AMD improves Zen 5 CPU latency and performance with BIOS updates
AMD continues to fix Zen 5 CPU performance.
CPU reviewers have been reporting a higher-than-expected core-to-core latency across the Ryzen 9000-series of desktop processors, and now AMD has addressed this with a new BIOS optimization. “We’ve managed to cut the number of transactions in half for this use case, which helps reduce core-to-core latency in multi-CCD models,” says AMD.
