The era of processors configured using simple frequencies and multipliers is behind us. Today we have access to very complex creatures with advanced instructions, multiple power levels, dynamic adjustments, and acceleration modes for more demanding situations. If you want to know how to optimize your PC's processor and tweak some of those values, you might want to download a copy of Quick CPU.
Any classic hardware overclocking guide on YouTube will teach you how easy it was to extract extra performance from a processor. With several buses available (the motherboard's support was crucial) and a multiplier free from the factory, the benefits were linear and could completely transform a computer.
Nowadays, however, we have the feeling that traditional overclocking is dead. Processors automatically adjust the frequency of their cores and modify voltages according to each situation. All the silicon is pushed to the limit and most users appreciate that. But what if we want to experiment a bit? The answer is Quick CPU.
How to Optimize the Processor with Quick CPU
One of the most important controls in Quick CPU is the parking for the cores. If we remember, parking is a special sleep mode that disables cores if they are not needed, but Windows uses this resource in a very limited way (not to say rather clumsy) and under certain configurations it can cause performance problems. Quick CPU allows us to escape parking, modify the frequency scale, and indicate how deep the Turbo mode should be on compatible processors.
Another possibility is to change power plans without going through the Control Panel, activate the plan that includes the tool, edit and compare its internal values with each other, something that is conspicuously absent from the operating system. Quick CPU also generates real-time graphs of processor load, power distribution, and per-core usage.
Its analysis of memory usage is not far behind, and I would dare say it is one of the most complete on the market. In addition to presenting technical details about each installed module, Quick CPU helps us explore physical and virtual memory usage, or perform a purge of the standby list (remember that you can configure its automatic flushing). In short, nothing stops you from optimizing your PC's processor with Quick CPU, and although its advanced options are broader for Intel hardware, you should definitely try it if you have a Ryzen chip.
