I hope this milks a little more performance out of these chips.

As we reported in our original Bulldozer review, AMD made it abundantly apparent that Bulldozer couldn’t realize its full potential under a Windows 7 environment. Their reasoning behind these claims was directed towards Windows 7′s core scheduling which just couldn’t take advantage of the new, advanced architecture.

One question.

Did it work?

I mean, how could it really make its performance that much better.

Looks like they completed it...I heard it wasn't coming out till 2012 so I though it would be later in the year. Kind of surprising that it happened so early.

Though it looks like it met most every one's expectations...1-10% performance gains depending on what you are doing. That isn't enough to really help in benches...but every percent counts.

There is another thread here on OCN quoting AMD's blog.

Here is what they said:
Quote:
The best possible cases for improvement are applications that use ½ cores in your AMD FX processor. In our testing using the AMD FX-8150 processor, we found the best improvement in wPrime, Left 4 Dead 2, and Lost Planet. Below you’ll find links to the patches:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2646060

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2645594

Our testing shows that not every application realizes a performance boost. In fact, heavily threaded apps (those designed to use all 8 cores), get little or no uplift from this hotfix – they are already maxing out the processor. In other cases, the uplift averages out to a 1-2 percent uplift. But heck, it is free performance, and this is the scheduler model that will be used in Windows 8 (along with some further enhancements), so why not add it to your list of downloads?


It is a good thing they are saying things exactly how they are.
