Question A Couple Ryzen 5 3400G on X570 Questions

I had seen that, the problem is that they say 20 lanes (16+4). But AMD says it has 8 lanes for the PCIe slot. So, I know that isn’t right. The question is if the SOC has 12 (8+4) or just the 8.

Question A Couple Ryzen 5 3400G on X570 Questions

I bought a Ryzen 5 3400G to use in a file server build and hoping to virtualize OPNSense. I am replacing on older one built in a desktop case with a new built in a NAS case (Silverstone CS380). I had originally planned to use the Asrock B450 K4 since it had an additional ASMedia SATA...

Samsung 256Gbit V-NAND MLC?

Last year on September 22nd Samsung was talking about 256Gbit V-NAND MLC for 4TB 850 Pros and 1TB 950 Pros in 2016. Any word on the progress? When we might be able to get these?

Z77 SATA AHCI and RAID

I have an Asus P8Z77-V LK motherboard. I am wondering if there is anyway to have both an Intel RAID and have my boot SSD in AHCI mode? The BIOS has one setting of SATA mode for the Z77 chipset SATA for of IDE/AHCI/RAID. So, if the SATA Mode is set to AHCI, can I still run a secondary disk in...

When will we see Skylake E?

I believe the last roadmap I saw said Q4 for Broadwell-E. I don't think you will see a Skylake-E until the end of 2016.

Intel Skylake / Kaby Lake

It will be interesting to see which of the memory manufactures first decides to make DDR4 non-ECC DIMMs that are larger than 8GB. Once that happens, I am guessing the others will be will feel compelled to do it as well.

Intel Skylake / Kaby Lake

My (admittedly tenuous) understanding is that the DDR3L memory will be required to have the UniDIMM form factor to work with skylake. I don't know if anyone will produce some sort of adapter letting you use standard DDR3L DIMMS with it or not. Anyway, I wouldn't get too much hope of getting to...

Broadwell to Skylake, will be similar to the transition from Prescott to Conroe

If Intel is trying to confuse their competition, I expect they are doing very well at that. Unfortunately, they are also sending signals that are confusing to both consumers and stockholders. Which in the long run may well hurt them.

Intel Broadwell Thread

The people who see these chips as a "bone" won't be the ones overclocking. They are more interested in power saving, than performance. I must admit I don't really understand why these "C" CPUs are being released. My only guess is that some OEMs and/or System Integrators wanted them. Maybe we...

Intel Broadwell Thread

Desktop and higher performance notebook processors have been pushed, yet again, from Q2 2015 to H2 2015. From what I have seen I wouldn't expect them before August, if then. In January they released two i7 mobile parts: Core i7-4720HQ and Core i7-4722HQ. These are 47 and 37 watt TDPs...

Intel Broadwell Thread

Are Broadwell Desktop parts just FUD at this point? How late to market is this thing? Weren't these parts originally targeted for 2Q of 2014? Now it is second half of 2015 and Skylake processors a few months later? Is Intel just trying to stringing people along until they get Skylake parts out?

I am doing a lot of traveling. For the USB disk I was thinking of a WD Passport mobile drive. I believe they can be powered by a USB port. And it would be plugged into the laptop when I got back to the hotel for the night and stay there until I left. I don't want to encourage companies to...

Ok, I hadn't heard anything about IB-E since not long after IB launched. I figured it was dead with Haswell just around the corner. I guess I was wrong. But, that suggests that there won't be a Haswell-E until at least a year from when that launches, most likely. Anyway, neither are...

What makes you think Intel is planing an Ivy Bridge-E platform? I think they skipped it. After all, they shipped Sandy Bridge-E not all that long after Sandy Bridge. Why wait a year and another platform before the before doing it for Ivy Bridge?

I know that the product line is supposed to be launched on June 4th, but when will we see products available? With the PCH USB issue, I assume those parts won't ship. So when will these products start getting into consumers hands?

I would suggest the P8Z77-V LK, it has 3 PCI-E 16x, 2 PCI-E x1 and just 2 PCI slots. Unless, you have a need for the PCI slots those are really just wasted slots. Also Asus is widely considered to have the best BIOS and has equal length traces to the memory (Z77 boards only). The later gives...

Help choosing a z77 board

If you plan on overclocking the memory as well, you would be better off with an Asus Z77 board, since they have their T-memory system. Basicly, they have equal length traces to all the dimms. This improves the ability to overclock memory. This was in an Intel white paper, but they were...

On Z77 motherboards Asus has added the T-memory system, that reduces this issue. Using equal length traces to each memory slot, they have made the synchronization issue less prevalent.
