new AMD cpu drivers may 2006 update

http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/..._13118,00.html

version 1.3.1 for windows xp, 2003, xp x64, 2003 x64 , and for linux (1.60.01)

Installing now....

-k0nsl

I wonder what changes AMD made to the driver...

Please post some feedback on it asap...which one exactly you are downloading the one almost at the bottom?

I'm using this one:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/cont...mdcpusetup.exe

For my AMD X2 4400+

I've installed it when I first saw the initial post and it has been running since then. I can't do much now because rosetta is running :x

I'm also curious what the changes are. They must have changed something since its a new version :)

-k0nsl

I am afraid of breaking my current OC ...thats why I think Ill wait for some brave user :-)

Just updated and see no problem, don't know what the changes are but unlike MS, I don't think it will break anything.......

Any difference in benchmarks? Perhaps some dual core optimizations? Yes...I am very positive thinker ! :-)

installed, not a difference yet... someone bench before and after and see if there is a difference.

installed doesnt seem any different so far but I havent benched it yet

I will wait for feedback from you guys. I just got this CPU up from 2.76 to 2.84 for the first time when I got this DFI board. I am afraid I'll jinx myself. :p

very nice performance boost for linux

How does that work?

Work fine for me, i dont bench but i saw a 3 fps rise in css.

cool. There is one thing that confuses me, why the description says stuff like this:

Allows the system to automatically adjust the CPU speed, voltage and power combination that match the instantaneous user performance need.

They make it sound like the cool and quite thingy.

Yeah right! While you're waiting,,, how did you determine that?

Haven't noticed anything particularly different but no reason not to upgrade as they don't harm anything. I obviously used the Opteron 1.3.1 driver.

Compared the time it took to compress and decompress a 1Gb file.
There was almost a 5 Minute drop. Although it is far from uber scientific.. it is rather effective.

Vapor EDIT

Apart from it being 1.5MB smaller then the previous version I have no idea what the difference is...
I could have gained 20 points in 05 but that's also within error range..

Maybe this fixes the standby issues people were having.... :confused:

Oh really, where's the screenie?

.. Any further discussion on this topic, take it to PM.

Vapor EDIT

Probably added support for AM2 and Turion X2, my guess at least.

convinced me :D

*downloads*

If anyone plans to install them please have some benchies before and after with screenies to prevent all this silly argument. A couple of pcmarks or sciencemark 2 will be ok.
Thanks
