A month after release, the Ryzen 9000 lineup receives another patch that improves performance.
A new BIOS update brings a much-needed fix for some of AMD’s best processors. Since the launch of Ryzen 9000 over a month ago, some users and reviewers alike noticed that the core-to-core latency on these CPU s was significantly higher than on the last-gen Ryzen 7000. Trying new firmware proves that AMD addressed this issue, reducing latency by over 50% in some cases.
Recommended Videos Fortunately, a fix is on the way — and in some cases, it’s already here. Asus rolled out a new AGESA 1.2.0.2 firmware update for its 600-series motherboards, including the X670E, B650E, and B650, and this seems to include a solution to the latency problems faced by Zen 5. As spotted by a member of the Overclock forum, domdtxdissar, the new AGESA update addresses the latency issues in a major way.
Now, how will this translate to real-world performance? Most users are unlikely to see much of a difference. Even a gain of 600 points in Cinebench R23 is just a bit over 1% for the top chip in the lineup. However, it’s good to see AMD address what seems to have been an issue with Zen 5 CPUs since launch.
