What felt like Zen 1 days, the Ryzen 9000 series launch was met with criticism, disappointment, praise, and a varied and mixed conclusion depending on what was being tested, apps or games, and how many,

AMD is apparently planning to release a six-core processor with 3D V-cache, which could be cheaper than the acclaimed Ryzen 7 7800X3D.

AMD is releasing new BIOS updates that will boost performance for its Ryzen 9600X / 9700X processors and address some latency issues. The performance improvements and latency reductions arrive around a month after disappointing Zen 5 desktop CPU reviews and appear alongside updates to Windows 11 that include optimized AMD-specific branch prediction for both Zen 4 and Zen 5 chips.

AMD has released a series of updates to address the performance issues that plagued the Ryzen 9000-series desktop processors following their delayed launch. These updates bring significant improvements for recent PC builders who were disappointed with the chip's initial performance, which isn't really living up to AMD's big all-out promises.

Building a cutting-edge PC around AMD's Ryzen 9000 Series can finally be an all-out affair as motherboards featuring the cutting-edge X870 and X870E chipsets hit the market today.

Though highly anticipated, AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series of desktop processors arrived with a bit of a thud earlier this year. Since then, the company has been in damage control, blaming the initial poor performance delta on some of its own faulty testing methodology while offering a series of fixes.

The company unveiled a number of Ryzen 9000 improvements, ranging from a much higher TDP for some of the CPUs to the core-to-core latency improvements we’ve already heard about. AMD is also now supporting higher-clocked DDR5 RAM,

It's raised TDP for two CPUs, reduced core-to-core latency for the dual-chiplet CPUs, and optimizations are built into Windows now.
