Windows 8 is not compatible with six-core processors

The Windows 8 RP version has been released for a few days, and I believe many people have already started the "Metro" tour.

The hardware requirements of Win8 are consistent with Win7 as a whole. Add user experience test before installing the operating system (Windows 8 user experience & rsquo; testing, in fact, is compatibility testing), I did not expect this test to have problems Win8 is not compatible with the six-core processor!

The engineers of the foreign counterpart Kitiguru have clicked the compatibility test when testing Win8. The result is that the processor is not compatible with Win8 performance. He thought he was using an ancient processor, but in fact he used the previous generation of the six-core flagship — — Intel Core i7-980X, six-core twelve-thread design, three-level cache 12MB.

In fact, this is not a big deal. Although the prompts are not compatible, there is no big problem with direct installation. The reason for this kind of thing is most likely that Microsoft's test platform is at most quad-core. They think that the six-core is nothing but a high-end player. It is not used by ordinary users, so it does not test the compatibility of the six cores. I made such an oolong.

Since Intel's six cores are not compatible, AMD's six cores have eight cores...
