In the upcoming 24H2 update for Windows, Zen 4 and Zen 5 (and to some extend, Zen 3) will receive a performance boost (at least in games, 0-36% more performance, 13% on average)
Will AMD also release some kind of a patch for Linux to boost performance on Ryzen CPUs? Or is it already optimized?
This basically doesn’t have anything to do with Linux.
If I remember correctly, people like Wendell from Level1Techs ran tests on new Ryzens on Windows and Linux. And found out that games ran better on Linux side.
So, I would say there isn’t the same kind of upgrade/update coming to Linux.
Don’t really know anything so deep from Kernels and such (Windows or Linux).
But I think that the wise ones think, it has something to do with OS Scheduler bug on Windows, regarding AMD CPUs…
As long as 90%+ of people will run Windows on PC, and Xbox exists, there will be just a handful indie games running natively on Linux. But who knows, lord Gaben might pull another ace up from his sleeve.
I must say, though, gaming on Linux is now working very well, compared to the past.
