What I learned when exchanging my old Kaveri for a Zen+
Here is the overdue write-up for my CPU upgrade from :knlbeggar: Kaveri A10-7850K (2M/4T) to Zen+ R7 2700 (8C/16T) :gorge:. Original plan was to get a Zen2, but what can you do if AMD doesn't feel like releasing B550 boards?

The R7 2700 is rated for 3.2GHz base and 4.1GHz turbo.
I poked around and found that 3.4GHz base -25mV is achievable.
If I skip undervolting, 3.6GHz tested successfully and I wouldn't be surprised if the CPU also pulls off 3.8-4.0GHz...
Problem 1: When am I gonna need 16 Threads?
Problem 2: Once you play around with the multiplicator, you lose the Turbo.

So I decided to stick with Stock settings (hue hue) and slapped a -100mV undervolt on it.
Bring on ze benches. Brace for _slight_ differences :winter2019happybulb:

Annotations for Games
RotTR: Eidos completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up on their DX12 implementation. You get graphical artifacts. No cigar.
FarCry5: I detected an anomaly here. The 2nd run is somehow much faster at 66 fps. Got no clue how well the 7850K would do on its 2nd run...
Dööm: 200 seem to be a hard limit, it doesn't go any faster. Vulkan FTW!
GTA5: As the Pr0B3nch0r that I am, I tested GTA5 with vsync on for years :winter2019surprisedyul:
NS2: I learned that there was a major engine update in September, in order to actually compare results, you need to set Atmospherics to Low, as it previously could only be turned on or off)
