The latest update for the Ryzen 9000 CPUs has brought significant performance improvements. The update includes optimizations for clock prediction, increased power consumption, and reduced inter-core latency, addressing previous performance issues.
AMD’s desktop Ryzen 9000 series processors, which faced criticism for underperforming, have been the focus of AMD’s recent efforts to enhance their speed and performance. One of the main issues affecting the CPUs was the lack of branch prediction optimizations on Windows 11, which resulted in reduced speed. To address this, AMD has integrated the fix into Windows 11 versions 23H2 and 24H2, as well as offering an optional patch for users.
In addition to the Windows update, AMD has released a BIOS update (AGESA PI 1.2.0.2) for Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 9700X processors, which increases the TDP limit to 105W, significantly boosting performance. The update also addresses inter-core latency on multi-CCD Ryzen 9000 CPUs, reducing the number of transactions needed for data sharing between cores on different CCDs.
Moreover, the latest updates enable support for PCIe Gen 5 graphics standard, upcoming NVIDIA GPUs, NVMe memory, and USB4 connectivity on X870 and X870E motherboards. Additionally, AMD has introduced support for DDR5-8000 EXPO memory, which reduces latency, catering to the needs of system overclocking enthusiasts.
