AMD has announced that the upcoming Windows 11 version 24H2 update will significantly improve the performance of the new Zen 5 processors. The recently released Ryzen 9000 series processors have failed to meet performance expectations in most benchmarks. Following rumors that this could be a bug in Windows, AMD has confirmed that the branch prediction code specific to its processors will be optimized in the new version of Windows. The update is expected next month.
Here’s what we know
AMD says the next-gen Zen 5 processors will see the biggest performance boost, but older Zen 4 and Zen 3 versions will also see improvements. The company predicts a 13% performance boost for the 9950X in Far Cry 6 and a 7% improvement in Cyberpunk 2077 using Windows 24H2.
It has already been noted that the Ryzen 9 7950X was sometimes more powerful than the new flagship Ryzen 9 9950X. On average, in 13 games at 1080p resolution and an RTX 4090 graphics card, the 9950X was just one percent faster than the 7950X. We will now have to wait for the 24H2 update tests to confirm AMD’s claims of a significant performance improvement. Despite these early setbacks, AMD claims that the Ryzen 9000 series delivers solid performance in content creation, compute tasks, and AI applications.
