Anyone know what actual changes this may make in terms of performance in games, UI and application use?
I don't understand why some people are saying it may make UI slower. Thought an extra core may give it more of a performance boost not the opposite.
Not being funny, just saying I don't understand how it technically works so having someone explain could help me understand it better. |
CPU processing is like a free way with 8 lanes. If all the cars (calculations) are trying to use one lane you will see a traffic jam and all cars will drastically slow down. When the program is coded to use 6 lanes, it will distribute the cars across all lanes and have a much higher bandwidth.
Previously 2 of 8 lanes were car pool only (OS), and have now 1 of those carpool lanes has been opened up to other traffic. Previously, carpoolers had 2 lanes to themselves (limited traffic) and didn't have issues with slow downs. Now that 1 of those lanes has been opened up to the general public - the general public will have less congestion -- but the car poolers have only 1 lane.

Awesome analogy, thanks for that :)
