This is precisely why I now dual boot Windows and Linux as I have seen anywhere from a 5-25% performance increase using Linux Garuda, Sure it isn't compatible with everything and there's a learning curve but Windows is so over bloated.

I'm just surprised Microsoft was able to get this fixed in a timely manner.

Should we make a bet they fix one thing and ruin another?

That will always happen, it's Microsoft!

This is from a reddit user with a 7800X3D.
I run lots of benchmarks, capture stats on games, etc., and decided to see what 24H2 might do for my 7800X3D/7900XTX/X670E system. All results are based on the most recent runs on 23H2, and on 24H2 runs today (August 26, 2024) using the preview release. The BIOS settings, Adrenaline version/settings, system software, etc. are all the same, the only difference being the OS version. Most benchmarks were run/captured once, so this is not exhaustive or scientific.
Notes:
More official testing is needed, but I'm impressed with what I've seen so far. I was not expecting to see such gains in the games, and at least on my system, single core performance is much better. It's not often a performance boost like this comes along with so little effort, and I can only wonder why this wasn't discovered and released sooner.
- BM: W is Black Myth: Wukong. This is the benchmark version at 2560x1440 Cinematic, RT off. Stats are captured at the section starting after going over the fallen tree.
- Fortnite uses in-game captures at 2560x1440 using DX12, with Frame Rate Limit off and Vsync off. All settings Epic except for Medium Shadows. TSR is Medium with Native resolution, 100% 3D Resolution, Dynamic 3D Resolution off, Nanite Virtualized Geometry off, Global Illumination off, Reflections off, etc.
- Captures and stats are from CapFrameX with 60 second captures.
- Other software running in the background includes HWiNFO64, Chrome, Razer Synapse, Adrenaline, OpenRGB, and any necessary launchers such as Steam or Epic Games.
- Power Plans is Balanced and set to Best Performance.
- Benchmarks are run in normal mode, not as Admin, special Admin, etc.
- System is a ASRock X670E Taichi, Ryzen 7 7800X3D, ASRock PG 7900XTX, 32GB Team Group 6000CL30 with EXPO (30-36-36-76-112), 2TB WD SN850X, 420mm Arctic LFII AIO, etc.

In regards to your bold text, in the past as they released new CPUs and were getting massive increases, it's fair to assume it was in line with expectations of performance improvements. Still one could also wonder why AMD who was previously nearly extinct wouldn't dive into every avenue of optimization to get the most out of their products to get the best advantage and sell as many chips as they could. My guess was they didn't have enough money/talent/engineering to spare. Though again these past few years they did have those things. But alas it's all speculation.
