I. Preface: Complementing Ruilong 2nd Generation AMD Introduces New Disk Acceleration Technology
Since Intel released the Core 2 in 2007, AMD has suffered a total of 10 years of depravity. Until 2017, the new framework of the Dragon processor was introduced, AMD finally ushered in the rebirth of Nirvana. In April 2018, Ruilong 2 generation as Listed, 12nm new technology plus Zen+ new architecture, complementing the disadvantages of a generation of Ruilong core frequency is too low, memory delay is too high.
Previously we have experienced two X-class Ryzen 7 2700X/5 2600X. After starting a month, the more mainstream Ryzen 7 2700/5 2600 came before us.
CPU specification introduction:
The Ruilong 7 2700 and the Ruilong 7 2700X are also 8-core 16-thread, 4MB L2 cache, and 16MB L3 cache. Compared to the 2700X basic/highest/full-core acceleration frequency, they are reduced by 500MHz, 200MHz, and 400MHz, respectively. From 105W to 65W.
The Ruilong 5 2600 uses 6 cores and 12 threads, 3MB of L2 cache, and 12MB of L3 cache. Compared to the 2600X basic/highest/full-core acceleration frequency, it has reduced 200MHz, 400MHz, and 300MHz respectively. The TDP has also been reduced from 95W to 65W. .
AMD StoreMI technology detailed:
Along with the second generation of Ruilong, the X470 motherboard that comes with the market offers a new hard disk technology, the AMD StoreMI. Its biggest role is to speed up the traditional slow read and write mechanical hard disks, and all AMD 400 series motherboards are now free to support. .
Traditional mechanical hard disks have large capacity and low price, but read and write speeds are very slow. SSD read and write speeds are fast, especially 4K random speed can be several times faster than mechanical hard disks, but high-capacity SSDs are expensive. AMD StoreMI technology is to The two types of memory are 'fused' into a single drive, and the frequently accessed data is automatically moved to SSD, allowing large-capacity hard drives to also have the same speed as SSDs.
In addition to allowing SSDs to accelerate HDDs, when the system memory capacity is greater than 6GB, AMD StoreMI can also set up 2GB of memory as a cache for a converged hard disk, further speeding up the read and write response of the hard disk.
This technology looks very similar to Intel's Aurora Acceleration Technology, but Ao Teng needs to occupy an M2 slot, and only 16/32GB, too small capacity limits the AoTeng acceleration effect on the hard disk.
AMD StoreMI in the end is a chicken rib or a revolution? AMD Ryzen 7 2700/5 2600 actual performance? Please see our detailed test.
