AMD has finally responded to complaints on Reddit regarding performance issues and system instability on Ryzen processors with Windows 11. The fTPM module found on certain older Ryzen systems is the culprit. As per various users, the symptoms include periodic freezes, system instability, crackling sounds, and reduced performance in some gaming titles. According to users from Reddit and the LTT forums, AMD processors are suffering from reduced CPU and GPU performance with both Windows 11 and 10.

I use W10P currently and have been disabling fTPM since I'm unaware of any possible benefit it could provide to me.  If/When I ever decide to try W11, I think I will invest in a discrete TPM at that time.

While the AMD users might be getting hurt harder at the moment, everyone using Windows 10 is a victim of performance degradation, and Windows 11 users moreso. Almost every Windows version change adds more unnecessary trash and overhead that consumes system resources, impairs performance.
