I did some before/after testing with KB5041587 on my 7800X3D system. Conclusion: no change.

Tests (all MT):
Y-Cruncher BBP 10B
Y-Cruncher Pi 1B
Prime95 8x128k FFT
Prime95 1x8196k FFT
Cinebench R15
Cinebench R23
3DMark Steel Nomad
Black Myth Wukong 4k Very High RT Medium
SOTTR 4k High
WatchDogs Legion 4k Ultra
FFXIV Dawntrail Max

I fell asleep while running Cinebench 2024. I might complete the "after" some time.

I don't expect you'll see a difference at 4K gaming. The difference in performance isn't that significant and at 4K you are probably completely GPU limited either way. Unless you are playing really heavy CPU compute games (i.e., sims) or are a competitive gaming aiming for the highest FPS possible, most people are almost always GPU limited in their actual gaming experience.
 
My main interest was if there was any difference under compute scenarios, where there was also none. Gaming was a side test. I debated doing 1080p as well but it would have been time consuming. Based on tests elsewhere, the games I chose were on the low end of any improvement even if you used stupidly low resolution, like low single digit %. I don't have any of the games that gave bigger increases.
 
I just reinstalled one of the test rigs with B650E and on two CPUs I see lower latency in AIDA64. It was around 65ns (on the OS I used for long months) at 6000-6400 1:1 or 8000 1:2 XMP/EXPO without any special tweaking. Right now I have ~57ns. ~55ns used to be the lowest I could go after tweaking. On the 7950X with 2x48GB Kingston 6400 CL32 there is 57.7ns. All at auto, only the XMP is enabled.
