AMD visar prestandaförbättringar med flera kärnor och DirectX 12

Känns ganska bra att sitta med en FX-8350 nu.

Såg den här bilden om att Programmera många trådar, tycker den beskriver det ganska bra.

Även om jag tror och hoppas att DirectX apin gör detta på ett bra sätt så kommer det fortfarande vara svårt att få spelkoden att köras bra parallellt.

Ska bencha lite med flickvännens FX-8320 mot min IB sedan. Hoppas hon klår mig.

This week we launched the highly anticipated AMD FX series of desktop processors. Based on initial technical reviews, there are some in our community who feel the product performance did not meet their expectations of the AMD FX and the “Bulldozer” architecture. Over the past two days we’ve been listening to you and wanted to help you make sense of the new processors. As you begin to play with the AMD FX CPU processor, I foresee a few things will register: In our design considerations, AMD focused on applications and environments that we believe our customers use – and which we expect them to use in the future. The architecture focuses on high-frequency and resource sharing to achieve optimal throughput and speed in next generation applications and high-resolution gaming. Here’s some example scenarios where the AMD FX processor shines: Playing the Latest Games A perfect example is Battlefield 3.

Benchmarking done with a single AMD Radeon™ HD 6970 graphics cardCreating in HD Those users running time intensive tasks are going to want an AMD FX processor for applications like x264, HandBrake, Cinema4D where an eight-core processor will rip right along. Building for the Future This is a new architecture. Compilers have recently been updated, and programs have just started exploring the new instructions like XOP and FMA4 (two new instructions first supported by the AMD FX CPU) to speed up many applications, especially when compared to our older generation. If you are running lightly threaded apps most of the time, then there are plenty of other solutions out there. But if you’re like me and use your desktop for high resolution gaming and want to tackle time intensive tasks with newer multi-threaded applications, the AMD FX processor won’t let you down. We are a company committed to our customers and we’re constantly listening and working to improve our products.
