Intel barely supports this anymore to me, and their SRIOV support has not been publicized anywhere from what I can see beyond a commit on GitHub. Furthermore, they are not including this on Arc dGPUs from my understanding, so I imagine Intel is moving this to datacentre GPUs only as well.

It used to be documented really well and Arch has a good entry about it too: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_GVT-g Not sure if you were thinking of something else, but both NVIDIA and AMD could really approve in this regard. There is no reason to limit sharing your GPU across VMS except to primarily limit platforms.

I'm not talking about GVT-g, which isn't used on newer Intel GPUs.

I wonder how this is going to look like in real world tests and if the motherboards will come as buggy as for 5XXX series, where it took almost a year to get a stable system. I am feeling a bit sceptical, as I am not sure if these numbers are that impressing in comparison to previous gen. I am worried that AMD is starting to follow the Intel path. Hyping up the new line up, while selling essentially the same CPU with…

I just got a 5900H laptop. Suspend doesn't work (black screen, no response to any input), nouveau oopses if used, no HDMI out. Until the nouveau driver runs and oopses, it runs hot.

Hoping things will get better.

That is a shame. It looks like the source repo needs support, but sad that they haven't maintained it that well.

Love that these include a basic igpu. Makes them much more viable for home server and low end desktops(when eventually discounted).

I personally suspect that the true reason for that integrated GPU is the USB4 support. Always having that integrated GPU allows for full USB4 directly on the motherboard without needing hacks like looping a DisplayPort cable from the discrete GPU to the motherboard. And I believe it's possible to render in one GPU but present the output through another GPU, so you could in theory even use a discrete GPU for rendering…

I had a quick look at x670 motherboards and the only usb4 support I could see is via addin cards with that hacky displayport in setup.

Any word on official ECC support? (And I don’t just mean it can use the RAM, I mean for it to gain the actual benefits of ECC)

I'd be surprised if it didn't support ECC; every gen since Ryzen 2000 has supported ECC (although it's unadvertised and you have to be very careful with motherboard selection). I currently have proper ECC running on a 3000 series Ryzen with an AsRock motherboard.

I’ve no doubt that the newer cpu will use more power, but the numbers are made up. They’re picked by the marketing department using a formula, and calling them “watts” to try to make them look like energy used or heat dissipated doesn’t make them real. They don’t correspond to numbers that you can actually measure in any way.

Whether or not what marketing calls it is accurate, Anandtech measure power draw in their reviews and (at least in this example) it's pretty well aligned with the advertised TDP/PPT: https://www.anandtech.com/show/15043/the-amd-ryzen-9-3950x-r...

They measured one “105W” TDP chip maxing out at 86 Watts, and another “105W” TDP chip maxing out at 144 Watts? That’s not “pretty well aligned” with anything.

I have 5950X in my desktop and it took about a year before the motherboard got a stable BIOS. Before that bluescreens happened to me on a weekly basis and connecting anything to USB had to be prepended with a deep breath and saving all work in case system crashes.

I think they only committed to 3 years of support, so not as good as AM4's 6(?) years

They never committed to that much support for AM4 either, so I think that's a good sign.

I'm bitter about trx40, myself.
