Hum Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Saw this video on Youtube. It seems to work. You may want to give it a try, although I suggest setting a System Restore point, first. Yes -- I know that this TheoJoe character has posted fake videos in the past, but this seems genuine. You decide ... I posted my Results below.

xendrome Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 lol let me guess, Parked Cores? oh what, they are disabled you say? This kid doesn't understand how things work and is only doing stuff like this to get youtube views. Nice, all of his videos are garbage "How to Get Unlimited Cell Data for Free (Any Carrier or Phone)", "How to Get Free Cable (All Channels)", and "How to Get an Xbox One S for Free" etc. What a jerk. Might need to move this to Jokes and Funny Stuff Circaflex and satysin 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan R. Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Another stupid guide to supposedly get something for free. Just like that other stupid video you shared of a guy in India using Amazon's cloud to get fast internet. It is common knowledge that Windows sees hyper threading threads as logical processors. Just because the terminology of MSCONFIG is outdated - equating threads with processors - doesn't mean you're "unlocking cores". That measly "performance increase" is just from basically forcing Windows to spread out the work load across all threads whether or not it is actually beneficial to the task at hand.

Hum Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 I actually tried it. The Settings he talked about are there. I have an AMD CPU, not Intel. So my System Config had 0-7 logical cores. I did seem to get some speed boost, or I would not have posted this. As I said,TheoJoe has posted non-sense videos. Hopefully someone with an Intel PC will try this and give us the results.

Did you run those exact same benchmarks after the tweak was applied and more than once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further, benchmark results are one thing. Real-world is another. Forcing all processes across all threads is NOT beneficial to all work loads. It's best to let Windows manage the threads.

I have a 5960x at work. I assure you, without any modifications I can see and use all 8 cores (shows as 16). The other 8 are HT. You are right. His video is non-sense.

Hum Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 Intel Patents Redundant Cores In a Many-Core Processor To alleviate failure concerns, the patent covers an approach of core management, which is heavily focused on temperature monitoring of the individual cores: "Because many semiconductor failure mechanisms are expressed at elevated temperatures, temperature thus has a direct bearing on core MTTF [mean time to failure] and many-core reliability," the patent document explains. "If the temperature cannot be decreased, a many-core processor would activate spare cores to protect both the possibly failing core as well as neighboring cores. Both failed and spare cores are described to "absorb heat generated by active cores, driving the temperatures on the active cores down." http://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-patent-many-core-processor-multicore,14205.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intel has been doing it for a long time and AMD's bulldozer processors started using it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
