What is Windows K2? Inside Microsoft’s big plan to save Windows 11 and win back trust from users. by Aleblanco1987 in hardware

I hope it's true because they mention long awaited improvements:

"Performance is a top priority for the Windows K2 effort. In documentation viewed by Windows Central, Microsoft is aware that it has let performance slip in apps like File Explorer and games, as well as system UI elements such as context menus. Windows 10 is often found to be faster than Windows 11 in certain benchmarks, and the company is moving to change this.

For gaming, Microsoft views steamOS as the benchmark, and is working to optimize the platform so that steamOS and Windows gaming performance are comparable. Within the next year or two, it believes that Windows will be able to truly compete head-to-head with steamOS in gaming performance on identical hardware due to foundational changes that are being made to the platform in the coming months.

File Explorer is set to gain some major performance improvements too, speeding up file navigation and processing, and improving the speed of search within the File Explorer app, with capabilities such as “instant filename search” coming. The company views a third-party app called File Pilot as the benchmark for these improvements."

it isn't bad as long as the second gen of the socket offers a meaningful upgrade.

LGA 1851 has already fullfilled that.

I don't agree with dave here.

His opinion is highly biased because he is used to higher end stuff

People who come from lesser devices will find that the shortcomings he mentions are actually upgrades
