AMD Ryzen Branch Prediction Optimizations Now Available to Windows 11 23H2

[cerulliber]

Gaming community has already embraced Win11 by looking at Steam numbers (as flawed as they are being opt-in).

Steam Survey July 2024 Update: Windows 10 Usage Records Uptick, Windows 11 Drops | TechPowerUp
TPU wroted that Windows 10's share rose to 47.69%, marking a significant uptick that contrasts with Windows 11's decline to 45.73%
once they push KB5041587 as mandatory update or release 24H4 home/pro rtm situation will change after win11 is faster youtube videos.
KB5041587 it's an optional update, so they not pushing it yet to public.
HUB benchmarks arent' by updating stable windows, they benchmarked by downloaded beta 24H2 which is not stable yet. moreover, for 24h2 iot enterprise rtm(factory debloated) there is no KB5041587 . this one is the only 24H4 I've found not beta (RTM).
if you want to replicate HUB methology, first step is to install an beta windows.which I don't want to.
also, please note that in hardwareluxx benchmarks, 5800x3d benefits too.

Windows share fluctuates several percent month-to-month in Steam HW survey.
I dont put too much faith into these one month changes.

0.01% difference in Horizon Zero Dawn, no difference in CPU or Average FPS.
I ran the bench 3 times each, these were the best of each

You're heavily GPU-limited. Your CPU can push 3x those frames with ease in H:ZD as it's an older console-based game. Which is a good point though as most of us are GPU-limited so we'll only see the CPU benefits in those rare CPU-heavy or CPU-broken games. And then maybe only in the 1% lows, which is still a good thing.

Also not offering 23H2 seems to be happening on systems where users have either disabled TPM and/or circumvented other requirements to install Win11. At least that's my impression so far, as my own system was one of those (it's perfectly capable of supporting TPM etc but i chose to disable it).

In my case both systems are fully win11 compliant, I guess it's because I use a local windows account to login and not a Microsoft account.

Good point. I too use a local account. The reason i suspected system requirements was because MS at one point said that systems that are installed by bypassing these requirements may not receive updates, but they never clarified any further.

W11 22H2, OS build 22621.4112

W11 23H2, OS build 22631.4112

Both with KB5041587

Does anyone know if KB5041587 offers the same benefits on 22H2 as 23H2? I got that small update but failed to get baseline bench results before updating for comparison.

You could use System Restore, unless it's disabled or it is enabled but you have no previous restore points available.
