| DraconianAC said: If I remember correctly, AMD has been stating that their hardware is not completely being supported (I don't know if that's the right words, how about Optimized programing) both in the Windows OS & in many games where Intel & Nvidia have a strong grip on the market. I remember people in Hardware forums saying that the CPU's run faster in Linux & that games not backed by Nvidia run equal or better (at times). I don't know how much truth there is to those claims, but I think it will be interesting to see what happens when you tailor make software for AMD's Chips. (New APUs)
-Edit: You know what, I don't quite remember if it was AMD's or their famboy's claims. Either way, I still feel the same way. |
Well this is true.
If software is optimised more for any set of hardware then it usually runs better on it.
Most software programs prefer single threaded cpu performance. So intel usually cleans up in benchmarks etc. However when it comes to multithreaded performance AMD cpu's are level and at times better.
For GPU's it is more prevelant. Games optimised for either company performs better on that platform. You can clearly see this with tomb raider and how badly it performs on nvidia gpu's.
I dont think its just fanboy talk its actually happening but i wont point fingers at nvidia/intel they all doing it. Some more than others though.
