Windows 11 Update Brings Major Game Performance Boost for Ryzen CPU Owners
If you’re using a Ryzen CPU, there’s some exciting news! The latest Windows 11 update, known as 24H2, is bringing a significant performance boost for gaming on Ryzen CPUs. Reports suggest that some games are seeing improvements of up to 35%, with an average boost of 11% for many users.
AMD has been facing some challenges with the launch of its latest Ryzen 9000 series, but this new Windows update might be just what Ryzen users need. The update has shown great results, not just for the latest Ryzen 9000 series but also for older models like the Ryzen 7000 and Ryzen 5000 series.
For example, the Ryzen 7 7700X has seen an average improvement of 10% across various games. This boost comes from optimized AMD-specific branch prediction code, a feature AMD has been working on in collaboration with Microsoft. They have announced that these improvements will also benefit future Ryzen CPUs, especially the upcoming Zen 5.
However, it’s important to note that this update focuses on AMD-specific optimizations, so Intel CPU users won’t see the same benefits. Tests have shown no significant performance boost for Intel’s Core i5-14600K, meaning the performance gap between AMD and Intel could widen in favor of AMD.
Apart from gaming, AMD claims that this update will also improve performance in content creation tasks. This includes applications like the UL Benchmark Procyon Office suite, which reportedly saw a 6% performance increase after the update.
For now, the Windows 11 24H2 update is available through the Windows Insider Program, but it is expected to roll out to the general public around September or October. This update could be a game-changer for many AMD Ryzen users, enhancing their gaming and content creation experiences significantly.
Keep an eye out for this update if you want to maximize the performance of your Ryzen CPU!
