Linux on the 7950x3d

@level1linux I'd love to see an update on all of these r9 vids now that the bioses are finally stable and the free ram speed improvements!

7800x3d makes this processor obsolete

and i thought i had too many monitors, lmao every video is flanked by monitors like dude works for nasa

Damn, after 2 years of break not watching anything from level1 or teksyndicate a lot has changed, for the better!
Wendell you lost the bloatware and you look and sound great on camera! I'm gonna go on a binge watch spree of Level1Linux

so, the 7950x3d with Proxmox = legit?

ASUS claims all B650 and X670 boards support UDIMM ECC memory. I personally would love an overclocked 2x32 64GB kit of ECC UDIMMs but that seems to be a pipe dream.

ive had issues on ryzen9 where half of the polkit stuff is not functioning properly

just wish i could afford it lol

Anyway anyone can figure out how to check thermals? Pop OS sensors-lm can't seem to find em.

Cannot stress 'update your BIOS' enough, even for the non vcache. So many intermittent hiccups that I misdiagnosed.

One bios update, and so smooth, so stable.

Take care of yourself Wendrell.
Just one suggestion about AMD, please be transparent about the issues with Linux. I bought a config based on your recommendations in 2019 and I was (am) plenty disappointed with the power management on Linux.
Having random shutdown, no resume, freeze was not enjoyable .

I always went for AMD but don't fall for Opensource washing neither. At least Intel does their homework.

beside that, you rocks :)

Which Motherboard are your using in this test... also have you noticed an issue ( with linux ) on x670 or B650 or A620 taking up 6X~10X the space on m.2 Nvme or SSD? I have seen this on ALL Asus and MSI motherboards... curious what you have seen on storage/formatting when you check storage formatting.

I am about to get my 7950 X3D, would it run smoothly on Linux Mint?

Went with the 7900x3d, seems perfect for small time virtualization and gaming. :)

I have been with since Tek Syndicate and didn't know of you before, but through all of the years I honestly still get excited to see videos from you. You have helped shape my life for the better. Good day virtual friend who i've never actually spoken to!

hey you do look better.

eat nmn powder, alpha-gpc For Sure and creatine too for cognitive support. take beta alanine before workouts for better output. dont eat sugar free anything

lstopo is a cool utility I didn't know about.

Hope to see something in DDR5 with inline ECC. Far as my research shows it is on-die ECC and it is not ECC. They really should be using another term all together.

Do you have a video on the 7900X3D? I May have to run it until the 7950x3d become available again? Only place i can find an 7950x3d is Amazon some Scalper on there with them at $1349US!

I am interested in what the best dual gpu setup for linux is for multiple monitors. 6+

This is the content that really matters.

Nice...

I wonder if this'll hit sale pricing as fast as the 7950X did. 🤔
Actually went with a 7950X when building my SO's new rig last holiday season specifically because it was available at $570. Was originally planning on building 13th gen Intel but that was enough to nudge me over to AM5.
Also very excited to see how future VCache chips look. The 7950X will probably pull it's own weight until late into AM5's lifecycle, so I'm hopeful for what our upgrade options will look like when the time comes to swap it out for a newer option.
CPU tech is so awesome right now, and it's only going to get more exciting as Arrow Lake and Panther Lake enter the arena. 👀

Watching a lot of workstation and gaming benchmarks for the 7950x3D i dont really see the benefits for that massive cost increase
slightly faster compiles, slightly slower rendering, simulation workloads are a mixed bag but nothing i have seen is well in to the double digits
As for gaming it feels if you have a GPU powerful enough to not be bottlenecked, your monitor will be the bottleneck
Just, meh, if i was building a workstation today i would just go with the 7950X and not bother with that massive cache tax that does not realistically do much, or wait for the intel HEDT or even longer to see if the new Threadripper will actually exist

I'm really interested to see how this pans out on the Epyc side. The 7773X is supposed to ship with 768MB of L3. I'm assuming that will only be a couple of CCDs that have the V-cache on them (the math would check out for half of the CCDs having the V-Cache)?

This guy is a cool nerd

TDP is just a measure of how much heat it should dissipate.

damn these prices man

AM5 is a far better platform for the more muscular needs of Linux.

W/ its 24x pcie5 lanes vs 16x for intel, it all totals to 104GB/s vs 80GB/s

CXL is a terrific feature for VMs etc too.

crazy to think this thing has more cache then a hard drive in the 80's had STORAGE SPACE

The most important person in your life is yourself. Glad you are making you a priority :D

I just learned about a new command, thanks! lstopo!!!

Please make a video on IOMMU/VFIO, Wendell, I beg you. Also please include hardware

Wendell you look freaking excellent. You look so healthy and happy. Glad to see you taking some personal time. Your life is more valuable than reviews on hardware.

For video editing in apps like adobe premiere , after effects and DaVinci Resolve which CPU is the best for performance? I9 13900K , 13900KS or AMD 7950X or AMD 7950X3D?

Linux is a must..sure I also use windows but when it comes to choosing hardware i will always look for Linux compatibility

The guidance that 13900K needs faster memory / implying that it’s more sensitive to memory latency around 4 minutes in conflicts with the findings of hardware unboxed.

Can you passthrough the iGPU to the Plex container in proxmox?

Really glad to see Linux hardware content.. this is so overlooked and distribution reviews get boring. Hope to see more Linux hardware videos! Great job!

Could you test setting up cpusets to force programms to go to specific CCDs? I already use a script on my computer for when I play games, the game process gets one CCD, and all other processes that I have permission to get sent to the other CCD. This seems like a better option than just leaving a CCD unused while gaming.

I'm looking forward for valve to put a official version of steam os to build or buy a prebuild, what ever is more cost effective.

Super interested in ECC testing on am5, as well as info on the types.
It's a must for my next PC, but everything is hard to come by.

I'm curious do how do you think the 7950x would work with proxmox trying to cpu pin the cores in the 3d v cache chiplet to a single windows 10 vm and using the other 8x to share resource across multiple VMs and containers? Would you get same performance out of the box as a windows 10 bare metal?

I'm still on a Ryzen 9 3900x, running Arch Linux, and it still runs really well (for my needs). Still, I might upgrade to the Ryzen 7 7700x, just to see what it's like 😉

Nice work as always Wendell! You're like the Dr. Neil Tyson of Data Science! Glad to see you're feeling well and taking care of yourself! Keep up the highly detailed and informative content -- or take a break for other things too! Cheers

Wendell how good/bad is the iGP performance on the 7950x3D?
