AMD said that: “Based on our findings, AMD believes that the Windows 10 thread scheduler is operating properly for ‘Zen’ [Ryzen], and we do not presently believe there is an issue with the scheduler adversely utilizing the logical and physical configurations of the architecture.”
The company further claimed that there’s no issue with scheduling differences between Windows 7 and Windows 10 affecting Ryzen CPUs based on the ‘limited’ available evidence, adding that any performance gaps are likely due to differences in the overall software architecture of these operating systems.
Move along
In short, regarding the whole thread scheduling controversy, AMD is saying there’s nothing to see here – move along.
From our point of view, even if there was certainly some kind of an issue, any performance hiccups caused by nuances of the operating system are likely to pale in comparison to the true problem behind the …read more
