When it comes to Windows 11, it's possible we've just seen another explosive moment. AMD and Microsoft have previously verified that the new operating system increases L3 cache latency on Ryzen CPUs by three times, but independent testing has shown that it may be up to six times slower. Games, like other high-performance software, may be slowed down by cache delay. To demonstrate just how messed up Windows 11 is on Ryzen, here are some more impressive statistics.
