Preparing for AMD Zen 5
As you already know, at Hybula we're always innovating and trying to offer the best service for our customers. We are one of the first providers getting the new Ryzen Zen 5 based CPUs, specifically the 9600X and 9700X. They where released on Friday 9-AUG-2024 in the Netherlands, and we received them on the same they. Of course the first thing we did was trying it in one of our AM5 based servers, but unfortunately it didn't boot with ARR B650D4U, and also not with Supermicro's H13SAE-MF. This probably meant that the BIOS needed to be updated in order to support the new Ryzen CPUs, so this is what we did and it worked with both motherboards. As we run the Supermicro motherboards for our hypervisors, we did some benchmarking as soon as possible and the results are promising:
