- Microsoft Win11 22H2 caused performance issues on some AMD PCs
When the single CCD (CPU compute chip) of the 16-core Ryzen 9 7950X is activated, the configuration is reportedly capable of surpassing the default dual CCD 7950X. Each Zen 4 CCD has eight cores and its cache, so an eight-core Zen 4 CPU is capable of beating the higher core-count 16-core models.
As in the case of single CCDs, turning off SMT has similar results, with better performance with fewer threads.
The performance issue seems to be prevalent on Windows 11 22H2, and it seems that Windows 11 22H2 has a scheduler issue on the new Ryzen 7000 CPU. But it could also be a bug similar to the recent Nvidia driver error. Perhaps the GPU driver itself is not properly utilizing the extra threads. (Source: IT House)
