Another 5.3 1t 9800X3D GB6 run.
It does look like 9800X3D might end up having 5.3 1t boost.

Certainly looks that way-- I wonder if its just going to officially list max boost clock at 5.2 and opportunistically boost to 5.3 if silicon allows (like most Zen 4 SKUs), or if they will list it at 5.3? Surely the packaging is complete and boxes are starting to hit the channel any day now.

Still wondering what this setting actually does.. I can see higher gaming performance with disabling CCD1/SMT, but higher memory bandwidth ?!
Normally the only way this happen is with faster FCLK 🤔
well on my 9950X this option disables SMT and CCD1 all together 🧐

scared when opened task manager and only eight threads were there 😅

dont know what other evil things it does 🤣

Isn't there supposed to be an announcement today regarding X3D?
Maybe they postponed it. They really must've been scared of the imaginary leprechaun they expected Intel to pull out of their behinds

Lisa Su in an internal memo: "Crisis averted. Everyone go back to sleep. Or working. Or doing whatever. And please, get us a better mole inside Intel so we don't have to take emergency preventive measures at such short notice in future."

I'm more interested in the 9900X3D and 9950X3D. Any word to the rumor that both chiplets will have the 3D cache this time around? This makes them hugely more interesting, especially the 9900X3D which would actually have a reason to exist now.

Except as a mitigation to scheduling problems, what makes dual 3D cache more interesting? Doesn't it come with a clock speed reduction?

So as per the clue given by @tsamolotoff , give us screenshots of ZenTimings before and after.

Please
sure

before (EXPO enabled, all timmings auto):



After (EXPO enabled, all timmings auto):



So as @tsamolotoff said, it sets tREFI to a higher value and tRFC to a lower value.. and thats it

btw @Hitman928, I set "EXPO/XMP high bandwidth support" to disabled, and it was not enabled after enabling this x3d turbo mode thing (and restarting) 🧐

I very much doubt that. This feels very akin to the Zen 5 "32% IPC" rumor. People get excited only to be let down.

It will, but I think it's a good compromise for those of us that like high core counts but also like to game.
I guess, I'd be more interested if AMD found a way to have 3D cache variants dynamically disable 3D cache and clock higher automatically without requiring a restart. But I'm not sure that's possible.

Well, it's probably a rumor or somebody's speculative guess too somewhere, but if you are talking about the news techPowerUp published based on BenchLife's articel based on some twitter post with a screenshot from bilibili, then that was purely TPU misreading the source.

The original table was quite confusing but only TPU got caught in that. It did not mean that 9950X3D and 9900X3D will have 2x V-Cache, actually it was the opposite.

TL;DR not true, unless some surprise happens.

What differences, if any, do these make to your mem read/write bandwidth and latency?

What else could make them special?
Almost similar boost clocks to vanilla parts?

Both higher quality and top binned CCDs?

Better thermal dissipation and even lower temps than vanilla parts?

6 GHz fmax (venturing into fantasyland here)?

Premium quality iOD allowing easy DDR5-9000 EXPO set and forget?

One V-cache die but covering both CCDs so both get access to the same frequently re-used data?

3nm CCDs?

One regular Zen 5 CCD with V-cache die and one Zen 5c CCD with 16 cores without V-cache?

World's first 10 core 3nm CCDs???

They will have red stripes because red stripes makes things faster.

It turns on these options as well, but I have no idea what they do.

View attachment 110274
I'm pretty sure "high bandwidth support enabled" just rises tREFI, would explain the higher bandwidth

"low latency support" is GDM disable ?
"Low latency support" is changing nitro values from lets say 2-3-1 to 1-2-1 ?

If thats the case, this new X3D turbo option does nothing for "us tweakers" that already run a optimized system, good for the rookies tho i guess
Would also help the reviewers, so thats a pluss

*edit*
Can see we already have it figured out 👍
