AMD confirms chipset driver updates and new features for Ryzen 9 9950X3D/9900X3D

Citiraj:

Perhaps the reason why AMD did not launch or even announce the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D alongside the Ryzen 7 9800X3D last year is because it required more updates to the drivers. AMD is adding some new features and updating existing technology to enable even higher performance on this generation of X3D series. The Ryzen 9000 series with 3D V-Cache comes with three SKUs: the 16-core 9950X3D, the 12-core 9900X3D, and the 8-core 9800X3D. The 8-core version is a single-chiplet design that does not need any special optimization and core parking technologies, simply because there is only one CCD (Core Complex Die) with 3D V-Cache. On the other hand, the 12-core and 16-core variants have two chiplets, but only one has 3D V-Cache.

As a result, AMD has to implement some extra software to manage work distribution in order to achieve higher performance in specific tasks. The first change for Provisioning Packages Services is that the service will automatically check on each system boot if the processor has been changed. This will simplify testing for reviewers, and upgrades for end users will no longer require reinstalling Windows, claims AMD. The 3D V-Cache Performance Optimizer was updated to properly work in Windows 10 with VBS enabled. What’s new is the Application Compatibility Database, a whitelist of games that focuses on titles not covered by the former two technologies. This tool will detect if any of the following games are being used and then “reduce the thread pool size”.
