Performance counters also indicate higher average IPC with the loop buffer enabled when the game is running on the VCache die. Specifically, it averages 1.25 IPC with the loop buffer on, and 1.07 IPC with the loop buffer disabled. And, there is a tiny performance dip on the new BIOS. Smells of microcode mitigations if you ask me, but naturally let’s wait for the CVE.
