I am a 7950x3D owner and I use Dolphin to benchmark my CPU performance pretty regularly. One of my go to tests is Metroid Prime. I know in my head the numbers I should get at various points in the game, using the same build, if performance is better or worse. For instance at the main menu, I should get around 520 fps, standing on Samus' ship after loading in I should get 400+, and the first burrow creatures that popup and attack you in the room just to the right of the ship, I should be upwards of 750 fps.
Well today I accepted the Windows preview update including the AMD branch prediction performance optimizations/fix and you know what? I lost performance in Dolphin across the board in my above examples. The new numbers are: 490 fps main menu, 350 fps standing on Samus' ship, and 500 fps in the first room to the right of the ship. Pretty significant losses. The worst part is, I foolishly ran the DISM command to clean up the Windows Update folder before doing these performance tests, so I can no longer roll back. Unfortunate.
Can anyone else with Ryzen based PCs and Windows 11 23H2 confirm the same findings with Dolphin?
