I know its early, but as someone pointed out, I better get my ram now before the scalpers are all over it.

To go with a 7950x, what do you think of this ram:

Could that help?

The issue isn't CPPC deciding to favor the V$ cores if HWINFO is accurate, it shows CPPC still has the frequency cores as the highest priority for CPPC.

I did try setting CPPC affinity in the bios from auto to driver, and then to frequency and it did nothing.

Upon further observation, with PBO off the majority of windows tasks run on the frequency cores, including cinebench single. Enabling PBO causes the majority of windows tasks to run on the V$ cores, including cinebench single. It really seems like a bug especially given HWINFO's reporting that CPPC still prefers the frequency cores.
