kuai technology reported on october 1 that with the official release of the x870e/x870 motherboards, amd announced a number of major news, especially the latency issues and architectural optimization of the ryzen 9000 series.

amd stated that some media tests found that the inter-core delay of the dual-ccd ryzen 9000 series was relatively high, but the scenarios they tested were rare and had little impact on actual performance, but even so, amd still made optimizations.

at present, amd has officially released the agesa pi 1.2.0.2 version of the microcode. all am5 motherboards, including x870e/x870, can refresh the bios and reduce inter-core latency.

amd did not disclose the specific improvement in inter-core latency, but according to previous tests, some dropped from 180 nanoseconds to 75 nanoseconds, a range of up to 58%, and some dropped from 200 nanoseconds to 95 nanoseconds, a range of 52.5%.

1.2.0.1

1.2.0.2

at the same time,amd and microsoft released the kb5041587 system patch, which can optimize the branch prediction of the zen architecture and significantly improve performance.

this patch was previously only optional;now it has officially joined windows automatic updates, supporting windows 11 23h2 build 22631.4112 and newer versions, 24h2 build 26100.1301 and newer versions.

it is reported that in addition to optimizing zen5, this patch can also bring certain improvements to zen4 and zen3.

according to actual measurements, ryzen 7 9700x game performance has improved by about 11% on average, and some games are quite exaggerated. for example, "gears of war 5" has improved by as much as 35.1%, "fortnite" has improved by 30.6%, "remnant 2" has improved by 22.3%, and "fortnite" has improved by 22.3%. star wars: jedi: survivor increased by 21.9%, "war of the worlds 3" increased by 21.5%, and "homeworld 3" increased by 20.0%.

at the same time, ryzen 7 7700x can improve performance by an average of 10%, with gears of war 5 reaching as high as 32.6%.

as for whether the patch will be decentralized to windows 10, it is currently unknown.

in addition,agesa pi version 1.2.0.2 microcode also officially unlocks the thermal design power consumption limit of ryzen 5 9600x and ryzen 7 9700x, from the original 65w to 105w. officials expect it to bring up to 10% performance improvement.

it also supports all am5 motherboards, including the new x870e/x870.

in addition,amd confirmed that on x870e/x870 motherboards, you can reach the ultra-high memory frequency of ddr5-8000 with just one click by opening expo, which is especially suitable for x870e.
