From PC World: Microsoft is working on a new way to make Windows 11 PCs faster. But instead of tackling performance through additional tools or upgrades, the company is relying on a trick that affects the CPU.
With the new “Low Latency Profile,” the CPU speed will increase in bursts whenever Windows 11 is given an important task, whether that’s launching an app or opening the Start menu. The aim is to make unnecessary delays and stuttering a thing of the past.
Well-known Windows leakers like phantomofearth have already discovered the feature in a test version. Windows Latest has also been able to test it and reports that, thanks to the new CPU trick, Windows 11 operates up to 40 percent faster when launching pre-installed apps (primarily Microsoft apps) and up to 70 percent faster in the Start menu and context menu.
The Low Latency Profile is activated once and then applies to the entire PC. Windows 11 is then supposed to automatically detect when it’s necessary to boost CPU speed, ensuring a smoother user experience.
