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.
