The first big Windows patch 11 Tuesday is in the books. Although the patch fixed many problems, made a performance hurdle with AMD CPUs worse than before the patch, which is never a good thing.
Last week, we reported that some AMD Ryzen CPUs were slower on Windows 11. With the release of the new patch, Microsoft fixed some annoying Windows problems 11, as the problem with the Intel Killer network, but it seems to have caused the AMD problem. worse.
The latest patch was not meant to fix the AMD issue yet, since that fix is scheduled for later this month. Despite this, It seems unlikely that making the problem worse was in Microsoft's or AMD's plans. That means anyone running AMD Ryzen CPUs should keep waiting to upgrade to Windows. 11, since performance issues can be quite substantial, especially for gamers.
TechPowerUp, who did the tests and first reported that the problems were getting worse, said: "In our own tests, a Ryzen processor was tested 7 2700X ‘Pinnacle Ridge’, which regularly publishes an L3 cache latency of 10 ns, to show a latency of 17 ns. This got a lot worse with the 'Patch Tuesday update’ of 12 October, which increased the latency to 31,9 ns “.
That is a substantial difference and one that you will definitely notice after downloading and installing Windows. 11 on your pc. As much as nobody likes to wait, the performance you'll retain if you stick with Windows 10 makes it worth the wait.
According to an AMD post that was shared on Reddit, the patch for the preferred kernel bug will arrive via a driver update on 21 October 2021. The L3 cache latency problem (which is the one that got worse with this patch) will come through a Windows Update on 19 October 2021.
