Windows 11 was released by Microsoft last Tuesday (5) and has encountered some serious bugs since then. errors in Oracle Virtual MachinesAnd High memory consumptionAnd Mixed reality hardware glitch And crash in the new Far Cry 6. Now, it’s AMD’s turn to issue a statement talking about a possible drop in the performance of their chips in the new system.
According to the same company, performance can drop from 3 to 5% in popular applications, with a decrease of 10 to 15% in “commonly used games for esports”. This is not good news considering so many AMD Chips Use on gaming PCs – including live streamers and professional gamers.
In the statement, AMD said it is investigating the bugs with Microsoft, with the goal of releasing updates that resolve the issue later in October. Of course you also have the option to wait to upgrade your computer to the new system.

What’s going on with Windows 11 and AMD chips?
NS AMD . statement It brings a table with full explanations (in a very technical language) of what bugs are causing a performance drop on Windows 11 PCs.
In short, there are two problems. The first and most worrying is the increased level 3 cache latency. This means that the CPU takes longer to access the data in the system memory, which can be a problem in online games that don’t require a lot of graphics power but do. To a great deal of memory – like dotta.
This is what AMD is talking about when referring to “commonly used games for esports”. After that, a 3% delay can make a difference. Imagine a 15% performance drop!
The second problem is AMD processor core management, which does not direct applications to faster cores as it should. This issue greatly affects performance on devices with 8 cores or more, but can cause low framerates Other computers com AMD.
Many CPU models are affected by these bugs, in the 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 series, as well as some EPYC chips used in data centers. AMD drivers need to be updated by the end of the month to solve all this – but there are a few things that depend on an update from Windows itself. For now, the same manufacturer is recommending that customers continue to use Windows 10 anyway…
