  • No problem bubs.

    I think a reasonable assumption to make is that silicon quality improves as a process matures; a later batch Vermeer X CPU (like the 58/5700 X3D) may perform in some ways above and beyond it’s original spec.

    With that said, I feel it’s unlikely to reach your kit’s profile (anything north of 1900 running stable on the fclk for an am4 chiplet CPU is practically unheard of) but I’d be interested in how the testing goes, since I’ve not tried to tune on a new AM4 system in some time now.

    If you’re able to identify the exact memory ICs in your kit, you may have some better expectations; f what primary and secondary timings would work best. The only way I’ve been able to do this in the past is by looking up the memory kit part model or using janky, windows specific software called thaiphoon burner (which isn’t always accurate in any case).









  • naw unfortunately not. It’s kind of crazy that they nestle each individual engine within a wrapper. I’m not sure of this brings the api level to d3d11, or if they had to work to bring each engine up for that. Somewhat explains why MCC as a whole was so difficult to back port improvements to, like configurable FOV and weapon model placements, frame rate unlocking and interpolation, custom keybinds, missing assets and such.

    it’s kind of interesting seeing the player models rendered in UE when you use the customisation menus; everything looks so glossy and odd.









  • I see. I admit I sorely missed the app startup at boot control permission (app ops) toggle when it was removed from the Android permissions framework, but the new power and background software management framework eliminates the need for it.

    Also damn, you have a modern xperia? Hardware wise they are massively appealing to me. They have nearly all of the HW amenities I can think of (SD card slot, headphone jack, dedicated FP reader / button, notification LED, no camera cutout).

    If they supported bootloader relocking with sself signed keys, they’d be the perfect phone for me.

    I made the admittedly difficult discussion to move to a Pixel so I could use some of the most private and secure software possible on android with little effort or thought behind it.

    I sorely miss my headphone jack but at least I feel like I can depend on this tiny computer to not fuck me over with unfettered personal data collection (and save a lot of power in doing so, I suppose).
