Do you have Windows 11 and an AMD processor? I don't have good news.

Windows 11 was supposed to be "the best gaming system". Unfortunately, just the opposite. The new system makes AMD processors worse in some games.
Ah, Microsoft... It was supposed to be so pretty, but it turned out... well, it didn't work at all. The next problems haunt Windows 11.
Windows 11 not so good for gaming?
On the day of the premiere of Microsoft's new operating system, we quoted product director Panos Panha as saying that the new software is "really built for gamers." Now I'm biting my tongue because it turned out the other way around.
AMD posted a message on its official website warning Win11 users equipped with the company's processors. It turns out that the system does not cope well with AMD chips, so they have a noticeable drop in liquidity. As a result, games slow down by 3-5%, and in “e-sports games” even by 10-15%. But what does that mean?
Unfortunately, AMD didn't choose to explain exactly what games are at stake. “Esports games” include Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, LoL or DOTA 2, among others. So, we assume that these are games that are not demanding on graphics, but are slightly more demanding on the processor. The chip manufacturer explains that the problem is in those devices that support Windows, that is ... well, the vast majority.
AMD reports two issues. First, it is a sharp increase in L3 cache latency. This leads to a sharp drop in gaming performance. The second concerns "kernel preference" technology, in which the system can incorrectly allocate tasks to certain cores. “The performance impact may be more noticeable in >8-core processors with TDPs above 65W,” AMD explains in your blog .
The good news is that both Microsoft and AMD are aware of this issue. The Redmond giant has already committed to developing a patch to prevent the temporary crisis, and the initial release date is October. Recall that Win11 can also slow down the connection speed in the case of Intel technology.
