AMD engineers are the first thing that I blame. How did they not notice the bottleneck? Also, I am pretty sure that top engineers at companies like AMD and Nvidia have access to Windows source code so they can test performance and submit fixes/patches. AMD has lesser marketshare so it's right for Microsoft to focus their code on Intel CPUs unless AMD reports issues.
Considering that their terrible GPU drivers got me off AMD GPUs and into the waiting arms of Nvidia, color me not surprised.
- buster 8y agoI don't necessarily think so. Why does Linux work better? Does Linux do some magic stuff? Or is there some bug in the Windows Kernel/Scheduler? If so, then it's not AMD to blame.
- kjeetgill 8y agoAssuming this issue is because Windows hadn't really expected to work with memoryless NUMA nodes I gotta say, I agree with you. These companies have working business relationships with each other. I'm sure MS is fairly responsive on these sorts of things. AMD should probably have caught this in their internal development and getting Windows on board seems obvious?
