Complete noob to pc building and linux here, so I apologize for my lack of knowledge in both areas. I’m looking at building my first pc, and in addition to gaming I’m planning to use it to run Openfoam CFD simulations. The research I’ve done is pointing me towards the Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor and using a Linux Mint OS.
It seems like there are some issues with how operating systems interact with the 7950X3D. I’ve seen complaints about parking issues, latency from moving processes between CCD’s, and issues with the OS just not knowing which tasks benefit from higher frequency vs higher cache and causing reduced performance.
Solutions I’ve come across are all over the place and a lot if info I can find is from 2023/early 2024, but the most promising solutions I’ve come across are disabling the non 3D cores in the BIOS before gaming (and leaving them active for tasks like CFD) or using something called “Feral Gamemode”.
However I’ve also come across two recent articles referencing what a appears to be a driver that fixes these issues.
- Is there currently a good Linux fix for the issues with the 7950X3D dual CCD’s? Are either of the methods I’ve found effective?
- Am I correct in thinking that the driver (referenced in links) would fix the issues?
- Is the driver available in any Linux distributions? Is it available with Linux Mint?
- If not, is there any way to know when it will become available?
