Intel Accuses AMD of Selling "Snake Oil" in Ryzen 7000 Series

Intel has released a marketing playbook comparing AMD's Ryzen 7000 mobile chips to snake oil, criticizing AMD's misleading naming scheme. AMD changed its mobile naming convention, labeling all of its mobile processors as part of the latest Ryzen 7000 generation regardless of the architecture they use. Intel points out that some of its own naming practices have been confusing in the past, but still argues that AMD's naming scheme can mislead buyers into purchasing older processors. While Intel's playbook may be aggressive, it highlights the importance of researching products before making a purchase.

"Intel Exposes AMD's Ryzen 7000 as Snake Oil in Core Truths Showdown"

Intel has launched an aggressive campaign against AMD's Ryzen brand, accusing them of selling half-truths by incorporating older architectures into their Ryzen 7000 series. Intel's presentation, titled "Core Truths," highlights the use of Zen2 architecture in AMD's Ryzen 5 7520U mobile processor and argues that relying on Zen2 may not deliver the same level of performance as more recent architectures. The campaign marks a departure from the companies' previous avoidance of direct clashes, and Intel's slide deck includes direct CPU comparisons to support their claims.

AMD Ryzen 7000 Voltage Issues Continue to Plague Motherboards Despite BIOS Updates and Warranty Changes

Despite releasing BIOS updates to address voltage issues on AMD Ryzen 7000 processors, GIGABYTE and ASUS have failed to keep the processor within the specified 1.3v limit, leading to potential CPU and motherboard burnout. The issue affects both Ryzen 7000 X3Ds and models without the 3D V-Cache memory chip. ASUS faced backlash for launching a Beta BIOS that could void the warranty, and GIGABYTE's X670E AORUS Master motherboards also experience the same problem. The usefulness of BIOS updates as fixes for the Ryzen 7000 voltage issue remains dubious.

AMD Addresses Ryzen 7000 Burnout Issues with BIOS Patch and Voltage Limitations.

AMD Ryzen 7000 & Ryzen 7000X3D CPUs show high power spikes even when running in idle mode, as discovered by Hardware Busters & Igor's Lab. The issue might not be related to the burnout problem but could be addressed by AMD & its partners in future BIOS updates. AMD is readying a new AGESA 1.0.0.7 BIOS firmware with power tuning & other optimizations that should address several issues, but the specific fix for this issue might have to wait.

AMD Addresses Ryzen Burnout Issues with Voltage Caps and New AGESA Release

AMD has issued a second statement regarding the Ryzen 7000X3D processors' burnout issues, stating that it has identified the problem and distributed a new AGESA firmware that limits the SoC voltage to 1.3V to prevent the CPU from operating beyond its specification limits. AMD is working with its motherboard partners to release a new BIOS version, and users are recommended to update their BIOS to ensure their system has the most up-to-date software for their processor. The changes made to the AGESA firmware should not affect the user's ability to apply EXPO memory profiles on compatible DDR5 memory kits.

"AMD Introduces Orange Sticker to Identify Zen 4-Based Ryzen Mobility CPUs"

AMD has released new partner materials to help customers distinguish between the Ryzen 7000 mobile series, which includes Zen2, Zen3, Zen4, RDNA2, RDNA3, and Vega architectures. Customers looking for Zen4-based AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs should look for an orange sticker on the laptop, while the old grey sticker will apply to Zen2 or Zen3 APUs. The orange sticker means that it is based on Zen4 architecture (Ryzen 7040/7045 series).

"AMD A620 chipset brings new possibilities for budget Ryzen builds"

AMD's A620 chipset may have limited support for 65W+ TDP Ryzen 7000 CPUs, and not all Ryzen 7000X3D are guaranteed to be supported by default. The A620 chipset does not support PCIe Gen5 interface, has fewer usable PCIe lanes, and does not support CPU overclocking. However, it does support memory overclocking and the DDR5 standard. The A620 chipset is more like the Intel B-series, with necessary cut-backs in place, and gamers should not expect full power limit to be available with all Ryzen 7000 CPUs and A620 motherboards.
