Although AMD’s new CPUs are some of the best processors, they don’t offer that much of an uplift when compared to their last-gen counterparts.
The reason might lie in a recently discovered Windows bug that affects Ryzen gaming performance. This could mean that Zen 5 is more impressive than it seems at a glance.
Recommended Videos The scoop comes from Hardware Unboxed. When testing the new Ryzen 7 9700X, the YouTubers noticed that there were some inconsistencies between their benchmark results and what AMD was expecting to see. It was only a matter of a few percentagr points, but it was there. Finally, AMD inquired whether Hardware Unboxed was using an administrator account in Windows.
In The Last of Us Part 1, things are much the same, with a 6% boost for the Ryzen 7 9700X and a 5% boost for the Ryzen 7 7700X. The last-gen CPU was faster before, and it remains faster now with the bug “fixed.” Hogwarts Legacy resulted in a major uplift for the Ryzen 7 9700X, going up from 110 fps to 121 fps and putting it ahead of its last-gen counterpart, whereas before the two chips were even.
