AMD Vs. Microsoft - 2990WX CorePrio Fix on Windows 10

2019-03-07
and just ladies video I did a comparison between the I $9.99 ATX and I compared that against the risin thread ripper 2990 WX if you guys haven't seen the video I'll put the link up here for you and basically in the comments section thank you guys a lot for making me aware of this I would actually wasn't aware I've been so busy burying my head with all things tech yeah city in the last few months that I haven't had time to basically watch anyone else's videos out there and in my defense though I do have a direct contact for PR with AMD and they haven't sent me any emails relating to this issue with Windows scheduler issues or any fixes that could be applied but basically in a nutshell Windell and collaboration with bits um they made a patch or a fix in Windows 10 that essentially changes the way Windows addresses the scheduling issues in relation to the rosin thread River 2990 WX if you guys haven't seen his video I'll put the link up here also put the link for call prayer in the description below but a nutshell they found things were running much better on Linux than they were in Windows 10 and when they applied this patch they will then getting better results in Windows in an indigo benchmark and so as soon as I found out about this I immediately applied the fix and then I reran all my benchmarks and unfortunately I didn't find really any differences worth noting in fact the only noticeable difference was time spy extreme no longer worked properly after I applied this fix but the weirdest thing with time spy extreme was when I took off the fix and then reran the benchmark my GPU score was much higher than it was in the review so that was the only difference I found Wendell said it made a difference to 7-zip but unfortunately for me when I applied this fix it made no difference in the compression or decompression numbers and I found when I down clocked my memory back down to 2133 megahertz the results with 7-zip scaled in comparison to your memory speeds which in that case especially for the compression side of things in 7-zip does indicate that it is bound by memory speeds in Windows 10 now relation to Windows 10 versus Linux from what I research Linux is a superior OS at the core in the way it handles threads it's memory management basically there's less overheads in Linux than there on Windows 10 so things will run better in Linux in comparison to Windows 10 if they're the same program but without other way unfortunately we're going to have to go now the road of politics and I don't like going down this road politics is usually he say she say but it does relate very strongly to this issue here with AMD and Microsoft and this is where things get a little bit tricky because at the end of the day the 2990 W X was a CPU and I remember clearly being at the launch event and a lot of the other tech reviewers and journalists that were there can say the same thing practically I believe all those demos were set up as Windows 10 and this CPU the thread Ripper CPU the W X was targeted towards Windows 10 workstation users so based on what I'm being fed I then do my reviews based on the target consumer of these products and so I can't really change things around if you guys want me to test Linux with the 2990 W X I can do that certainly but please let us know in the comment section below what benchmarks you'd like to see or like what real world applications you'd like to see in relation to the 2990 W X and Linux versus Windows 10 I can definitely get that done for you we'll take a bit longer but if you guys really want to see it I'll make it happen but back to the point at hand there's CPU the thread Ripper CPU was marketed as a Windows 10 workstation CPU and when I am fed that information I'm then going to compare it against the 18 core Intel 99 80 XE in Windows 10 and run a variety of different benchmarks and then basically give someone an informed opinion based off what the numbers I've benchmarked are and in that case of yesterday's video the recommendation still stands exactly the same but here's where things start to get a little bit trickier because an antic it was spoke with AMD and they went on the record saying that it is an issue that they're aware of and they are working with Microsoft to get it fixed and so with that in hand you know that there is an issue with the 2990 WX in Windows 10 and that really doesn't help the end user who is looking to buy either the 2990 WX or the ninety nine eight exe that doesn't help them one bit if there's these politics going on between AMD and Microsoft at the end of the day a lot of people buying the twenty nine ninety WX or the ninety nine eighty XE are doing so they're putting out a big investment so they can save time and make that workflows more efficient and essentially get more product she done in relation to their work and so if there's a flagship workstation CPU that's been released and six months later it's still having issues then that really doesn't look good for AMD regardless of whether Microsoft's to blame or Linux is the Sapiro s people need to get work done and they buy these CPUs to get that work done faster I'm in the same boat as the average guy looking to buy these CPUs hence why my reviews are always going to be geared up towards that average consumer who's in the market just simply for that product versus another product of a similar price for example and that's always been my way when I got into YouTube and I was doing these videos and furthermore if these companies are having issues behind the scenes where they're sort of arguing and going back and forth and they've got issues then ultimately it's just the end consumer that ends up losing out which is the sad thing so I would like to see AMD make an official statement on I would like to see Microsoft even make their own statement on what is the progress and what is the real issue here because they say that Wendell was very close to the problem but I'm guessing he didn't hit the nail on the head exactly to what exactly is going on and I would love to find out what the issue is so I could go back in my review and inform people hey this is currently what the rise in 2990 w.x is experiencing here's the outlook for it and when it'll be fixed but unfortunately we don't have that information and basically in relation to the research thing I do what I can based on what's in front of me as I said in the intro I wasn't really aware of this issue to begin with and I do apologize for that but at the same time I think AMD need to get their software developers on this so they can work with Microsoft and then they can make a fix happen as soon as possible so the end consumer can end up winning instead of losing you guys it's a very sticky situation people are saying that Intel could be in cahoots with Microsoft of course if you guys have 100% solid proof of that drop links in the description below drop comments in the description below because that shouldn't be happening in 2019 and I guess Microsoft and also Intel know the ramifications of that but what is the real issue and what is truly going on here I can only test that when it's coming from the horse's mouth that is either AMD or Microsoft directly until I get those patches applied in Windows officially and it's supported by AMD and they make a statement on it then I'm just going by these sort of fixes that although they can make a difference I'm sure in my case of testing it just caused crashing in times by extreme you guys gonna close off this video saying that the fix the core prio fix didn't affect any of my benchmark numbers in Windows 10 also thank you guys so much for commenting and keeping it civil all the time I've really got to thank you guys because it's just it's a really good community we've got going on here and take your city we share thoughts and their objective thoughts there's not any name-calling or anything like that I really love the environment you guys are setting up in the comments I'm going to get back to hustling soon but to answer some other questions in the comments below I used the X 399 as rock fatality board for the actual testing on the thread Riverside and now the reason I put it at 3.8 gigahertz was I felt that that was the best speeds for the practicality because once I went up to 4 gigahertz as I said I saw the Palomita that thing went up to 770 watts for a CPU alone that's pretty scary even if it was stable at that I wouldn't recommend anyone run a CPU with that much throughput of power day-in day-out either as a workstation or anything else that's too much power I thought 3.8 gigahertz was even pushing the boundaries in terms of the Intel that went to 4.4 gigahertz with less power consumption obviously it's got 18 cos vs. 32 cores so I like to look at a practical level of overclocks when I do these tests and hopefully I did hit that mark in terms of the Zeus X 299 deluxe to actually use that on the Intel side not the AMD sides you guys thank you so much for commenting letting me know about these issues and also liking the videos it really does make me happy when the comments section is as civil as it is and yes I do apologize once again I wasn't aware of the core Priya fix at all I mean I may have seen a tweet about it but I maybe have been during CES or something and I just like a million other things on my mind where I just probably just flicked through it something like that but again unfortunately I'd love to see something official from AMD and Microsoft in relation to this issue and until then I just think we're drawing at straws and I don't know the exact issue and honestly I'm not gonna be AMD's beta tester for them so hope you guys enjoyed today's video if you did then be sure to hit that like button also let us know in the comments section below what you think about this whole issue I really love reading your thoughts and opinions as always and of course if you enjoyed the content enough may wish to consider subscribing and hitting that Bell notification as soon as the videos drop you'll be notified and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye you
