AMD CEO: Patches Will Boost Ryzen Gaming Performance

While AMD’s new Ryzen processors have been very well received, the chips have been criticised for their 1080p gaming performance when compared to Intel’s rival Kaby Lake chips. According to AMD’s CEO, though, Ryzen’s gaming performance “will only get better” as it has more time to work with the Zen architecture. In a reddit AMA, AMD Chief Executive Lisa Su promised that “vital optimizations” will be introduced to fix gaming issues in due time.

“Ryzen is doing really well in 1440p and 4K gaming when the applications are more graphics bound,” Su wrote. “And we do exceptionally well in rendering and workstation applications where more cores are really useful. In 1080p, we have tested over 100+ titles in the labs…. And depending on the test conditions, we do better in some games and worse in others.”

“We hear people on wanting to see improved 1080p performance and we fully expect that Ryzen performance in 1080p will only get better as developers get more time with “Zen”,” she added. “We have over 300+ developers now working with “Zen” and several of the developers for Ashes of Singularity and Total Warhammer are actively optimizing now.”

Regarding reports of dropping framerates in simultaneous multi-threading (SMT) workloads, Su explained, “In general, we’ve seen great performance from SMT in applications and benchmarks but there are some games that are using code optimized for our competitor… we are confident that we can work through these issues with the game developers who are actively engaging with our engineering teams.”
