AMD Ryzen 9000 Series "Zen 5" Tested on Windows 11 24H2 Update, Shows Significant Performance Gains

AMD's Ryzen processors have received a significant performance upgrade, thanks to the recent Windows 11 24H2 update. This development addresses initial disappointments with the Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" series performance, particularly in gaming applications. The update, which improves branch prediction capabilities, has resulted in substantial gains for both the Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" and Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" CPU lineups. According to tests by Hardware Unboxed, Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" CPUs have shown double-digit performance increases across multiple game titles, a boost typically seen only between generational upgrades.

Interestingly, contrary to AMD's initial claims, the performance gains are not limited to the Zen 5 architecture. The Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" processors have also benefited from the update, with minimal performance differences observed between comparable Zen 5 and Zen 4 models after the update. This development marks a crucial turning point for AMD, addressing earlier criticisms and narrowing the gap between reported and expected performance figures. As users install the Windows 11 24H2 update, they can expect enhanced gaming experiences across a wide range of titles, highlighting the complex interplay between hardware capabilities and software optimization in modern computing. Below are the results from Hardware Unboxed benchmarks.

_roman_I'm a bit dissapointed. I read Windows 11 24H2. My windows did not update to that Version recently. Everyone claims to be using a newer windows Version which my box does not update itself to with the build in Windows 11 Pro "Windows Update Option".

It seems that Windows 11 24H2 is not obtainable without "hacks" or extra work.

I updated a few days ago. Yesterday I checked with the command "winver". I'm stuck at another version. Windows 11 Pro had here the problem, I had to upgrade the version manually, last time, around October 2023-February 2024. Could be the issue that I do not use a Microsoft Email adress for the windows login option, secure boot or TPM.


According to 20 minutes websearch yesterday, how to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro 24H2.
  • windows insider -> which most likely needs a microsoft accoutn and you are instantly loocked out or locked in with that email adress - which is bad in my point of view
  • download an ISO -> Not sure if that ISO is already available to the public -> there are different informations for that. -> still unclear if this is a safe and official iso or not.
  • different websites claim, W11 24H2 may be released in September or October. I assume year 2024.
Yes - I read it somewhere. It affects different processor "versions" and w10 and w11. It is a generic hidden performance penalty bug.

It seems to be this - I have not tested it - check before you use it: www.neowin.net/news/windows-hidden-admin-account-apparently-boosting-amd-ryzen-90007000-performance/
or www.howtogeek.com/962/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/
A 1 minute Google search reveals that this performance patch was also back ported to the latest update on 23H2. 22H2 will get it soon. 24H2 is currently only being deployed to Copilot capable computers, with the rest coming later this year.
