AMD bulldozer FX Series performance was not satisfactory, but before it is released, there are rumors, modular architecture of bulldozers at present has not been fully optimized for the Microsoft Windows operating system, so there will be a “chicken blood patch” to bring it to normal levels. AMD did when officially released to the media to provide the AVX, XOP instruction set optimization patches, can in some cases significantly increased performance, but apparently not yet reached to “chicken” level.

Today, there was an article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base number “KB2592546” the article has finally released the legend of bulldozer “chicken blood patch”, it can be considered met prior to the AMD commitment in response to bulldozers frequently asked questions.

According to Microsoft’s description, this patch optimizes AMD bulldozer processors in Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system performance. Microsoft said the bulldozers now below normal levels of performance, because Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 system does not synchronize multithreaded (SMT) scheduling mechanism is optimized , multithreaded application performance may be affected.

According to Microsoft, after you install this patch, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 will fully support the bulldozer processor, so the normal standards of performance expected. Of course, SP1 Service Pack is also required.

It is understood that this patch increases at the kernel level thread management logic for the bulldozer, but after the update will be eight core redefined as a four-core AMD claimed eight threads, meaning that Microsoft does not believe that bulldozers are complete eight core, but is classified as a special type of multithreading. No matter what, the patch does bring performance gains of up to 10% to the bulldozer.

As to the new server and future Windows 8 operating system, native support will be bulldozers.

Odd is that today on the official website of Microsoft has been unable to get this hot fix patch directly, but the display does not exist, so we provide a third-party network disk to download here:

Foreign players alexmaia_br and mikezachlowe2004 after the Microsoft Windows7 bulldozer performance patch released today, first time on this patch performance evaluation.

Testing AMD bulldozer FX-8150, overclocked to 4.6GHz. Alexmaia_br use Cinebench, Batman: City of Forrest Gump, the hero of Sam 3, the black Street Saints 3, battlefield 3, call of duty: modern warfare 3.

They found that after patching, Cinebench, 8 core bulldozer is recognized as 4C/8T, before the patch is 8C/8T, patched recognized by Cinebench into 4 core processors, but test scores had slightly increased from 7.52 to 7.57.

Batman: tests show the Forrest City, minimum frames improve 3fps, the average number of frames and the maximum frame number does not change, but many feel smooth.

Performance comparison of the black Street Saints 3, according to alexmaia_br’s screenshot shows Microsoft patch Windows 7 bulldozer performance place frames the same higher rate of nearly 20%.

The serious Sam 3 slightly improve performance, same performance enhancing 8%.

Mikezachlowe2004 although no comparative screenshots and test data, but he said, the number of battlefield 3 frames changing is obvious, Windows7 bulldozer on performance after patches, frames 15-20fps to upgrade, originally in the Exchange three-screen frames in 30-40fps, now 50-60fps. He said the call of duty: modern warfare 3 is also very significant, frames improve as much as 35-45fps. Mikezachlowe2004 said before the patch, bulldozers in the battlefield 3 and call of duty: modern warfare 3 is used only to 4 cores, after patching, 8 cores can be fully utilized.

I Started something analyzed the EXIF information of the picture and found two pictures taken using Samsung Omina Pro on January 22, 2010 , earlier than the time to market for iPad on January 27.

Technology blogs The Verge analysis says that although Microsoft B8 Blog says that the two pictures have no special hints, but if people have no nor strange to hear Windows Phone 8, Redmond giant may be preparing a unified PC, Tablet PC, Smartphone operating system .

Foreign media today published a summary of the article, describes Microsoft’s Investor Relations Department, General Manager of bier·kefude (Bill Koefoed) in one Investor Conference held earlier this week for enterprise users to upgrade Windows. He thinks on enterprise users, Windows 7 will be is the only road to Windows 8. Windows 8 is Microsoft’s most important products–it will be able to rekindle consumer interest in PC products, but also enough about iPad poses a greater threat.

But for business? Meaning does not seem big. For businesses, Microsoft still think that, even after officially listed in Windows 8, the company selling to Enterprise Windows 7 there is still huge upside. Microsoft Investor relations General Manager bier·kefude (Bill Koefoed) on a investor meeting held earlier this week, which noted that: “for enterprise users, Windows 7 is the only road to Windows 8. ”

Kefude pointed out that Windows 7 in the enterprise received a warm welcome, since the since the product has come out at the end of 2009, one-third business PCs have been upgraded using Windows 7, but also two-thirds of the enterprise does not complete the upgrade.

On April 18, 2014, Microsoft will “complete end” Windows XP (when the product is over 13 years old). This means that Microsoft will no longer support the product or to continue to provide updates or patches. And this deadline in order to enable consumers to upgrade to Windows 7.

Once the Windows 7 computers are entering the enterprise, Microsoft can try to sell upgrades to enterprise customers to Windows 8 product services (Microsoft has promised, to run any PC capable of running Windows 7 Windows 8), or to sell them additional running Windows 8 ‘s new tablet computer.

Investor meeting, someone asks, “how investors should be separately from the angle of enterprise and consumer perspective through sales to drive for Windows 7 Windows 8 listing the links between them? When do you think in terms of consumer to freeze the old product, and when to old products in the enterprise conducted freezing, so they will not only create more impact? ”

Kefude replied: “we have talked about this problem, I don’t remember were I was a CFO bide·kelaiyin (Peter Klein) in one interpretation of results on a conference call to discuss this problem, that is to say one-third of enterprises have already upgraded to Windows 7. So I need to be reminded, I think due to less than 800 days in Windows XP will end its mission. Enterprises that need other two-thirds as soon as possible and in this short time to complete the upgrade to Windows 7. Although this will require the customer to upgrade the hardware, but also to upgrade some software, but the general direction – for enterprise customers, Windows 7 will be the only road leading to the Windows 8. We will also be working closely with them to achieve that goal. “(Wen/Sina technology)

Thanks to Windows 7 Party post
Recall 2MB desktop address to a computer upgrade installation type of memory, when the happy happy! Server memory for a 64MB at that time was quite pretty (originally sooooo much memory). You can imagine at that time value per megabyte! Now no longer be compared, at the same time in today’s large-capacity memory, memory of the quality will improve as the capacity is being expanded for this? We also need to be further explored.

For memory problems or flaws are often themselves do not have a big announcement to indicate that they have problems. If you have this kind of problem occurs, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, this new system will notify the user of a class using the relevant tools for detecting memory tested memory. So how do we run this checker manually to achieve the hip in the bud, before issues before failures?

Use the Windows memory diagnostic tool:

We can manually open Memory Diagnostics tool in the Administrator Toolbox, command is as follows:

1. C:\> mdsched

Copy the code and then see the following interface:

Follow the instructions above, we choose to recommend the default first, save the document needs to be saved and now when we click on Restart now and Check for Problems

All operations are automatic, then the computer will restart and log on to the following interface:

This is an ongoing memory diagnostic interface.

Use F1, we can define which need to be adjusted manually and modify, and test the types of parameters:

This is the quick mode, Basic testing for at least the memory project, testing the fastest!

And this we can use the up and down keys to select the standard interface, this is the default execution mode:

Last detection mode is the ultimate! Detect items most content the most demanding level, your memory if you want to be testing of a complete class type of chicken you can choose this option:

By default, diagnostic tool on your chosen item out 2 (two cycle), but you can manually modify the test cycle times, and range is up to 99 times! Use TAB key to position number type to modify the number of places needed again.

I so wish I could set this up scheduled tasks to regularly test, but it seems that this is not. (Read: I wish there was a way to set this when configuring the scheduled task, but I have yet to fine one.)

Press F10, cycle times for diagnostic tools to start automatic operation until after you set the value, the system will reboot, and the following tips:

In General, based on memory size, and select the levels you will have short, wait for it to go slowly, the system will automatically restart, either failed or is passed!

After the restart, as my computer memory is in the picture without any errors!

Assume that you do not lose patience, do not see the picture above, there is no need to, we can go into the event viewer, to retrieve information about memory checking reports!

In addition, if you have PowerShell installed on your computer, you can perform the following command, like this:

1. PS C:\> get-eventlog system -after “12/26/2011 12:00PM”
2. -source Microsoft-Windows-MemoryDiagnostics-Results |
3. Select EntryType,InstanceID,Message |
4. format-list

EntryType : Information
InstanceId : 1201
Message : The Windows Memory Diagnostic tested the computer’s memory
and detected no errors

EntryType : Information
InstanceId : 1101
Message : The Windows Memory Diagnostic tested the computer’s memory
and detected no errors

Summary: as Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 memory diagnostic tool, which is a very effective and free memory testing tool, I look forward to many OEM and device manufacturers will make use of this tool for simple and effective test, if you haven’t started, so from now on it!

After being hoodwinked again by the end of last year, Microsoft announced today the official AMD bulldozer processors in Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 system optimization patches, but is two two at a time, KB2646060. AMD said preliminary tests indicated the version for Windows 8 development system, bulldozer processor performance in some applications can be 10% higher than in Windows 7, this is because the Windows Scheduler for 8 to correctly identify the bulldozer architecture and core, Windows 7 is not.

Through collaboration with AMD, Microsoft now porting the Windows part 8 Scheduler code to a Windows 7 system, which is able to completely play bulldozer architecture features and performance potential.

Two patches to update the order, first download, install the update patch KB2645594 for scheduling, which tells the operating system to a bulldozer in the module has two core, between the threads would be more reasonable. In fact, it was a kind of similar to synchronize multithreaded (SMT).

Then download and install core Hibernate (Core Parking) scheduling update patch for KB2646060, you need to assign it cable-history of time avoid Windows 7 core prematurely closed temporarily useless . Close and reopen will affect the performance of the core.

Whether AMD FX series desktop version, four thousand two hundred-six thousand two hundredths is the server version of the AMD Opteron series, you can according to this update.

AMD claimed that patch change on the most obvious is the only used half a module, a bulldozer core software, internal testing the FX-8150 display, wPrime, the Convention of the Left 4 Dead 2, the lost planet performance gains the most obvious, others will increase on average by about 1-2%.

AMD also acknowledged that not every software can get the performance boost from this update, in fact those heavy multithreaded tasks (in particular both to the eight core/threads) itself has been able to better play to the hardware resources of the bulldozer, hardly any change after the patch.

KB2645594——

Currently, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems using the processor scheduling is not optimized for AMD bulldozer’s modular architecture, multi-threaded load may not be able to do optimization distribution, especially in an environment that is not sensitive to multithreading. This may result in some loss of performance.

Note: your processor core within the system hibernate power management strategy may cause the update failed to produce the expected performance gains must match the KB2646060 installed.

KB2646060——

The patches for AMD FX/Opteron 4200/Opteron 6,200 series processor, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems, to selectively turn off core Hibernate (Core Parking) feature.

At present, the two operating system processor power policy not optimized for AMD dual-core module structure for bulldozer, may result in a multithreaded application performance losses. After you install this update, bulldozer module will rarely enter the C6 power state, it also has the potential to increase the system power consumption.

Note: this update cannot be uninstalled after Setup and must be installed KB2645594.

Yesterday Microsoft announced Windows 8 will support native USB 3 standard with USB 3 theory of data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbit/s, than the current USB 2 ports (480 Mbit/s) to 10 times faster times. Microsoft believed that by the year 2015, all will have USB 3-port of PC machine. Maybe many people might think, what about Windows 7?

Microsoft’s commitment is more than 10 billion USB devices can connect to Windows 8 compatible USB 3, devices and networks Division project manager Dennis Flanagan said that all USB devices can run well on Windows 8, Microsoft has developed one of the most durable and most reliable USB software stack to achieve backward compatibility.

At the same time, many users will want to know, can be used on USB 3 devices inserted into Windows 7. For Microsoft, is a simple method in Windows 7 SP2 adds support for USB 3. Because Microsoft does not intend to publish SP for Windows XP and Vista patches, both platform may not be compatible with USB 3.

Taking into account the close relation Windows 8 and Windows 7, Windows 8 backward compatible with USB 2 is not a problem, Windows 7 SP2 to achieving compatibility of USB 3 is also very likely. Currently, Microsoft Windows 7 SP2 is synchronized with the Windows 8 development, although no specific news leaks about SP2, but believes Windows 8 began to emerge, Windows 7 SP2 will soon meet with everyone.
