No, the stability issues they're talking about are on a release day 1800X. It's not memory issues, and I've never had memory issues with either of my Ryzen processors.
This is the issue they're certainly talking about: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ryzen-Segv-Response https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ryzen-Se...
And it is assuredly not a problem with any Ryzen processors manufactured after the very first few months.
- m0zg 7y agoSo I must be imagining my problems with Threadripper memory kits as of early this year as well as my coworkers problems with his 1800X. Hmm, OK then. HN knows best.
- IronBacon 7y agoThere was also a problem with P-states and Ryzen CPUs crashing/stalling in idle, but only with Linux kernels. I never experienced it myself but in my BIOS there's an option about "power on idle" that's suggested to not turn off for compatibility (I don't recall the correct words but I could check). It usually depends on MB manufacturers and BIOS/AGESA versions.
- readittwice 7y agoWell, there are some stability issues with my ryzen 2700x. At first there were CPU freezes in idle on Linux: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196683 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196683. After applying workarounds, I still see some strange crashes, not sure if at least some of those are still related to the CPU hangs from the bug above. TBF this might not be the CPU's fault. This is all quite annoying to me and time intensive to investigate (where do I even start?). Even though I really like AMD's tech I am quite frustrated and I haven't had these problems with my previous Intel builds so far...
