About a week ago, the X2 guys here and I were doing Super PI tests. We discovered Super PI runs across both cores evenly, even though Super PI is not multi-threaded.
Last night I left task manager open to the performance tab and played BF2. To my surprise upon alt-tab back to desktop, BF2 was evenly using BOTH cores.
I have not installed the AMD proc driver, nor have I set affinity, I don't know if that has anyting to do with it yet.
Can someone else verify my claim here? I will check AOE 3 for simultaneous core usage. Even though these games and applications are not multi-threaded, it appears X2 can split the work load through the OS.
Please share your findings.
