And that caused us to have some very unrealistic expectations about these CPUs and what the update can achieve.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 - The Ryzen 9000 Story So Far0:50 - Windows 11 24H2 & Branch Prediction1:16 - 23H2 vs 24H2 INSANE Results1:41 - Wait...Intel ALSO Benefits!?!?2:22 - A HUGE Mistake - VBS & 24H23:41 - A REAL Apples to Apples Comparison5:08 - Testing 23H2 w/ Branch Prediction (KB5041587)7:27 - Assumptions about 24H28:05 - Are these Updates a Silver Bullet?8:38 - AMD has Some Serious Problems...GET MERCH ►hwcstore.comSUBSCRIBE ►bit.ly/SubHWCReview unit provided free of charge by AMD & Intel.
