trodas Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I did not believe in such BS, but being very skeptical about motives is the most rational way to approach things, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Pro tip - who can actually believe that this is a bug? I would be inclined to think that this was designed to happen... Because, well... anyone observed the same bug in Win7? No? Then... why change the RTC clock to be so dependent on the CPU clock, that can change up and down any way use want? Makes a little sense to see it as error... It's not a bug, it is by design. RTC is used for systems that have no on-board clock generator. These systems are usually very low-end, where every added dollar matters. Windows 8 is designed to be compatible with all sorts of devices. I'm sure compatibility is higher on the priority list than at runtime overclocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trodas Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Massman - systems that have no on-board clock generator... Windows 8 is designed to be compatible with all sorts of devices That is a quite poor excuse for rendering the system useless benchmark-wise. Also it is the most simple thing to add something like - IF RTC clock exist, use it. ELSE use own clock. Also that does not explain why Win7 did not suffer the same "bug." Some "bugs" that actually "speed-up" things are too much of a coincidence to happen in so envolved version of a flagship product, that is supposed to go thru serious betatesting.

Massman Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 This issue only persists when the base clock frequency is adjusted at runtime. Overall CPU frequency or multiplier adjustments are not causing this. All automatic overclocking is done via the CPU ratio. In other words: except for those who downclock the bclk at runtime, this is a non-issue. That would be 99,999% of the people. I have not seen a single press release where this bug was exploited for marketing purposes. It is very fair to assume this is just an overlooked scenario when making design decisions.

Bobnova Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Microsoft probably didn't give the slightest thought to the base clock changing while in windows. Nobody does that but us remember? We're a tiny slice of microsoft's pie, why should they care in the slightest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
