In the recent AMD Ryzen 9000 CPU launch, there was a notable difference in performance data between what we reviewers measured and what AMD did. According to AMD the major differences were due to the Windows version, with AMD stating that the 24H2 version that it used, offers improved performance not only to Zen 5, but to Zen 4 and Zen 3, as well. In this article I will check AMD’s claims on that.
When a major brand like AMD has to issue a detailed statement on why the performance data its engineers offered differs from what reviewers measured, you quickly understand that something is wrong.

According to AMD, the 24H2 update for Windows 11 significantly improves Ryzen gaming performance and several sites and YouTube channels claim(ed) notable gains. This triggered me to thoroughly test the currently best gaming processor, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, and compare 23H2 vs. 24H2 game data.
So, without any further ado, let’s proceed to testing!
These tests make no sense. You’ve invalidated them by not using like-for-like drivers. You’re not so much comparing windows as you are comparing driver configurations
No sense to you probably.
The performance difference between driver versions can be upwards of 10%. This test is worthless.
Show me your results proving that! That the OVERALL difference can be 10% between 3-4 month driver versions! Your comment is totally useless without proof!
i think your test have problem
you test on old , modify 23h2 not new defult windows iso ( you change many settings before )
you must instal new 23h2 publish 1 year ago , rathen test and will see 20% performance on 24h2
other thing , you must run game on 1080 medium quality (cpu heavy) not ultra max settings (gpu heavy)
i like see this test on AMD GRAPHIC CARD , i am sure when amd cpu ,gpu give more performance / price
Haha wait your saying they should test an un optimised install from a year ago? Which all gamers would have installed not tweaked to the best it can be?
that doesn’t make any sense.!
