In short, the updates fail to address the underwhelming gaming performance for such a high-end chip.

The first series of fixes landed before the holidays in a mandatory Windows 11 update alongside some publisher patches.

There are some sizable gaming gains in Intel’s numbers.

Intel claims Core Ultra 200 patches improve gaming performance by up to 26% (Update: they don’t)

Meanwhile, Far Cry 6 could see up to 16% more FPS.

However, the performance hikes don’t stop at games.

We’ll have to run some tests ourselves before we can corroborate Intel’s lofty numbers.
