Since the release of AMD ZEN CPU architecture products, the entire product line is gradually getting back on track, Intel loneliness leader for many years of the X series finally has a side by side competitors, regardless of the mainstream or fever areas.
AMD ThreadRipper platform in addition to the highest-end consumer-level 16-core, respectively, 12-core, 8-core of these two products.
As previously tested on the 1950X, for a typical home and entry-level workstations, the 16-core will encounter the problem that the software can not feed the CPU. Therefore, whether the 12-core 1920X is likely to be a product with a higher CP value or whether it is actually tested Let's talk
Product appearance description:
Prior to the evaluation of the 1950X has introduced the packaging and appearance of TR4 series processors, here is a brief introduction. 1920X and 1950X appearance, AMD for the first time in the consumer products launched LGA package. (Pin on the motherboard base )
The main difference between the two is the top cover of the screen, respectively, 1920X and 1950X.
TR4 CPU is still very huge, has quickly caught up with a 2.5-inch SSD.
Motherboard platform introduction:
The last 1950X test is using the flagship X399-ZE motherboard ROG, is a relatively publicity style of the product.
This test uses Gigabyte's X399-DESIGNARE EX, which is a relatively restrained product, just to feel the different brands of X399 design understanding of what's the difference.
Compared with ROG ZE E-ATX architecture, Gigabyte's X399 ATX architecture is used, the motherboard will be more compact.
The back of the motherboard also has a metal backplane.
The motherboard accessories all disassembled, you can really feel the AMD stand up, finally AMD has a flagship product line.
CPU base or TR4 architecture.
CPU auxiliary power supply for the 8 +4 design, the same feeling is to do a dual interface, it might as well do 8 +8 better.
CPU power supply for the 8-phase digital power supply, using the IR digital power supply scheme. Power supply control chip IR35201, the input capacitor for the ceramic capacitors, power MOS for each phase of an IR 3556M, power supply inductance of a R15 Chip inductors, the output capacitance of 8 680 micro-polymer capacitors.
Memory section or four eight DDR4 memory slots, can support ECC.
Memory power supply is a 2-phase design. Two-phase memory is also used for power supply IR digital power supply scheme. The power supply control chip IR3570A, the input capacitor for the ceramic capacitors, power MOS for each phase of an IR 3553M, power supply inductance of a The chip inductor R30, the output capacitance of 680 microfarads of polymer capacitance. Next to the two-phase power supply for the CPU VCC, using 35201 3556M the IR program.
Because the motherboard power supply part of the space is very small, so part of the input ceramic capacitors and the output of the polymer capacitors are on the back of the motherboard.
On the current motherboard, in addition to some of ASRock's demon board generally do not have such a large degree of integration, so you can find the motherboard material and conventional products have a greater distinction.
From the overall power supply materials, ROG and Gigabyte in the CPU power supply part of the material is roughly the same, but the memory and VCC power Gigabyte is obviously more heap more ruthless.
Motherboard chipset compared to Intel in the packaging of a much higher, more interesting is this chipset is actually produced in Taiwan.
Chipset is also equipped with two independent power supply, but the two-phase power supply is relatively simple.
The motherboard's graphics slot for a total of 6, can support 4 card group crossfire. Individuals prefer this multi-PCI-E motherboard, looked comfortable.
Similar to the ROG design, this product's rear window bezel is also pre-booked on the motherboard. Here's a brief overview of the motherboard interface material composition.
This motherboard rear window is more distinctive is Wi-Fi, USB 3.1, dual NIC and USB Q-FLASH.
Motherboard Wi-Fi card type, network card model is 8265N.
The dual-NIC motherboard is a dual Intel program (who AMD does not do network card), models are I211AT.
The X399 chipset natively supports USB 3.1, but due to signal length limitations, two REDRIVER chips and a Type-C chip can be seen behind the interface.
Audio system is relatively speaking, the relatively basic, ALC1220 + audio capacitor program compared to ROG ZE 1220 + 9018DAC + audio capacitor program, or there is a clear gap.
The front of the motherboard has a USB 3.0 7 socket that can support the Type-C interface on the chassis, but only take USB 3.0. Type-C promotion is not to force the case, the feeling of use is very limited. A thunder and lightning card socket, this thing may be used to design users.
The motherboard's disk interface is 8 SATA 3.0.
There are three motherboard M.2, all covered by heatsink.
Not many places with lights on the motherboard, mainly in the nameplate of the chipset heatsink.
In general, Gigabyte motherboard and ROG style difference is relatively large, especially after the light. ROG will become more publicity and gorgeous, Gigabyte is relatively restrained and stable. If you think GAMING too fancy, this is a good choice .
Both the CPU and CPU power supply are roughly the same, but the memory and VCC power Gigabyte will be better. Audio section is the ROG higher specifications.
The version of the model, personally prefer Gigabyte standard ATX, the choice of the chassis will be more friendly. GIGABYTE disk interface SATA more, but ASUS will keep a U.2, personally think Gigabyte can actually consider the loss of a M .2 into U.2, this is more abundant and reasonable.
Gigabyte this relatively closer to the workstation style, if ASUS can out of X399-WS, I believe it will be more contrast.
