AMD's Performance Claims and Security Implications
AMD has recently revised its performance claims for the Ryzen 9000 series processors after reviewers found the chips underperformed in benchmarks. The company admitted to conducting tests in admin mode, which uses a hidden Windows 11 account that runs with full administrative privileges, compromising system security. This approach not only skews performance results but also disables key security features, making computers more vulnerable to malware. AMD plans to address some of these performance discrepancies in a future Windows 11 update, but this solution does not assist the majority of users still on Windows 10.
