Windows 10: CPU Performance

I am curious if anyone is running an FX-8370 with windows 10 and noticed a performance increase? Same goes for Intel, I would be curious if the extra cost is worth it after windows 10.

cpu performance

is there any solution to decrease the cpu performance???because my laptop running hot in just daily activities!!!(cpu is:7700hq)

notice:i already put the laptop power to power saving

 

Cpu performance on windows 10

AMD Phenom™ II Processors

Shows the 1090t can clock up on all 6 cores, where the 1550t is only 3 tc.

The other thing I should have mentioned before is that win10 also likes to

run my old gtx 550ti at near max frequencies also, where the idle lowest

clock is 50 mhz.

When I start evga precision x it clock is on the on either the second or third level

with the fan running very slow and temps in the high range.

After precision x gets going it drops core and fan speed down to my settings.

This has been an issue with win10, nvidia and AMD drivers from the insider program.

I may disable 2 cores and see what the results are.

 

I have seen some minor performance gains as far as processor is concerned but nothing more than at the level of statistical error. It's probably more of a function of W10 being clean as opposed to few years of continuous use of W8/8.1.
Real goodies are yet to come, DirectX 12 when new drivers and applications/games start using it properly. Some tests show 50 - 100% or more of game performance gain.

 

I'm anxious to try an hybrid Cross-SLI setup with DX12... I'm thinking about pairing a GTX970 with my Radeon 280X...

If that really works you'd get heck of a setup, Combining Mantle and Physics wit DX12 should give awesome performance and/or game compatibility.

 

The big difference you'll see with CPU is power savings.

In the past (Windows 7), if you have 4 cores and were using 25% CPU, they would run 6% on all 4 CPUs. Now, they run 100% on one core and 0% on the other 3 and turn off the power to them, saving you 75% of your heat and battery life.

Also, while the CPU won't run faster, Windows 10 uses a lot less system memory at startup than Windows 7 or 8. So, old machines with low memory will run faster because they will swap to the hard drive less frequently. This is very noticeable on my 4GB laptop. Even though I have an SSD, Windows 7 would noticeably hang sometimes when switching apps. I have almost never seen that on Windows 10.

 

There's a lot of wasted cycles in procesors, that's how single cores can do multitasking and how hyper-threading works, using processor while waiting for data.
Still waiting for some real life tests for Dx12 to see what would happen on my computer.
