Hoping to get an extra performance boost from Microsoft’s Bulldozer hotfix? Don’t get your hopes up yet, as it seems like even if this does actually bring some improvements these are too small to even mention.
Shortly after Microsoft made public the KB2645594 and KB2646060 Windows 7 updates, TweakPC.de has tested the hotfix using an AMD FX-8150 CPU to see what is to be gained by applying this patch.
The processor was put through a series of tests including AIDA64, Twofish AES, 3DMark, Resident Evil 5 and others and found that at most the hotfix brings a 4% performance increase for this
Bulldozer CPU.
Some of these results can be viewed in the gallery bellow this post, and if you want to read the full review you can do so by following this
