LBK Post A 13 Line Patch That Boosts Intel Sandy Bridge Performance




"It is this Git commit from the 1st of March by Intel's Zou Nan hai that we are talking about. For Sandy Bridge / "Gen 6" Intel hardware, it bumps the VS thread count to 60. It is a relatively straightforward and simple patch, but how it affects the OpenGL performance is dramatic.

"In this article are the original Phoronix test results for the Intel Core i5 2500K "Sandy Bridge" from early February using the Intel Bearup Lake motherboard (the show-stopping problem with the ASUS motherboard remains unresolved) plus the already-published Windows 7 Professional x64 Service Pack 1 results."
