The presentation of the Zen 5 architecture could take place at Computex this June, and according to information coming from an alleged employee of Lenovo, AMD is planning stop offering new drivers and support in Windows 10 for processors and APUs based on said architecture.

In short, this means that Zen 5 will not have support in Windows 10, although of course this does not mean that processors and APUs based on the mentioned architecture will not work. They will most likely work, but at the same time, there is a possibility that they have no support since then they do not perform adequately or even give some problems.

There’s a good reason why AMD would make this decision, which honestly seems inappropriate to me given that the operating system is Windows 10. the most used todayand Sunnyvale wants strengthen your bet for the capabilities and performance of Zen 5 working with AI.

Windows 11 and artificial intelligence go hand in hand, so we already know where the shots are headed. The AI ​​frenzy has only just begunthis will continue to increase, and eventually it is only a matter of time before the majority of PCs sold are supported by this technology, which promises to be a market driver in the coming years.

Zen 5 will require Windows 11 to function properly

At least in theory, that is, if this information is true. AMD’s move may help improve the adoption rate of the said operating system, especially among the gaming public who tend to refresh their equipment more often and those who received Windows 11 bestwe only need to look at the market share of said operating system on Steam to realize this.

If you’re wondering if it’s worth upgrading to the Zen 5, the answer is clearly, it does, as it will depend on the processor you currently have. If you have a Zen 4 based processor, the answer is no because a CPI improvement of around 10%which is a figure that could rise to an average of 15% to 20% at best due to the increase in frequency and boost in turbo mode.

On the other hand, if you have a Zen 3 processor or earlier, it is worth upgrading to Zen 5 because the overall CPI improvement in this case will be 23%, approximately, and with increased frequencies and turbo mode, we could easily achieve an overall performance improvement of more than 30%. That would be a generational leap large enough to justify the investment involved.
