AMD Updates Ryzen Product Pages to Elaborate on “Max Boost

AMD over the weekend up to date the product-pages of its Ryzen processors on the corporate web site to be very particular about what they imply by “Max Boost Clocks,” which might be marketed nearly as extensively because the processor’s most important nominal clock-speeds. AMD describes it has “the maximum single-core frequency at which the processor is capable of operating under nominal conditions.” We learn into this as the best boost-clock given to one of many cores on the processor.

If you have been studying the “clock-frequency and boost analysis” charts in our processor critiques, you may know that AMD processors unfold their enhance frequency progressively throughout cores throughout a multi-threaded workload that scales throughout all cores. At any given time, solely one of many cores is awarded the best enhance clock, and whereas the opposite cores too get boosted past the nominal clock-speeds, they’re in slight decrements of 25-50 MHz. The graph under is from our Ryzen 7 3700X overview. The second graph under is from our Core i9-9900Okay overview, which too reveals solely one of many cores getting the max enhance frequency, and the remaining cores getting decrease enhance clocks, though the graph appears to be like flatter.
