AMD just announced a few more updates that will boost the performance of Ryzen 9000 processors. This latest update is set to make the gaming and content creation experience smoother and more efficient than ever. According to sources, the new update brings with it some major improvements to power management and fan control. The result? Worryingly hot CPUs are set to become a thing of the past.
This massive speed boost from the new update means Ryzen 9000 processors now have a single-threaded performance increase. Although the exact amount of time this update takes to roll out remains uncertain, rumors are swirling that this may become one of AMD's most significant patch updates of the year. After the update, AMD claims this speed boost should be visible across all Ryzen 9000 CPUs.
While speed boosts can make even the most mundane tasks feel a little snappier, it is not just performance-focused applications that are due to benefit. Other key beneficiaries include gaming. Since temperature is a concern that has plagued gamers for years – with that noisy fan and the worryingly hot CPU being big concerns – the stability of these chips under heavy loads is undoubtedly something that is beneficial to gamers and heavy computer users.
Indeed, performance-focused CPUs have often relied on various tweaks and settings before use, which has typically been regarded as a chore. This, coupled with complicated software, left both gamers and casual users unhappy. This approach, on the other hand, tries to increase power without drastically changing the workload for these software tweaks, which we believe could give them a competitive edge compared to previous CPUs.
These positive trends in general computing have driven further innovation in performance-focused CPUs. This does, however, require you to get your hands on the top models and have at least some idea of what software to tinker with to achieve this desired performance increase. Despite these improvements, however, price isn't expected to change, as with the high-performance features in the previous generation, it seems history is about to repeat itself.
