#Windows11 just experienced its first “patch Tuesday,” where #Microsoft issues a patch fixing issues on the second Tuesday of every month. This time around, many hoped the patch would include fixes for an issue with #Windows 11 that can tank the gaming performance of #AMD processors by as much as 15%. It didn’t fix the problem, though, and it may have made the situation worse. TechPowerUp reports that the October 12 Windows 11 patch nearly doubled the level 3 (L3) cache latency of a #Ryzen 7 2700X. This is the lowest-level cache on your processor, storing data streamed in from your RAM before passing it up to higher levels. According to AMD, the increased latency can result in up to a 15% drop in frame rates, especially in esports titles. More at the link in bio.
