Intel Works With Microsoft for Windows 7

| More

For the new Windows, Microsoft is aiming their operating system at not only features and functions, but as well as speed. Much effort has been put into making sure Windows 7 performs as it should, and does not turn into a downhill operating system like Vista did at its launch. Intel and Microsoft have been working together to figure out the best coding possible as far as speed is concerned. A new feature in the next Windows has been implemented because of this collaboration, called SMT parking, which provides additional support for the included Windows 7 scheduler while using Intel Hyper-threading Technology. The two companies have also used their combined efforts to analyze various boot, shutdown, sleep, and resume times on Intel platforms, so that Intel drivers, BIOS, and Windows 7 can be optimized accordingly.

ShallowBay on July 25, 2009 10:21PM and this means what for AMD? Win7 will run better on an Intel cpu, or worse on an AMD cpu? (if that makes sense) reply to this

MrAlex on July 26, 2009 04:12AM If I recall AMD and Redmond have a very good relationship, especially since ATI provide the GPU to their precious XBOX :P reply to this

The Smith on July 26, 2009 07:30PM That's what I thought! reply to this

Adam (laughla1@gmail.com) on July 26, 2009 02:26AM Yup... looks like XP for me.... AGAIN. F*** you Microsoft and F*** you Intel. I've never paid for a Microsoft product, and I never will... until they f***cking work. And I won't let Microsoft decide I need an Intel processor. Every time I post a MS related tidbit anywhere on the net I come back to one point - MS thinks they own YOUR pc. reply to this

Jub on July 26, 2009 03:49AM I hated vista and returned to xp after a few weeks trying out but i find win7 build 7100 to be great and use it more than i do xp now on my dual boot system.The only time i dont use win7 is when playing online games that use punkbuster as win7 is not supported yet by evenbalance. Having a 30% better frame rate with win7 over xp in all my games does no harm either. reply to this
