SQL Server 2022 Performance - Buffer Pool Scan 

Considering the significant performance improvements and the elimination of buffer pool scan issues in SQL Server 2022, upgrading your SQL Server environment to this latest version is highly recommended. 

Microsoft SQL Server 2014 service packs are cumulative updates and upgrade all editions and service levels of SQL Server 2014 to SP2. This service pack contains up to and including SQL Server 2014 SP1 Cumulative Update 7 (CU7).
