Konti palang yata ang available na Ryzen based laptops. Pero yung maganda are the ones based sa Ryzen 7 3750H and Ryzen 5 3550H processors dahil 4-cores / 8-threads sila.
Look for ASUS TUF laptops especially ASUS TUF FX505DU and ASUS TUF FX505DY series.
Does this mean na ang best RAM to buy ba is yung 2667C16 or yung 3733C17?
Yung chart ni AMD shows latency, so lower latency is usually better for gaming. DDR4-3200 CL14, DDR4-CL16, and DDR4-3733 CL17 ang may lowest latency times. Special mention yung DDR4-3733 kasi pwede na siya mag 1:1 sync with the memory controller which can run at (I assume) 1866 MHz.
Based on pricing mas affordable ang DDR4-3600 CL16 compared to DDR4-3200 CL14 which are using binned Samsung B-Die chips.
Pero mukang pinaka sulit ngayon sa tipidpc is yung 3200 cl16 kasi yung 3200 c14 eh doble presyo
Looking at memory kits na available sa atin, ito yung high-speed memory kits na reasonable pa ang price:
Kung hindi naman malaki masyado ang increase in price, tingin ko worth buying na mga high speed memory kits. With some tweaking or overclocking tingin ko pwede sila mag-run at DDR4-3600 CL16 or DDR4-3200 CL14 which are the performance sweet spots.
Masyado parin mahal ang DDR4-3200 CL14 memory kits tulad ng G.Skill Flare X kasi nasa Php 10K last I checked. Tingin ko hindi na worth it yung price premium niya compared sa performance increase na makukuha mo. Mas ok na sumugal sa mga DDR4-3600 or higher speed kits with high CL timings.
Anyway wait for reviews and tignan natin kung talagang plug-and-play nalang mga high speed memory kits ngayon with Ryzen 3000 :-)
I'm kind of looking at the Gskill Trident Z 32GB 3200Mhz CL16 which is priced around 12k. Yung CL14 version kasi is 20k+ (yung 3600mhz naman nasa P19,200)
Parang hindi worth it mag invest ng additional 10k for the CL14. or 7k for a 3600mhz. Iniisip ko na it would be better to just put the money sa GPU.
How would I know kung ok for AMD yung RAM na napili ko? (AMD certified)?

Yung T-Force Delta TUF 32GB kit nasa Php 11K lang and yung rated speed niya is DDR4-3200 CL16, you might want to check that out. Although yung sinasabi mo na G.Skill Trident Z is AMD certified so baka mas maganda ang compatibility with Ryzen 3000. Sabi daw yung T-Force Delta memory kits pair well with ASUS motherboards kasi qualified on ASUS boards ang XMP profiles nila. Not sure if it matters but it's something to keep in mind.

True, yung money spent for low latency memory has greatly diminishing returns. Most of the time mas sulit if you spend more on a faster CPU or better CPU cooling if you want more performance from the CPU side. Pero if you are thinking about gaming, yung focus ng budget mo should really be on the videocard. Mas noticeable ang performance increase sa games by spending more on a faster GPU instead of spending it on the CPU, RAM, or cooling. Although may balancing act din na kailangan to avoid pairing a CPU that is too slow for your videocard.
But having said that, kung sagad ka narin sa CPU and CPU cooling and you are still looking for ways to get more CPU performance, faster memory can help. This is true especially with Ryzen 2000 series since limited ang overclocking capability nila. No matter how much you spend on cooling or on the motherboard you can only get an extra 100MHz - 200MHz past 4GHz.

Sa G.Skill Trident Z series yung model numbers that end with GTZRX are AMD certified. Meron din mga memory kits na designed for Ryzen like G.Skill Flare X series. Before buying, good idea din to check the QVL of the motherboard to see which memory kits are known to be compatible. Mga memory manufacturers din like G.Skill and Teamgroup also have their own QVL data that lists which motherboards were tested with their memory kits.
Pero sabi daw mas maganda na ang memory controller ng Ryzen 3000 and mas optimized na yung circuitry ng X570 motherboards for better compatibility with high memory speeds. So I'm not sure if AMD certified memory is still needed. Pero I would still recommend going for AMD certified kits or mga bagong labas na memory models. There is a good chance mga memory manufacturers are testing their newer memory kits with Ryzen CPU's and Ryzen motherboards compared to 2-3 years ago. So yung timings / XMP profiles na programmed sa memory kits ngayon hopefully mas hiyang na with Ryzen 3000.
Kung satisified ka pa sa performance ng Ryzen 3 1200, no need to upgrade. Pero kung bitin na sayo ang performance, sulit na mag-upgrade to Ryzen 5 2600 since nasa Php 8,850 nalang ang price niya.
Meron mga bagong parating na Ryzen 3000 processor this July, pero expected na mataas ang initial prices nila. Yung cheapest model is Ryzen 5 3600 and best guess is nasa Php 12K ang price.
Also kung ang motherboard na gamit mo ngayon is B350 or X370, baka hindi din compatible with the new Ryzen 3000 processors. Kailangan i-check kung may BIOS update para maging compatible with Ryzen 3000 series.
dun sa mga G Skill rams, lahat ng AMD certified rams may "X" sa part number kaya kelangan makita mo yung actual part number to be sure na teste sa AMD....
saka mas maganda pa rin also check the ram compatibility ng mobo mo bago ka maghanap o bumili ng rams.... kelangan andun yung part number ng bibilhin mo na ram para gumana siya ng rated speed.
dahil big question mark ang X370/B350 mobos, targetin ko na agad MSI X470 gaming plus.... pero to be sure, antay pa rin ako ng July 7 kung may lalabas na bios update at CPU support yung mobo na gusto ko.... baka wala masasayang lang yung binili ko.
I think yung best performing Ryzen mobile CPU now for work use is Ryzen 7 3750H, so look for laptops with that CPU. If you can find a cheaper laptop with Ryzen 5 3550H then that's a good choice since very small ang performance difference between Ryzen 7 3750H versus Ryzen 5 3550H.
Just take note na 35W CPU ang Ryzen 7 3750H / Ryzen 5 3550H and they are not really meant for thin-and-light / long battery life type laptops. They are more suitable for laptops you use at an office desk or at home plugged in to your AC outlet most of the time. But they still have enough battery life to be used for browsing or typing emails while on the go or at your coffee shop. Just don't expect the laptop to last the whole day on battery.
Most of the laptops I'm seeing with Ryzen 7 3750H are gaming laptops... and they are very competitively priced compared to laptops with Intel CPU's. Not sure if I have seen a workstation-style / office-style laptop with Ryzen CPU, I think most are still using Intel CPU.
Edit: Quick example lang... this Ryzen based gaming laptop is priced at Php 63.9K
ASUS TUF TUF505DU-KB71
- AMD Ryzen 7-3750H (2.3GHz - 4.0GHz) Processor
- 15.6" 120Hz IPS-Level Full HD (1920 x 1080) Display
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti (6GB) GDDR6
- 8GB DDR4 Memory
- 1TB SSHD
- Windows 10
- Php 63,900
An Intel based laptop with almost equivalent specs (Acer Helios 300) would cost Php 78.9K so big savings din going with a Ryzen CPU. But to be fair most Intel based laptops with these specs are using a more powerful CPU (Core i7-9750H).
Very nice info from Computerbase. The MSI X470 Gaming M7 AC works well with Ryzen 3000 on AGESA 1.0.0.3
"On an Asus Crosshair VII Hero Wi-Fi (X470) the Ryzen 9 3900X with BIOS 2304 ran with the right clock rates, but the RAM did not want to go over DDR4-2400 - no matter which setting was made. That was no problem on the MSI X470 Gaming M7 AC..."
