Meanwhile, AMD continues to release driver and software updates, and after its recent driver update, Ryzen users on Windows 10 64-bit are reporting a better performance on the testing tools. The new driver allows the Ryzen processor to take power management into its own hands.

The drivers profide the Ryzen processorwith control over the power profiles that are normally managed by the operating system. AMD Ryzen rumors state that this means a better voltage and frequency control to give applications a performance boost.
