Intel® GPA v3.0
Intel® GPA helps PC game developers analyze and optimize game performance on Intel® Architecture-based platforms. Intel GPA provides in-depth application analysis and customization that allows developers to easily pinpoint performance bottlenecks and optimize games for desktop PCs and laptops using Intel processors, chipsets and Intel® HD Graphics.
With Intel GPA v3.0, developers can ensure their titles run on the full spectrum of Intel® Core™ processors (e.g., Intel® Core™ i3, Intel® CoreTM i5 with Intel® HD Graphics, Intel® CoreTM i7, and Intel® Core™ i7 Extreme Edition) and chipsets with a new platform-focused toolset. The platform view for task-based multi-core optimizations and a simplified automated game launch workflow help developers save valuable time. The updated toolkit now includes support for DirectX 10.1 and 64-bit game executables.
"The Intel® Core™ i7 processor Extreme Edition automatically speeds up when your PC needs extra performance. Multi-task processing enables each core of the processor to work on two tasks at the same time, delivering the performance needed for smart multitasking. Select models of the Intel® Core™ i7 processor Extreme Edition feature as many as 12 threads to maximize performance." Concluded Mr. Zoghby.
