@Michael: Agree with BlackArchon, you are looking at the CCX core setup, not the Cores and SMT for each. You can't disable SMT for each core, only enable or disable it entirely.

Why not, if 4+0, 3+0 and 2+0 are possible? 6+6 should also be possible if 3+3 is possible.
With one CCX having four cores, 4+x or x+4 (with x <=4) is the maximum configuration.
Other reviews showed better performance for x+0 configuration instead of x/2 + x/2. That used to make sense, as data doesn't have to be transmitted in between the two CCX/L3$ pools (L3$ is still shared, so all cores have access, even the ones on the other CCX). However, some of Michael's benchmarks show the opposite, which is surprising.

Looks like they underestimated Zen for too long and when they realised that there is money to be made, they rushed and pushed out crap.Last edited by juno; 04 March 2017, 02:29 PM.

Interesting, very interesting. The "real" computing went as expected but holy cow at the Vulkan results with Dota. That issue should be inspected closely be developers of AMD firmware, Kernel, GPU driver and the game developers as well.Stop TCPA, stupid software patents and corrupt politicians!

CCX = CPU CompleX, consisting of four cores with L2$ for each and shared L3$. Ryzen has two CCX.
With one CCX having four cores, 4+x or x+4 (with x <=4) is the maximum configuration.
