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.

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.
