboards. It is equipped with 2 sets of high-speed SSD slots, and the built-in USB 3.2 Type-C port allows users to connect various external devices conveniently. At the same time, the Dr.MOS design strengthens the power supply capacity of VRM and cooling efficiency. ASRock announced that three of its A620 motherboards support AMD R7 7800X3D large cache processors, but not this one.
