AMD is pushing Microsoft to release Ryzen 9000 performance-boosting update sooner
Reviewers weren't seeing the kind of performance uplifts AMD promised, but a fix is coming soon
In context: When AMD launched its new Ryzen 9000 CPUs earlier this month, there was a lot of hype around the promised performance gains across the board, including gaming. AMD's own pre-release benchmarks showed a tidy 9% generational uplift over Ryzen 7000 in 1080p gaming, and around 6% higher frame rates compared to Intel's best. But once the reviews started rolling in, not everyone was seeing those kinds of improvements.
