AMD recently released chipset drivers for Windows which are optimized for Ryzen 7000X3D chips and boost performance-per-watt. A new CPPC patch reveals power efficiency gains are also coming to Linux.
AMD recently released a major chipset driver for Windows 11/10, which brought performance optimization for Ryzen CPUs, specifically for the newly launched 7000X3D processors. The new CPUs required these optimizations due to the approach AMD took while designing these X3D processors. Although the new 7950X3D isn’t able to outright dominate the competing Intel i9-13900K, pretty much like what leaked performance benchmarks had suggested, the driver however helps AMD completely outdo Intel in terms of performance-per-watt and efficiency, consuming nearly half the power while delivering similar levels of performance.
