AMD's Zen 6 Architecture May Target In-Game Stuttering Issues
Modern microprocessors come stacked with processor cores. This is great for lots of reasons, but many of the most demanding tasks we run on PCs are highly latency-sensitive because they are held up by fundamentally serial (meaning they can't be multi-threaded) tasks. As we've piled on more cores, these tasks have been let down by the relatively coarse per-core performance policies available to operating systems. Fortunately, there may be help on the way for AMD users with the company's next Ryzen family.
Famous Ryzen hacker 1usmus, the developer of DRAM Calculator for Ryzen and more recently the HYDRA OC application, has shed some light on a few new knobs exposed to the operating system and chipset software by the firmware for AMD's Zen 6 processors. Speaking to Videocardz, he says that AMD's Zen 6 processors have new capabilities, including Performance Priority and HighestFreq upgrades for CPPC, per-core...
