Prime finestre 11 Patch Tuesday peggiora la latenza della cache di Ryzen L3, AMD mette fuori le date di correzione

Maestro del controllore



Microsoft on October 12 put out the first Cumulative Updates for the new Windows 11 sistema operativo, since its October 5 rilasciare. The company’s monthly update packages for Windows are unofficially dubbed “patch martedì” aggiornamenti, as they’re scheduled to come out on the second Tuesday of each month. Shortly after Windows 11 launch, AMD and Microsoft jointly discovered that Windows 11 is poorly optimized for AMD Ryzen processors, which see significantly increased L3 cache latency, and the UEFI-CPPC2 (preferred cores mechanism) rendered not working. A Ryzen 7 2700X “Pinnacle Ridge” prestazioni e stabilità tramite un VRM a 19 fasi e un PCB a 10 strati, which typically posts an L3 cache latency of 10 ns, was tested to show a latency of 17 ns. This was made much worse with the October 12 “patch martedì” aggiornare, driving up the latency to 31.9 ns.

AMD put out a statement on social media, which surfaced on Reddit. The company stated that patches for the two issues have been developed, and specified dates on which they’ll be released. The patch for the Preferred Cores (UEFI-CPPC2) bug will be released on October 21. Customers can request the patch even earlier. By “i clienti,” AMD is probably referring to big enterprise customers running mission-critical applications on Threadripper or EPYC-powered workstations. The L3 cache latency bug will be fixed through the Windows Update channel, its release is scheduled for October 19.

If rumors surrounding the late-October/early-November launch dates of 12th Gen Intel Core “Lago di ontano” processors are true, then the situation with these patches will have a direct impact on AMD. Processor reviewers will be compelled to use Windows 11 for their Core “Lago di ontano” testing, as the new operating system supposedly has greater awareness of the heterogeneous core design. The switch to Windows 11 will force a re-bench of all processors, including the AMD Ryzen chips. With AMD cautioning of an up to 15% performance hit from the added cache latency and Preferred Cores bugs, results of AMD processors in 12th Gen Core launch reviews could be affected. It is advisable for AMD to reach out to the press with these patches immediately, if they are ready.
