CES 2020
Zen 4000G APU

why RAM colour not the same

why not both white or both black?

with windows 10, some say even upgrading between chipset and generation, eg i7-4700 to i7-8600 also dont need to fresh install windows.....
some would even say changing proc from AMD to intel also no needd......

if you old school, just do it.
if not, shoudlnt be a problem, especially since change CPU not as major as chipset or CPU brand change

IMO, AM5 will be DDR5 which will be 2021 production, thus 2022 launch or mass availability.
Dont think AMD will be launching new socket this close to new RAM launch.

Can have PCi-E 5.0, DDR5, AM5, Ryzen 5000, Radeon RX580XT all on same year..... owai

I just go by these steps when picking motherboards:

0. Price
1. number of USB ports I need
2. number of SATA ports I need
3. number of RAM slots I need
4. number of PCIE slots I need
5. kaler

you can go on with the build quality vrm etc, but i dont think most users OC enough to need to worry about those.
those information however, can get via reviews

you have two contradictory statements....
you want cheap and better.....

If you want cheap, dont have to ask here... just buy the cheapest of the 4 options from any shops.
As for the differences, R5 APU has SMT, R3 APU doesnt.
It's like buying an i5 or i7 in the good old days.
This is in addition to the better GPU performance on the R5.

As long as AM4, can support up to 4000 series CPU.
2400G and 3400G is difference in IGP performance and CPU performance.
3400G is newer and has better CPU/GPU performance.
They are otherwise the same 4 core 8 thread chip.

As for whether A320 motherboard can support 3000 series CPU,
I think you should just go for B450 or wait for B550. price difference less than RM50.
aside from PCI-E support (mainly for discrete graphics and NvME SSD later), newer chipset will have better compatibility guarantee with future CPU too.

You can go bios to set lower target temperature and more aggressive fan profile.
I am running a Hyper 212 on an ancient sandy, I get the same temperature at idle at room temperature no aircon also

should go beyond 90 though......


new paste, 100% fan profiel etc tested?

IMO, true reason is manufacturer.

Although manufacturer can do anything they want, the manufacturers can also do whatever they want.....
The last and most controversial incident like this was AMD's shitty 5600XT launch.

As original spec was designed to fight GTX1650, thus hardware was only required to perform as such, most manufacturers cheaped out and made the bare minimum to support that. Then AMD got sked and wanted to bios boost to fight gtX1650 Super with the same chip.
Even though GPU could fight, all other supporting components like VRM, RAM etc might not able to keep up to new performance requirements.
That lead to lots of big opps......

Spin that the other way around, which would reflect AMD's rationale on the motherboard supports
CPU end, sked partners screw them
GPU end, screw partners over.

i dont know....I dont remember 1650 or 1660
next gen Nvidia will be RTX3080Ti, RTX2660 Super and GTX1770

IMO, CPU side, they're not pulling funny stunts like that.
CPU side also, I dont see anything wrong with them not officially supporting, but also not completely blocking OEM partners from supporting even up to 16Cores on A320 as the socket is still the same between 3950X and 1300X.

Honestly, I prefer guarantee from manufacturer than AMD as people like Asus and MSI are the ones truly responsible for keeping your system alive and supported when Windows 12 launched in 2030 anyway
Like even if Intel support Core2 on Windows 7 and 10, you'd still get screwed if Gigabyte doesnt give you the drivers to run audio off your ancient motherboard

To be fair, we all know B550, X670 and perhaps a X650 will be the last AM4 boards since AM5 will be launching in 2021 with AM5 Socket, DDR5 Ram, PCI-E 5.0, AMD Ryzen R5-5600X.

1. AMD cheapo Ryzen 3 can beat Intel Core i7 and i5 in gaming already publicity to pee on Intel 10th Gen
2. Technically AMD does not support 3950X on X470 chipset also, but I see almost all boards released has the CPU on support list
3. probably someone asked, so they explained. No need play U turn card, since even X370 can support up to Zen2 R7-3000 as of now depending on manufacturer.

got money buy 3950X, dont have money for at least X470 or B450 motherboard?
Like buying Ferarri, but use 2nd hand tire.
each time punctured, must patch, not change tyre

u sudah beli, u keep saja....
likely if you have bought higher end B450, manufacturer will deliver bios update to support Ryzen 4000 provided that you even consider upgrading in the first place.....

I dont get why there's no such huha when Ryzen 3000 launched and was not officially supported on B350 and A320 as well....
here we are today with B450 boards that can support 3950X.

2022 will be AM5 launch.
2020 will be last AM4 launch with B550, X670 and possibly B650.

why not splice the cable instead?

No premier, no worth upgrading.
Even an i7-2600K is still a capable CPU for gaming.
Unless you are running a GTX2080Ti, really wont be much difference with a 6600K or 3700X

kecian Ryzen 1000 era APU is Bulldozer

who you wanna sell your big socket to?
aside from saving power, what are you gonna accomplished by going from 2950X to 3950x?
TNB kan ada discount during MCO

cannot upgrade if laptop literally got one slot and it's used up
or OEM give 2 slots, but both same channel
