AMD announces a new update to address Ryzen 9000's performance woes ahead of Intel Arrow Lake launch, but it has already blown its early advantage
- AMD has released a fix for its Ryzen 9000 series to address latency and power issues associated with the chips.
- The firmware update is called the AGESA ComboAM5 PI 1.2.0.2 microcode update to various AM5 motherboard UEFI BIOSs.
- The update allows users to configure the power draw of AMD Ryzen 9600X and AMD Ryzen 9700X CPUs in the updated BIOS up to 140W to maintain the warranty.
- It also promises to improve the inter-core latency performance on the AMD Ryzen 9900X and AMD Ryzen 9950X, which use two Complex Compute Dies.
- AMD said the update had cut the number of transactions in half for multi-core use cases, which helps to reduce core-to-core latency.
- This fix should boost the multi-core performance that users experience with these chips.
- AMD's Ryzen 9000 series had a troubled launch, but improved performance could address the concerns of gamers and creators.
- However, the updated BIOS may have come too late to allow AMD to maintain gains made in the CPU sector, with Intel's latest offering expected imminently.
- The latest Intel Arrow Lake desktop processors are set to be released this month.
- A few months' lead time that AMD had to gain an advantage early on in this generation might have been missed.
