Windows 11 is officially a reality, and for 48 hours you can download it if your computer is compatible. But as is often the case with a new version of an operating system, this one is not without flaws. In fact, it is common and expected that there are many sections to tweak.

In fact, AMD and Microsoft have identified two problems: The first is that Windows 11 can cause the latency of the L3 cache to triple. AMD dice that the problem could cause performance between 3% and 5% worse in most affected applications, while some games (AMD specifically refers to those “commonly used for eSports “) could see performance drops of up to 15%.

AMD warns that users could see performance issues on CPU-dependent tasks, specifically on processors with more than eight cores and a 65W TDP.
A patch in place to fix things
AMD and Microsoft have already confirmed that they are “actively investigating these known issues to resolve them through software updates “. The two companies promise that both a Windows update and a software update are planned for later this month. to try to solve those problems, although the bad thing is that that translates into a minimum of two weeks of waiting for those who have a computer with an AMD Ryzen processor.
