Tested: AMD’s Windows 11 Patch Wins Some, Loses Some

Clever.

AMD says that the issue could cause 3–5 percent worse performance in most affected applications, while some games (AMD specifically calls out those “commonly used for eSports”) could see performance dips of 10–15 percent.

That's because it's 3-5% on average. 'Applications' being everything including games, only the esport title games and some very cache sensitive programs were hit harder.

Go ahead and launch up your games and benchmark them pre and post patch, its single digit changes. People in this very sub have done this already.

If this wasnt the case, AMD PR would've fired back already to Intels benchmarks. They had 3 business days to run the same benchmarks and say 'Hey performance numbers are way better on the patch, here's what they should look like'. But it never happened. AMD doesnt have to prove Alder Lake tests were wrong, they just had to show their own product performed better than represented, it shouldve been easy if that was the case.

AMD doesn't need to prove anything as Intel will be exposed when real benchmarks come out, just like what happened with Rocket Lake when they declared wins in gaming, and it turned out that 5000 was better.

I honestly have not seen a difference in performance on surface pro 3 which is dated and a more optimum system which is 6 months old. Granted, I focus more on CAD software than I do gaming these days, but still my games have not suffered. Mechwarrior 5 melted a sub par power supply and it still moving along just fine with the updates and patches thus far.

The test are being done on clean Windows 11 systems. It's quite possible those that have upgraded suffer for any number of reasons.

When upgrading from 10 Pro to 11 Pro, my 5600x (paired with a 3080 FE both purchased at MSRP) had crashes, took a solid minute to boot up cold or on restart, lagged when opening explorer windows, and stuttered in games. It wasn't until I bit the bullet and did a fully clean install of 11 that most of that went away and returned to normal 10 functionality. Being that I'm on a 5600x with PBO and fast RAM, I didn't notice much difference for either of the patches, but the benchmarks were markedly improved.

If it's a stuttering piece of shit and the only thing that changed is windows 11 over 10 then it is what it is. Making fun of people that are frustrated makes you a soycuck, you're not clever or funny, but if it gets you some updoots I guess fuq it dud

I thought the issues pertained to tasks hopping between CCXs, which the 5800X has one of

I have a 5900X, and all the headlines have definitely made me weary. I'm gonna check back in a month or two and hopefully the reports of issues go away and I'll look through benchmarks

but for the average joe, if nobody told them about it, they wouldn't even notice.

Your average joe doesn't exist. Also, not everyone has the same experience, we're not programmed npcs set up in your shitty world scenario where everything goes the exact same way as it did for you

Don't cry baby boy.

Its been already tested by various outlets the difference between patched and unpatched is basically within margin of error.
