AMD IS PUSHING MICROSOFT TO RELEASE RYZEN 9000 PERFORMANCE-BOOSTING
UPDATE SOONER

Reviewers weren't seeing the kind of performance uplifts AMD promised, but a fix
is coming soon

IN CONTEXT: WHEN AMD LAUNCHED ITS NEW RYZEN 9000 CPUS EARLIER THIS MONTH, THERE
WAS A LOT OF HYPE AROUND THE PROMISED PERFORMANCE GAINS ACROSS THE BOARD,
INCLUDING GAMING. AMD'S OWN PRE-RELEASE BENCHMARKS SHOWED A TIDY 9% GENERATIONAL
UPLIFT OVER RYZEN 7000 IN 1080P GAMING, AND AROUND 6% HIGHER FRAME RATES
COMPARED TO INTEL'S BEST. BUT ONCE THE REVIEWS STARTED ROLLING IN, NOT EVERYONE
WAS SEEING THOSE KINDS OF IMPROVEMENTS.
