1000-series (Summit) and 2000-series (Pinnacle) were monolithic designs (everything is on a single die).

5700X is chiplet design (separate Core+Cache Die and an IOD, connected through a magical high-speed interface going through the package). So the slightly disappointing memory latency is probably not too surprising. But if you're comparing against others with the similar setups, I wonder if there are more tweaking you can do with the DRAM timings.

I'd say you're still much better off, even disregarding the massive Zen1->Zen3 Core improvements, because you had 8MB L3 per 4-Cores before (4Core+8MB | 4Core+8MB), whereas you now have full 32MB L3 directly usable by all 8-Cores.

The only strange thing is memory latency in AIDA64 tests, thought it would be lower for my XMP 3200 16: from 77.6 ns it lowered only to 70.9 ns. ]]> Tue, 04 Jul 2023 18:15:06 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=26080&PID=106459&title=asrock-ab350-pro-4-upgrade-to-ryzen-5700x#106459 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=26080&PID=106458&title=asrock-ab350-pro-4-upgrade-to-ryzen-5700x#106458 Author: edwvee

Thanks. It worked out. Haven't yet checked it in stability tests, but in games everything works fine. And FPS is like in 5700/5800x reviews.]]> Tue, 04 Jul 2023 18:10:18 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=26080&PID=106458&title=asrock-ab350-pro-4-upgrade-to-ryzen-5700x#106458 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=26080&PID=106401&title=asrock-ab350-pro-4-upgrade-to-ryzen-5700x#106401 Author: eccential

Is it possible to upgrade from Ryzen 1700 to Ryzen 5700x with this motherboard? If yes then what is the sequence of BIOS upgrades?]]> Wed, 28 Jun 2023 20:51:59 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=26080&PID=106386&title=asrock-ab350-pro-4-upgrade-to-ryzen-5700x#106386
