AMD applies for DRAM memory overclocking automation patent
The most important thing is that users may not be able to achieve the best overclocking state by exploring and adjusting parameters by themselves, so Intel has its own XMP technology. This technology uses software to automatically optimize the overclocking scheme to achieve one-click overclocking, allowing novice users to quickly overclock. However, even Intel’s XMP technology cannot guarantee the stable operation of the system. For professional users, it may be necessary to adjust the parameters to achieve stable operation of the system.
Automated stability tests include ECC error-correcting codes and other tests designed to detect errors, and once frequency and timing-based tests are complete, the tool sets and generates a new RAM profile for the sub-timing based on the PC hardware.
Of course, as a manufacturer, AMD will provide users with the best solution, but it will definitely avoid potential risks. Therefore, AMD’s software will definitely prioritize stability and performance based on risk considerations.
So for overclockers, you may have to manually adjust to get the best performance in the end, but for novice users, this will be much more convenient. After all, there seems to be no need for overclocking for most users, or there is no need to squeeze the last bit of performance out of the hardware.
