Windows 11 Update to Enhance Zen 5 CPU Performance
Windows 11 24H2 Update to Enhance CPU Performance
AMD's upcoming Windows 11 version 24H2 update is set to boost the performance of its new Zen 5 CPUs. Launched earlier this month, the Ryzen 9000 series has faced scrutiny for not achieving AMD's promised performance levels. However, the chipmaker has announced that it will optimize AMD-specific branch prediction code within the 24H2 update, which is expected to roll out next month.
"Zen 5 will see the biggest boost, but this Windows update will improve performance for Zen 4 and Zen 3 as well, admits AMD. The company anticipates up to a 13 percent performance improvement for the Ryzen 9 9950X in Far Cry 6 and a 7 percent increase for Cyberpunk 2077 with the 24H2 update over the previous version.
Performance Expectations and Industry Response
Despite initial benchmarks viewing the Ryzen 9 7950X as a more attractive option than the 9950X, AMD is confident that the Ryzen 9000 series will deliver unparalleled performance in content creation, productivity, and AI applications. Reviewers will soon gauge the efficacy of this update and its impact on past processor generations.
