precision boost 2

I don't really understand how eco mode reduces my at-the-wall power from 78W to 48W at idle, when at idle the processor is using far less than the limits of eco mode anyway? I tried eco mode and found my single-core boost improved to a rock-solid 4950MHz, but understandably dropped all-core...

For those of you fine folks that do not look at the new articles and reviews on the top of the HardOCP news feed, we published something that may be of interest to you in the wee hours of the morning, AMD Precision Boost 2 and Wraith Prism Deep Dive. If you are looking to get into a new CPU, I...

We have now gotten confirmation that Precision Boost 2 is working on Gigabyte's X370 AMD motherboards. PB2 = GOOD. We are working diligently to bring you more data on all of this soon as to what exactly it means to you and your cooling. You can read more of PB2 in our Ryzen 2700X review...
