AMD’s new line of processors, Ryzen, have been criticised over their uneven performance in Windows 10 – but now AMD claims it has come up with a solution.
In a Community Update blog post, AMD has announced that it has created its very own balanced Windows 10 power plan that can boost performance in some games by up to 21%.
While Windows 10 comes with a number of ready-made power plans, such as ‘Balanced’ and ‘High Performance’, these are not designed to make use of AMD’s SenseMI technology in its Ryzen chips, which allows the CPU to make quick adjustments to voltage and frequency to maximise performance.
Instead, the default ‘Balanced’ power plan in Windows 10 tries to balance power consumption and performance by setting high thresholds and long timers when transitioning between frequency and voltage combinations, and that can limit how quickly Ryzen CPUs respond when the operating system asks for more power for high-demand programs. The way Windows 10’s power plans also handled virtual and physical cores of a processors can also interfere with its performance.
Finding a fix
To combat this, AMD has released its own power profile for Windows 10 that better handles the individual CPU cores …read more
