Older Ryzen CPUs Just Got Buffed

[Kenrou]

"Its amazing to see how well the Ryzen 5000 series is still doing and how good the Ryzen 7000 processors are hanging on. And now there's supposedly a way to get even better gaming performance and framerates with a simple update. But what's the catch? Or is this a situation where better framerates are "free"?"

Ahh, windows only, thought maybe it was an AGESA update that would apply to any OS. Had me all excited that I would see a nice performance uplift.

Jeff (Stereo55) and I have been discussing upgrading to the 7 series, but the Fivers we have still handle every single thing we've tossed at them.

You know me, I run my rigs to the end before upgrading
