Just keep in mind - This is a RYZEN performance update, NOT a Zen 5 performance update. Zen 3/4/5 affected. The scaling between generations doesn't change.

Nice boost for me (I am guessing since my cpu hasnt been tested).

Microsoft is probably hoping news like this leads to more Windows 11 adoptions.

So the takeaway is that Zen 4 is so well-engineered that it almost future-proofed itself.
