This is an investigation of AMD Ryzen 3000 with the aim to highlight changes to memory and fabric behavior on Zen 2 (Matisse). As you’ve probably seen, Ryzen 3000 is capable of much higher memory speeds than previous generations. The main reason for this is added circuitry on-chip that allows running the memory clock (MCLK)…
The EVC2 is soon ready for release and should be available in mid-June. It’s estimated to cost 35 USD without the OLED display which will be a 5 USD add-on. Quick specs 3x I2C headers working at 3.3-5.0V 1x UART header, TX 3.3V RX 3.3-5.0V 1x SPI header with on-board supply (0.8-3.6V) VMOD header for…
Many have contacted me asking when planned products will be available. Progress has been slow but fear not, things are moving forward! In order to improve communication I’ve created a product mailing list through Mailchip (below). Don’t delay, subscribe today!
The P80DB1L card allows you to display motherboard debug information, even if there’s no such display on your motherboard. It uses an Altera/Intel Max V CPLD which decodes data sent to port 80 on the LPC bus, which is accessible on many motherboards using the TPM header. Pinouts of the card, cables and standard headers…
After working out some quirks I finally got around to test the RX480 full out on LN2. It’s not incredible but not all bad. This specific card was not the best clocker to begin with so I think we can see up to 1800 MHz on a better sample. The highest validated result was done…
