AMD's latest CPUs — the Ryzen 9000-Series — launched in August 2024 and were heavily criticized for their poor performance.
Now, AMD has responded to the issues with its underperforming flagship CPU line with a new update that could deliver a few more frames per second.
AMD Releases New BIOS Update to Speed Up 9000-Series
AMD has released a new BIOS version in direct response to performance issues discovered during the launch of the Ryzen 9000-Series and subsequent reviews.
Update for AMD 5-socket AMD motherboards with AMD Ryzen 600 or 870X chipsets can now be upgraded to a new version of AMD's BIOS, bringing performance boosts for Ryzen 9600X and 9700X CPUs, improved inter-core latency for all other Ryzen 9 9000-Series CPUs.
AMD's official blog claims that its new BIOS can increase the chip's TDP (thermal design power) by up to 10%, up from the default TDP of 65W to 105W.
The extra power delivers what all Ryzen 9000-Series users want: More performance.
Interestingly, the update also improves inter-core latency, where information is shared between CPU cores to speed up processing. Previously, AMD found that this process required two interactions to read and write data.
But now, the AMD BIOS update 1.2.02 has cut the number of transactions in half, significantly reducing the latency between these data transfers.
AMD BIOS update brings PCIe 5.0 support
Now, eagle-eyed folks may have spotted something else this BIOS update brings: AMD's Ryzen 9000-Series CPUs will support PCIe 5.0.
Why is this important?
It's rumored that Nvidia's next-generation 5000-Series GPUs will use PCIe 5.0, which means that if you want the most powerful consumer GPUs, you'll need a motherboard and CPU that support PCIe 5.0.
