The AchieVer Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Windows 10 May 2019 Update brings AMD performance boost AMD-powered PCs get an upgrade Image credit: Shutterstock The Windows 10 May 2019 Update has brought some great new features to Windows 10, but perhaps the best change is one that didn’t get much fanfare – as AMD-powered PCs will now perform better with the update installed. This is because Windows 10 version 1903 – also known as the May 2019 Update – changes how the Windows scheduler tool works with AMD hardware. Previously, the Windows scheduler was causing issues that impacted the performance of AMD Ryzen processors. The improvements come from Microsoft and AMD working together to improve Windows 10 performance on AMD hardware – and an acknowledgement from Microsoft that Intel no longer dominates when it comes to PC hardware. Performance gains AMD also showed off slides that show the PCMark 10 app launches 6% faster with the Windows 10 May 2019 Update, thanks to Ryzen optimizations. There's also an impressive 15% improvement in Rocket League when played at 1080p.

The update should also bring faster clock speed ramping, and AMD’s Ryzen CPUs will be more responsive when clock speeds are changed – before the update, speed changes took 30ms, but that’s now been cut to just 1-2ms.

dipsetbrett Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I'm really beating myself in the head for taking my 1800x back when it launched for a 7700k.. I would love to have those extra cores now, plus things seems to only be getting worse for Intel AMD has been getting some good boosts lately. Think I will sell my CPU and MoBo the 5Ghz OC will only take me so far, but those extra cores and today's optimization seem like a good thing =P Just glad I didn't go for the i5 7600k that 4 core 4t has been getting hit. 8t do seem to help but only so much.. Mini rant no one care's about DONE. 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
