    Which PMF driver is better to install for Ryzen 7535HS CPU on my Acer nitro laptop

    I notice the AMD chipset installer utility installs the PMF driver version from the extracted C:\AMD\Chipset_Software\Packages\IODriver[PMF folder. In that folder there are 3 folders titled: PMF_6000SERIES PMF_7040SERIES PMF_8000SERIES Now I notice the chipset utility installer...

    RTX 5090 4K Gaming build - Core Ultra 265K tuned vs 9800X3D - Talk me out of or for returning my 265K parts and getting 9800X3D parts at microcenter

    Well tuned Raptor Lake is great. Though to get there, the thing probably not totally stable and will degrade easily, and power will go through the roof that it will need exotic cooling. Heck even at more modest settings degradation risk is still there big time even with latest microcode. Latest...

    RTX 5090 4K Gaming build - Core Ultra 265K tuned vs 9800X3D - Talk me out of or for returning my 265K parts and getting 9800X3D parts at microcenter

    Yeah inte is a mess right now and bad place regarding CPUs. Is it as bad as Bulldozer even in gaming. No, but its not far off compared to AMD AM5 X3D parts. Productivity not even close to as bad as Bulldozer. Though extra power draw and extra heat dumped into case not good. And though Arrow...

    RTX 5090 4K Gaming build - Core Ultra 265K tuned vs 9800X3D - Talk me out of or for returning my 265K parts and getting 9800X3D parts at microcenter

    Well thanks for help everyone. I decided afterall to return the Core Ultra 265K parts and go 9800X3D. Simply gaming is a blowout in favor of AMD and Intel CPUs not in a good place right now. And games probably not gonna benefit much if at all from more than 8 cores anytime soon if ever. Any...

    RTX 5090 4K Gaming build - Core Ultra 265K tuned vs 9800X3D - Talk me out of or for returning my 265K parts and getting 9800X3D parts at microcenter

    I hate the dual CCD setup and scheudling quirks. Intel has all cores on one node and a thread director. No core parking crap where it sleeps other CCD using XBOX Game bar when gaming and thus games still cannot use more than 8 cores for the games that benefit. Its only productivity when not...

    For non gaming stuff that scales with more than 8 cores is it really a toss. I mean more a slaughter in favor of Intel. Its not like the cores on 9800X3D even if only 8 of them are strnger than Intel P cores on Arrow Lake unlike past situations where Intel won in games so easily with 4 core...

    Money is little to no object in this case just to start off Ok I sold off my Raptor Lake 14700K parts due to degradation fears months and months down the road as lots say even microcode update its just a band aide. And I really do not want to go through warranty garbage with Intel to repeat...

    32 core Ryzen for Zen 6?

    Wnat 12-16 Big homogenous cores on a single CCX withion a single CCD. Zen 6 I sure hope has it. Cause yeah software scheduling with hybrid still quirks!!

    How well does Intel thread director work for P and E cores on hybrid CPUs with WIN10 and WIN11 for gaming and apps

    Thanks for the advice. Stating you would prefer 12-16 big cores on a single ring/CCX/tile but not happening anytime soon on desktop like you stated. In such case do you think for thread heavy games Intel hybrid design with all P and e cores on same ring/tile is better than AMD's more than 8 Big...

    How well does Intel thread director work for P and E cores on hybrid CPUs with WIN10 and WIN11 for gaming and apps

    Is the Intel Thread director supposed to work seamlessly and make e-cores work well with all secondary threads in games so they work just as well if not better than if there were additional but less P cores. Like if a game thread beyond 8 (HT off) would use 10-30% intermittently of an additional...

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    Do you water cool or air cool Raptor Lake. Which one do you own and what RAM. What are your max temps? Just a gut feeling but trying to air cool these things is probably a bad idea. And probably best to keep temps 65C or lower at all times under full load with an excellent water cooler. Which...

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    Not so sure on Intel fixing it with micro code update with 13th Gen. I have even manually underclocked and had slight undervolt and differnet voltages applied with a 13700K and styill experienced weirdness issues anb instability at even enough voltage. Yes I think it is a blip and they will move...

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    At least the CPU was killed right away and you can RMA or return it then correct the SOC to be lower with a new CPU. With Intel CPUs, they may work then BSODs or WHEAs down the road and wonder WTF is going on. Well degradation and random errors and who knows what voltage if nay actually fixes...

    Long Boot Time for AM5 Normal?

    Yes its normal due to memory training on bootup. You can enable Memory Context restore and it will speed it up. However I leave it disabled as I use XMP and conservative (my own less aggressive higher numbers based on Buildzoids ones so not full blast with Buildzoid but use them as guideline)...
