We already told you a few days ago about the launch of the new AGESA 1002a microcode for AMD Raven Ridge processors, which solves some performance problems that its users have been experiencing.
AGESA 1002a solves stuttering problems at AMD Raven Ridge
With the release of the Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 3 2200G processors, several users encountered a strange stuttering problem when playing certain games. In some workloads, it could be seen how the frequency of the Vega graphics core built into these processors could suddenly drop to 300MHz or less for short periods of time. A problem that resulted in a downclock of more than 75%, which caused serious stuttering problems when playing with these processors and their integrated graphics.

Fortunately, AMD has taken the issue seriously and has developed its AGESA 1002a update, which is designed to deliver performance and smoothness improvements on Raven Ridge processors. The techpowerup guys have gotten down to work testing the AGESA 1002a enhancements in Assassin's Creed Origins.
The results are clear, with the previous version there were drops in the framerate up to 5 FPS, with the new version of the microcode these drops are reduced to 17 FPS, although the average performance has decreased slightly from 21.79 FPS to 20, 64 FPS.
The average performance loss is negligible, and may be due mostly to the inability to repeat the exact same conditions twice, instead, if the problem of sudden and abrupt drops in the minimum framerate has been greatly reduced.
It is great news that AMD works hard to improve the performance of all its products, something very important for its users.

The success of these new AMD APU processors was somewhat weighed down by some problems, although thanks to the work of the AMD BIOS team we believe that it has been fixed with AGESA 1002a.
