For the vast majority of DIY users, even notebooks and netbook users, it seems that it is difficult to see the single-core CPU configuration of the purchased computer products. Dual-core, triple-core, quad-core or even six-core CPUs have become popular. For a small group of users who understand multi-core and have strong needs, they can provide very good performance improvement under specific programs or specific needs, but for many other users, more cores are not for their own applications. Not much feeling.
A small group of users who understand multi-core and have strong needs are not necessarily using the Windows operating system, but most users who do not have strong demands on multiple cores should use the Windows operating system. Of course, this is only the editor's own. A little guess. If the premise is true, let's talk about what multi-core can do, or, to be exact, for the current multi-core boot optimization tutorial circulating on the Internet, the editor will do the experience and see through some small settings. Is it really possible to increase the boot speed in a multi-core state?
Let's take a brief look at the method of using multi-core to speed up the Windows operating system boot speed. Edit my configuration brief introduction: AMD Phenom X4 810 processor, G.Skill Chichi 2GB DDR3 1333 memory, Gigabyte GA-MA785GPMT-UD2H motherboard and 320G Seagate hard drive, operating system is Windows Vista 64bit, the setting method is very simple, in Users who use Windows 7 or Windows XP can refer to it.

For those who are too lazy to click, please check this text version: Click Start & mdash;— Run (the keyboard shortcut is “Win Key+R”), enter ““MSCONFIG”, and press Enter; select “&ldquo” in the pop-up window. ; start the ” item label, then click on the left side of the "advanced option" button, in the upper left corner "processor number", select the drop-down menu, then select the most used core quantity, click OK Just, save and exit, restart.
The boot speed is difficult to monitor. We chose to use the "Condition Acceleration" function in the controversial 360 Security Guardian tool. For the sake of fairness, we restarted three times in a row and did nothing. Screenshots after the start. First let's take a look at the boot speed when the multi-core optimization acceleration function is not turned on:
The first reboot restarts the boot time using 1 minute and 14 seconds.
The startup time is really unreliable and there is no other operation. The second restart takes 48 seconds.
The third start time is slightly more reliable, 50 seconds, similar to the second time
(74+48+50)/3≈53, which is 53 seconds, the first A poor result pulled the hind legs. Let's take a look at how to use multi-core boot speed after optimization:
The first performance is excellent, 47 seconds is 1 second faster than the best score without multi-core optimization. It is the first battle.
The second result is more cups, 52 seconds is worse than 48 or 50 seconds when the optimization is turned off;
The third result is gratifying, 45 seconds is the current champion .
(47+52+45)/3=48, which is 48 seconds, saves 5 seconds compared to not turning on the optimization function. Assume that on average, we can save 5 seconds on the boot speed and 200 days in the year, so we can save (5× 200)/60≈17, which can save nearly 17 in one year. Minute boot time. Of course, the editor uses a quad-core configuration. The optimization status of the lower number of cores has not been tested. Students who have seen this article can try it on their own. You are welcome to post the test results to the Mylab Player Forum in the YORK network hardware. In addition, everyone is welcome to discuss and share their own optimized hardware.
