AMD Ryzen Branch Prediction Optimizations Now Available to Windows 11 23H2
AMD announced that its Ryzen processor branch prediction optimization that provide gaming performance uplifts, is now available for Windows 11 23H2, through an optional update. This update applies to AMD Ryzen processors based on the "Zen 3," "Zen 4," and "Zen 5" microarchitectures, and essentially yields the kind of performance you get in the real Administrator account, on regular Windows accounts, especially non-local (online) accounts. Users should look for "Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5041587)" in Windows Update, which should begin showing up as an optional update. This update requires a system restart to apply.
With this update in place, gaming performance uplifts between Windows 11 23H2 and 24H2 should be identical. "We wanted to let you know that the branch prediction optimization found in Windows 11 24H2 has now been backported to Windows 11 23H2. Users will need to look for KB5041587 under Windows update > Advanced options > Optional updates. We expect the performance uplift to be very similar between 24H2 and 23H2 with KB5041587 installed," AMD said in a statement to Wccftech.

I dont put too much faith into these one month changes.
W11 23H2, OS build 22631.4112
Both with KB5041587
H:ZD's benchmark does not identify the CPU's and GPU's individual performance properly and I don't understand why, as Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Forza Horizon 4 and others can do this. Especially as it still makes individual fps claims for each. They just should not be there at all.
Nah no bad for you, I've just run this benchmark on too many systems at this point (dozens of different setups) and now know the individual CPU and GPU fps numbers are simply broken.
Free performance, thanks, i will take it
Just as the awesome dx12 perf for amd 580s with async compute
It's not something you need to consider, just like you don't have to worry about Spectre/Meltdown in processors less than 5 years old today. You have far bigger problems to worry about with Intel these days than Spectre/Meltdown mitigations, anyway! ;)
These are not the droids you're looking for.
Looks like the HDD is from 2006. That can explain why it don't want to talk with SATA 3 SATA controllers!
You either have a cabling problem or a hardware issue on that port, it could be that you came on some edge case incompatibility but it's odd, ¿did you disable SATA spread spectrum?, shitty setting that always did more problems than good.
I have older HDDs that i have connected to my X670 with no issue
The suspect HDDs, are before 2009-ish, maybe <2008?
Check if the drives have some weird jumper setting, early SATA drives still had jumpers, sometimes for spread spectrum others for power up in standby, remove them all or leave it as default
With USB, you can't tell that it's got a bad connection sometimes, unless you have at least one of the following symptoms:
Windows logs errors in the event log about the USB drive.
You have Windows on a USB stick and it loads very slowly and likely a BSOD occurs. Especially if it loads very slowly and then it reboots itself.
General strange slowness.
Explorer.exe crashes.
