The latest Windows 11 update, 24H2, has brought more than just bug fixes for gamers using certain 7000 series CPUs. This update is increasing the amount of frames per second (FPS) that these CPUs are able to produce, enhancing the overall gaming experience.

Which CPUs are Benefiting?

Most CPUs in the 7000 series and the yet to be released 9000 Series, are seeing a positive impact from the new Windows 11 update. Gamers using 7000 CPUs will notice an increase in FPS, making their games run smoother and more efficiently. The only CPU that has been seen to suffer has been the 7950X3D.

What About the 7950X3D CPU?

Unfortunately, the 7950X3D CPU seems to be the exception to the rule. Testers of this specific CPU have noted a slight decrease in FPS, around ~2%, after installing the update. While this may be disappointing for some, the majority of CPUs are experiencing improvements.

Will Intel CPUs Benefit?

It is currently unclear whether Intel CPUs will also see a boost in FPS from the new Windows 11 update. However, based on the positive results seen with the 7000 series CPUs, there is hope that Intel users may also benefit from the increased performance.

Download More FPS

With the new Windows 11 update, it seems like gamers can literally download more FPS, a concept that has been the subject of many memes in the gaming community. This windows update is providing smoother gameplay and improved performance for some, make sure to keep your computer up to date unless you are on the 7950X3D. If you are, maybe hold off until they figure out what's going on with that CPU.
