Hey Asrock, please check out the performance-difference for APU's like 2200g and 2400g.

Really looking forward to this update to my ab350m-pro4!

It is explained here:

I reported these issues almost a full month ago, and some people said I was wrong and some admitted the problems you can search the forum here for the threads where I explained the issue lies in the AGESA power managment code part of it, and part of it in the SMU engine firmware.
Well hopefully ASRock releases the UEFI's with 1.0.0.2a in the near future

Cheers

Yeah, noticed that article my self. 

Though 1002a is brand new, so it will probably be a moment before it arrives.

I would guess that AMD's pushing hard, since this is basically fixing the whole platform of cpus.

I Created a support ticket asking if there was any thoughts about this. 

Guessing asrock's support maybe is not so fast, but i'll update here if i get an answer. :)

No need for support ticket, the 1.0.0.2a UEFI's are in the making, should release this month or early next month, they should come with many bug fixes also. Its just the waiting that kills :))

Hopefully Asrock fix on Tachi X370 the Memory Bandwidth Problem (25% loss with L.4.41,P4.6,L4.61 compare to P4.40) and fix Profilesaving (Profile not include AMD CBS Settings). 

Yes, Asrock Support say is an AMD Bug, but why hasnt the other Plattforms liks Asus and MSI Boards with the same AGESA and newer this bug? I hoppe asrock fix. Otherwise its slowly time to think about an other Board and a RMA. Other manufactor could fix Spectre V2 without loss of Memory Bandwidth on Ryzen 1xxxx.

Looks for Information: http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7953&PID=50294&#50294

The loss in bandwidth is due to AMD changing the 2nd and 3rd order default timings settings for the memory controller, some memory kits do not behave as well as other, keep in mind UEFI's in the 4.xx range are designed for Pinnacle Ridge/Raven Ridge not that much for Summit Ridge.
What memory kit do you use? I use a Corsair Veangance LPX RED 2400MHz kit and I can push it to 3333MHz with 1.4V with no problems, my bandwidth is still in the 50-51GB/s range with my 2400G, with latest 4.51 Beta bios, its still lower by about 3-4GB/s than with 4.40 but that is due to AMD's AGESA code, ASRock currently uses 1.0.0.1a, latest 1.0.0.2a maybe fixes the problem, but again its focused on fixing the Power Management bugs for Raven Ridge and offer new options and improved memory speeds for both Pinnacle Ridge and Raven Ridge, there is a user with 2700X that managed to push 4000MHz for memory with 1.0.0.2a.
It does happen on most platforms its an AGESA issue but you need to compare same memory Kit to know but it does happen on other manufactures as well

Take a look here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIkQCszgW5Q

There are many other bugs that need fixing on ASRock boards, I reported at least 11 bugs to ASRock support a month ago and they confirmed all of them, they are surely working on UEFI's with 1.0.0.2a and will release them in the coming weeks, I estimate somewhere between the Windows Sping Creators update release, thats when AMD will release Adrenaline drivers for Raven Ridge also. 
Almost all bugs in current UEFI are mostly due to AGESA and SMU firmware bugs, but ASRock has 3-4 bugs that are their fault, like FAN Control bugs, and thins like M.2 slot priority vs SATA ports, bad naming for SATA ports, you cannot disable SATA/LAN controller and things like that, but they dont affect performance and stability, just usability.

here is a screen with latest UEFI and 3333MHz memory, all default timings



Cheers

Asus and Biostar already released UEFI's with 1.0.0.2a, Gigabyte and MSI I thing have betas already available, ASRock is the last one without 1.0.0.2a so it should come, usually ASRock is the fastest in releasing UEFI's but X370 UEFI development was slowed down by X470 boards, if you check the FTP server you will see they released about 10-15 UEFI's for X470 boards in the last 2 weeks, X370 comes next

@Cristy6100, may you had a look at this results http://www.overclock.net/forum/26919753-post3220.html . I cant believe that just "my" GSkill Smasung B-Die had only an Asrock a AMD Bug. Again, this loss of bandwithd had the other vendor allready fix. And not with 1002a Update. Befor. So i really hope, asrock will fix it in the next bios version.

Your test arent with Ryzen 1xxx and not with the taichi. Are you shure, that your mainboard, the x370 ITX has the same issue with the Ryen 1xxxx? The "save" CBS settings in Profile should aso one error whiches was on all Asrock, but now should fixes, but on taichi it isnt (JZ did test the other Mainbaords, mybe you know him).

And by honest, iam arround 42000 with 3466-16 and you are around 49000 with 3333-16. i would clame about loss 2 or 3 % but i do loss more as 25% with the new bios. 

Look at this result. for me it look like a asrock "bug" or and amd bug and all other vendor has found a workaround:

Asrock other Board:
