IT Home January 26 news, according to WccfTech reported that AMD Ryzen™ 5000 desktop CPU began to upgrade to B2 stepping in November last year, although AMD said that B2 stepping chips do not have any major differences, but some overclocking enthusiasts have found the improvement brought by B2 stepping.
As shown in the image above, the B2 stepper's Ryzen™ 5000 processor can be viewed on the CPU-Z, and most of the Zen 3 chips now produced are already B2 steppings.
According to reports, overclocking enthusiasts have used liquid cooling to test the overclocking of new chips, and the maximum frequency of the new stepping chip can reach 5.15 GHz. Compared to the old model, the new stepper AMD Ryzen™ 5000 has a 9 degree Celsius temperature drop and a 30W reduction in power consumption during overclocking tests. In addition, the memory compatibility of the B2 stepper chip is also better.
IT House learned that the CPU stepping "stepping" can be seen as the revised version number of the CPU, and the stepped version will change with the improvement of this series of CPU production processes, bug solving, or features. The larger the number of steps in a generation of CPUs, the more perfect they tend to be.
