amd optimiser for intel duo

[wiko]

can i use the amd optimiser on a intel 6600 dual core, ive used the windows hotfix already.

No.

[communisto]

i think that can be answered with common sense














(no)

[wiko]

thought so

Actually you can
.
And according to this (in German):

huhu jungs.. ich habe C2D 6300 auf 2080Mhz laufen mit 2x 512MB team 677mhz auf einem Asrock 775 dualVsta laufen..

Es gibt ja ein Patch für XP von MS für Dualcore Cpus.. folgende auflistung:

Ohne den Patch habe ich bei Pcmark04 5400 Punkte
mit dem Windows Patch 5600 Punkte
Dann habe uch einfach mal den AMD optimizer dazu installiert und hatte bei meinem ersten bench aufeinmal 6024Points.. war total erschrocken.. nach einem reboot nochtmal bench gemacht und 5940 points bekommen.. immer noch mehr als mit dem win oder ohne patch.. wie geht das? dachte beide patch laufen zu lassen bringt kein vorteil und ich dachte das die patches nichts an der geschwindigkeit machen sondern nur an der stabilität ?
also der amd optimizer scheint gut fürn C2D zu sein.. hab jetzt beide drauf und alles läuft.

Die benchs wurde alle unter gleicher bedinung gemacht, alle tasks beendet und frisch neugestartet jedesmal..
ich finde es nur komisch warum ich beim ersten test 6024 points bekommen hab und nach einem neustart und zweiten test nur noch 5940punkte.. warum ? waren alles die gleichen bedinungen.. woran liegts?

achja finde irgendwie die punkte zu wenig für die cpu und das bei PCmark04..... danke.

(basic translation: he has a Core 2 Duo 6300 and without the amd optimizer he got 5600 points and with the amd optimizer he got 5940 to 6024 points.)

The amd optimizer can improve performance on a Core 2 Duo. (he was very surprised himself)

common sense my arse! shall try it and see then thanks Eric

bah

crafty germans, :p

Yes, just try it.
Worst thing that can happen is you have to uninstall it again.

Actually it's not that surprising if it works for both AMD dual core and intel Core 2 processors because:

AMD Dual-Core Optimizer - The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction. Applications that rely on RDTSC do not benefit from the logic in the operating system to properly account for the affect of power management mechanisms on the rate at which a processor core's Time Stamp Counter (TSC) is incremented. The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer helps to correct the resulting video performance effects or other incorrect timing effects that these applications may experience on dual-core processor systems, by periodically adjusting the core time-stamp-counters, so that they are synchronized.

Core 2 has the same kind of power management mechanisms that AMD chips have.
(P4's were lacking those mechanisms, that's why they were running so hot in comparinon to both Core 2 and AMD)

bah

crafty germans, :p

You mean those Germans from that forum, or AMD?

AMD is certainly crafty.
I can only imagine the looks on the faces of intel employees when they found out AMD optimized intel chips.
"They did WHAT to make our Core 2's faster???"

In that case, I am putting a ATI driver on my 7900 GT, in theory it should work but I said no for the fact that I would not advise it because it could ruin the processor. He CAN use it, but NO I wouldn't. Besides, just because it gave him a better number, doesn't prove the optimizer did anything. I mean CPUz cannot accurately display processor voltage. Not impressed.

You have no idea what the AMD duo core optimizer is, huh?
It's not a driver, nor an overclocking tool.

It's just a little program that fixes a bug in Windows XP.
Apparently this bug affects both AMD and intel dual core processors.
