Windows 11 is already among us or at least among those who can install the new version of Windows on their compatible computers. And with the arrival, now for everyone, after going through the Insider Program, some begin to appear faults and problems. The latest issue relates Windows 11 to AMD Ryzen processors.
In fact, it is not something that is based on user comments on social networks, since the information comes from the same company AMD which advertises that Windows 11 can decrease performance by up to 15% in some cases of computers that are using an AMD Ryzen processor.
Waiting for a patch to fix it
Windows 11 can cause problems on computers with an AMD Ryzen processor. The company states that those affected may have performance losses reaching 15% compared to what the same computer offers when it has Windows 10 Installed.
Specific, AMD and Microsoft talk about different problems related to Windows 11 and Ryzen processors. The former can triple the latency of the L3 cache, which could cause 3-5% lower performance in most affected applications. For some games, the loss could be 10-15%.
These computers also experience problems with the so-called “preferred core”, which aims to switch threads to the fastest core of a processor. AMD cautions that users could experiencing performance issues on tasks that depend on the CPU, especially in the case of processors with more than eight cores around a power of 65W TDP, an acronym for Thermal Design Power or Thermal Design Power).

For now, both AMD and Microsoft are investigating these issues and work on a software update to resolve them, an update that may arrive later this month to try to solve those problems.
