We are releasing another update for SP1, version SP1x (17.47).
— SP1x updates —
– Fix: Incorrect CPU frequency for Power Management Efficiency (ALU/FPU) benchmark causing Ranker to fail.
– Change: System model name instead of Hostname sent to the Ranker.
– Update: GPGPU/GPCPU Crypt benchmark performance improvements.
– Change: Simplified installer, use Options in Sandra to enable/configure features.
— SP1 updates —
– Fix: Incorrect CPU frequency displayed on Sandy Bridge in Turbo Mode; benchmark scores are not affected. The displayed speed was updated twice.
– Fix: Incorrect CPU frequency displayed on Phenom II/Fusion in Turbo Mode*; IMC and Memory speed were also affected: benchmark scores are not affected. The displayed speed was not updated at all.*
– Improvement: Multi-threaded Memory Bandwidth on Fusion*; score has doubled (~3.3GB/s) though short of what AMD “suggests”. No better solution has been found yet.
– Update: Large memory pages support re-added to the Memory Bandwidth, Cache & Memory Bandwidth and Multi-Core Efficiency benchmarks: please use Options to disable “Use Large Memory Pages” to use native memory pages.
– Update: GUI reference list colour-matched to the graphs which finally allows you to identify which result corresponds to which value in the graph.
– External Fix: GPGPU Crypto benchmarks work with the latest 266.xx nVidia drivers even in older Sandra versions.
– Fix: Minor various fixes for Windows 7/2008 R2 SP1 RTM. Again SP1 is *required* for AVX support, and no still no idea whether Vista or XP will also be updated.
