Det verkar som om AMD tillsammans med pyttemjuk har siktat på multiprocessing med win8. Många av de tester som redovisas nu är ju körda på en kärna och knappast till AMDs fördel.
" The processor's benchmarks improved dramatically when running Windows 8, compared to its performance on Windows on the aging Windows 7. Now I was expecting a lot of things with Windows 8, say like faster boot times, the new Metro interface, and a new suite of applications, but I certainly wasn’t expected a massive increase in performance.
What benchmarks is he referring to?
??
I actually wasn’t aware Windows 8 featured a new thread manager that was rewritten to address the increase in 4 and 8 core processors that are coming into the market. Indeed, the benchmarks seem to indicate that this capability is linear; meaning, the more cores you have the faster the chip will perform on a variety of applications. "
