The X3D’s just have ridiculously overbuilt caches. That’s the main thing (that I’m aware of) that makes them so fast with games while still being cheap.
AMD just put more of that than Windows could handle to max out speed in games.
So I’m assuming (and may be wrong) that the windows optimization is just updating it so that it could plan for those insane caches and take full advantage of it.
That would make sense! I’m just glad they’re not doing their usual thing of not properly testing, not working with Microsoft, and then blaming everyone else when something breaks
I mean. I’m just assuming because linked article doesn’t give details and I’m not trying to hunt it down.
But that’s a likely reason why we could see 10% gains for the best gaming chip currently out from just a software update
Like, 10% doesn’t sound like much to people, but gamers will traditionally drop a couple hundred bucks for that type of gain, to get it on literally the best chip tho would likely be closer 4-500 because the price of performance gains is usually exponential at that level
Scheduler improvements. These improvements will be standard in an upcoming stable release, but with the launch of zen 5, amd worked with microsoft to get an optional patch released. Wendell with level1techs has some good content on the subject if you want to learn more.
I wonder what that fix is tho
Turns out AMD got off it’s ass and started working together with microsoft instead of complaining
nice

The whole X3d story is just crazy
