Windows 11 Update Brings Performance Boost to Ryzen CPUs (excerpt - BOLD added)
Microsoft's upcoming
Windows 11 24H2 update apparently gives a substantial performance increase for AMD's Ryzen CPUs. This is particularly true for the
older Zen 4 and newer Zen 5 Ryzen CPUs, as multiple tests have seen as much as 10 percent increase in performance.
According to hardware testing conducted by
Hardware Unboxed and
KitGuru, the 24H2 update gives an average
performance improvement of 10 percent for the older Ryzen 7 7700X and 11 percent for the latest Ryzen 9700X. Even the Ryzen 9 7950X, a previous generation flagship seen in
our best CPUs list, sees noticeable performance gains with the new update.
Another newer processer that
saw improvement was the AMD 7800X3D. It showed an increase when tested in certain games and is a great example of the Zen 4 and Zen 5 architecture receiving upgrades from this update.
Good to see MS make some code improvements for the AMD CPU
I might actually finally make the switch from W10 over to W11, now that my AMD 5950X CPU Rigs, will get better performance
