AMD releases BIOS update to fix Ryzen boost performance

AMD claims it has a fix for the Ryzen boost that will roll out soon in a BIOS update. Since launching in July, Ryzen owners have discovered that many CPUs don’t reach their max boost clock speed. But the processor company says it has eliminated this problem in many circumstances.

The boost-clock problem doesn’t have a huge real-world impact, but it is potentially a false-advertising trap. AMD says it has addressed the bug, however, and it is seeing positive results in its internal testing.
