The issue mentioned in the opening paragraph is caused by functional L3 cache latency which has increased by around three times on affected hardware. The programs that will suffer include those sensitive to memory subsystem access times. AMD noted another problem too, explaining that UEFI CPPC2 may not schedule threads on the processor’s fastest core preferentially.


Regarding the latter issue, applications sensitive to the performance of one or a few CPU threads will see a performance hit. The issue will be more noticeable on greater than 8-core processors that operate at over 65W. This issue should also be fixed this month.


hmmmm, whose fault is it this time? It screw up the future hardware review if true? what about Intel side?

Yeah, seems like this would be reliable data. And also notable is that this would be the opposite end of the spectrum from Steam survey, which is firmly on the extreme end of home users / gamers, vs. corporate PC use. It could also explain vast difference in WIndows 11 penetration.

Steam isn't a good measure either. You need an independent research firm to get conduct the survey. But still, the Win11 penetration is going to be low cause it's only been a few months and it's restricted on what machines it can run on. But all future machines and everything sold moving forward should/will be compliant. It's a free upgrade though and gaining market share quickly isn't as a big of a deal if it was a sold item. This is about the future of OS security overall.

Give it time, it will become dominant. My laptop is already getting Microsoft banners in the Windows Update control panel to update.

That being said, Today’s Windows 11 is very different from the launch version and works quite well.
