Collaborative Processor Performance Control News Today

Intel's newer processors featuring the hybrid Big-Bigger core design are set to get a performance boost soon on Windows 11 guest VMs on Linux. An Intel engineer has explained how via a recent patch.

For AMD Zen 2 and newer systems making use of the modern AMD P-State driver on Linux for CPU frequency scaling, ACPI Collaborative Processor Performance Control (CPPC) interface is being used

The power management and ACPI feature changes have been merged for the in-development Linux 6.5 kernel

AMD recently released chipset drivers for Windows which are optimized for Ryzen 7000X3D chips and boost performance-per-watt. A new CPPC patch reveals power efficiency gains are also coming to Linux.

The reviews for AMD's highly anticipated Ryzen 7950X3D came out earlier today and it's a good gaming CPU. In this article, we show how the Xbox Game Bar app can be used to get the best of the chip.

A new patch is coming for Intel's Alder Lake CPUs on Linux which should fix a CPPC or core prioritization issue when such a system is in an overclocked state. Legacy PCs however will be left out.

AMD has released its new chipset driver for Ryzen processors with version 3.10.08.506. It fixes the issue on Windows 11 that led to incorrect task scheduling depending on the fastest available cores.

Microsoft has released a build 22000.282 (KB5006746) as an optional update before its release with Patch Tuesday. The update has many changes, notably, the L3 cache issue on Ryzen.

Windows 11 first update slows down AMD Ryzen processors even more. Microsoft on Tuesday released the first cumulative update for Windows 11.

Last week AMD stated that even supported Zen-based CPUs are facing performance issues on Windows 11. According to a report, the fix for the problems is landing through a patch starting next week.
