AMD Clarifies Ryzen 9000 Performance Issues and Promises Windows 11 Fix

Upcoming Windows 11 update expected to significantly boost gaming performance for AMD's Zen 5 CPUs

AMD's new Ryzen 9000 series faced criticism for underwhelming gaming performance compared to initial promises.
The company attributes discrepancies to differences in testing environments and the use of an unreleased Windows 11 update.
A Windows 11 version 24H2 update, featuring optimized AMD-specific branch prediction code, is expected to improve performance by up to 13%.
The update will benefit Zen 3, Zen 4, and Zen 5 CPUs, with the largest gains for the latest Zen 5 architecture.
AMD is collaborating with Microsoft to release the performance-boosting update to all Windows 11 users soon.
