On the plus side, AMD has just announced an upcoming patch that would
update the branch prediction for its Ryzen Zen 5000/7000/9000 series of
CPUs, allowing up to a 10% performance gain (also, so far only for
Windows 11, but I assume that Torvalds and his cadre of 1337 hackers
will fix that ommission PDQ).
Given that Intel's recent malarkey cost me about 10% performance (and
they still haven't gotten back to me about an RMA), this is just AMD
rubbing salt in my wounds. I get it AMD; I chose poorly.
It still doesn't do anything about their Sinkclose bug, but I assume
that -were I to buy a new AMD CPU in a few months- I'd not have to worry
about that anyway.
Anyway, releasing a major performance-enhancing patch like that is
terrific optics after getting hammered for Sinkclose. Meanwhile, Intel
is still acting like a bunch of schlubs.
I love my 64-thread Threadripper. Compiles on RAMdisk are _fast_.
