Microsoft is testing Windows 11 beta that fixes AMD CPU performance issues – Computer – News

You could be right, nobody knows this except Microsoft, Intel and AMD themselves and they are not going to do the dirty laundry about this. However, it is well known that Microsoft and Intel have been working closely with each other from an early stage in developing a new version of Windows. Specifically for Windows 11, both parties have worked hard to make the new Alder Lake CPU line from Intel, with the mix of efficient E-cores and performance-oriented P-cores, work as well as possible by, among other things, developing a new scheduler.

So I think you can safely say that @dmantione may well be right that AMD hasn’t gotten the same attention from Microsoft to optimize Windows 11 for their Zen architecture as well.

edit: I would add that the engineers/developers at AMD really don’t sleep when it comes to optimizing software for their architecture. For example, AMD recently provided patches to the Linux kernel for a new scheduler for Zen CPUs, which better handles the frequency scaling and power management features included in the Zen architecture. Until now, AMD CPUs have been using the old Intel-developed CPUFreq scheduler in the Linux kernel, but with this new scheduler, Zen CPUs can boost better and still be more energy efficient, as they can downshift much further when not in use. turn into.
