SUMMARY OF RESULTS (Patch vs. No-Patch)

CPU Tests -

AES : +7.3% performance

Hash : +0.2% performance

Photoworx : +3.3% performance 

Queen : +0.1% performance

ZLib : +0.1% performance

FPU Tests -

Julia : +0.3% performance

SinJulia : +0.0% performance

VP8 : +1.4% performance

Mandel : +0.3% performance

We can  see here that the patch gives a decent boost in performance with AIDA64 across the board with none of the benchmarks showing worse performance than with pre-patched Windows 7. Overall FX fairs fairly well, but the only benchmark where it pulls ahead of all the other CPUs is in CPU Hash. The AMD FX 8150 @ 4.8 ghz manages a top 2 spot when compared to the other CPUs in 4/8 tests and a top 3 spot in 5/8 tests. Naturally the 3960x @ 3.8 ghz Turbo manages to beat FX in most tests, but not nearly as singificantly as one would expect.
