DRAM Ryzen Calculator Author Releases New Power Plan That Boosts Clock Frequency by 250 MHz

[Tsing]

DRAM Ryzen Calculator Yuri "1usmus" Bubliy has crated a special power plan for Ryzen 3000 CPUs that can supposedly boost their clock frequencies by as much as 250 MHz. Benchmark results are specific to the Ryzen 9 3900X and 3950X, but improvements should be valid across the entire range. Bubliy says he's already contacted AMD about his findings, so the power plan may be officialized in some way.

Problems with the clock behavior of the CPU, such as the short-term clock jumps without load are also to be corrected with its new energy plan. Results will vary but the new .plan works best for 3900X he mentions. The higher boost frequencies can also be accompanied by lower temperatures when no load or only load is applied to individual cores, the developer mentions.

Promising.

I'm interested for when I get mine.

That said, it seems kind of weird that some random dude online would have a better result than the people who have engineering teams responsible for designing the damned thing.

A. We don't know who this some dude is. He could be really good at this.
B. Sometimes the best solution is found by someone who is fresh to the problem mentally willing to try things the others would dismiss out of hand.

I believe it when I see it implemented.

I'll be a guinea pig and give it a go when I get home from work tonight

 

[Riccochet]

I installed it. Not a **** bit of difference for me.

Wouldn't the performance power plan work the best?

In theory, yes. But in testing the AMD Balanced plan was proving to have better performance.

This new power plan didn't make any difference to me. I still don't break 4325 single core and 4100 all core clocks.

Balanced is also what AMD recommends. That's the one that works with / enables CCPC2.
