從 Cakewalk 網誌看 Win8 的效能提升

剛看了一篇 Cakewalk 網誌 "WINDOWS 8 – A BENCHMARK FOR MUSIC PRODUCTION APPLICATIONS"。從中看到 Win8 能顯著提升音樂軟件的效能! 這的確令我對 Win8 有多點期待。

以下是簡要一下結果:

SONAR CPU load at low latency

• low latency plugins… 15.5% CPU reduction
• input monitoring… 8% CPU reduction
• high track count… 23% CPU reduction
• High bandwidth audio …6.2% CPU reduction 

SONAR multi-core CPU load balancing at low latency

• low latency plugins… 23% improvement
• input monitoring… 31.7% improvement
• high track count… 30.6% improvement
• High bandwidth audio …17.5% improvement 

Memory usage

• 7.9% reduction in memory use

Disk Performance

• 78% improvement

System calls per second

• 85% reduction in system calls

Kernel use

• 25 – 50% reduction in kernel use
