AMD has already promised, with the active support of game developers, to optimize the latter to improve performance with the latest Ryzen 7 processors, and a new publication on the corporate blog pages continues to demonstrate the openness of Zen architecture processors developer for criticism and the readiness to improve products and related software.
To begin with, AMD questions the allegations of incorrect operation of Windows 10 in multi-threaded mode when using Ryzen 7 processors. The reports that this operating system is "confused in threads" and reduces performance in comparison with Windows 7, it considers untenable. All the fault, in addition to the completely acceptable differences at the level of operating systems, is the use of outdated version Coreinfo utility, with the help of which they tried to collect "evidence
base". If you run version 3.31 of this utility on a system based on Ryzen 7 running Windows 10, then no serious deviations will be detected.
AMD also calls for the correct interpretation of the readings of the temperature sensor of the Ryzen 7 processors. The fact is that in the models with the "X" in the title (Ryzen 7 1700X and Ryzen 7 1800X), a built-in temperature sensor initially contains a delta of 20 degrees Celsius, Control the operation of the fan of a regular cooler, which these models of processors in a number of complete sets are equipped with. The younger Ryzen 7 processor 1700 has no such "temperature markup".
Finally, the impact of the Windows energy profile on the speed of Ryzen 7 processors is recognized by AMD as a significant factor. It really recommends switching to High Performance mode, since in this case the effect of energy-saving functions, which tend to offload the processor cores, is leveled out. In the profile of Balanced, this effect can be traced clearly, but soon the Windows update will come out, which will smooth out the negative effect. We just need to wait until the beginning
of April.
AMD believes that the activation of multi-threaded processors Ryzen 7 does not cause a decrease in performance in games. It either remains at the same level, or increases. Nevertheless, work on this problem is being carried out, and soon it will be possible to talk about the positive impact of SMT in more cases. Related Products :
