A week ago, AMD representative said that a new update of the package AMD Generic Encapsulated Software Architecture (AGESA) is ready, on the basis of which the BIOS of motherboards for Ryzen processors should be fixed. More precisely, with the help of the BIOS, some of the shortcomings committed in the design of processors on the Zen architecture will be eliminated. Among other improvements, the first correction of AGESA included correction of the status of the consumption mode of the AMD Ryzen
platform running Windows 10. Soon, when setting up the consumption plan in Windows 10 , one of three conditions will appear : balanced standard, balanced for AMD Ryzen and a plan for high performance .
Installing the driver and selecting the "High Performance" plan does two interesting things. First, the latency and switching threshold of Ryzen processors are reduced to a new state of P-States (combination of supply voltage and clock frequency). In other words, Ryzen processors return to productive work more quickly and aggressively. Secondly, idle core are more actively involved in the work. For example, if you choose a balanced work before the load exceeds 10%, only one
core of eight wakes up (one physical and the second SMT). The choice of the plan "High Performance" forces immediately to include a greater number of cores, which may be needed in games. So this is an effective innovation, you can judge from the chart below, which compares the system performance when choosing the "High Performance" and "AMD Ryzen Balanced" plans.
So far, as we can see, the winnings are small, but it costs nothing for users . Related Products :
