The extraordinary thing about the Intel Skylake (6xxx) generation of CPUs are the changes in power management. As I’ve noted before, much of the real-time power management is moved to the hardware, making it much more efficient. When the OS was responsible for managing core parking, it just couldn’t do it well enough, hence utilities […]

I often find users under the misconception that they can find a way to put all those unused CPU cycles they see to work. I don’t mean at idle, I mean during CPU loads. Some think Process Lasso can do this for them, and I hate to tell them that it can’t. They are understandably […]

100% Freeware Downloads: ParkControl 32-bit ParkControl 64-bit This release of ParkControl makes a big addition – even though it’s just a small hyper-link toggle on the GUI. That addition is: Users can install or uninstall the ‘Bitsum Highest Performance‘ power plan. This pre-configured power profile maximizes CPU performance by disabling CPU core parking and frequency scaling, […]

I often get asked about network optimizations, and it’s an area of active R&D at Bitsum. I recently gave this answer to a Process Lasso user, so thought I’d share it with everyone. How do I optimize my network for Gaming? (or other use cases) Aside from having a high quality ISP, the best thing […]

Although Process Lasso is inherently very lean, being written in C++ and compiled to native x86 or x86-64 code, you can still further reduce it’s resource consumption by taking any of these steps: Set the GUI to load manually. The core engine (processgovernor.exe), running in the background, will apply all algorithms and automation. You can then open […]

We’ve now added Legacy (now called Gen1) Licenses to the My Licenses page of our new website. This means that both your legacy and new license codes (if any of either) will be listed in the same place. Since both systems will continue to function indefinitely, and they are both accessible in the same place, […]

In some cases, yes, but it depends on your goal, and you need to be smart about it. If your goal is increased performance, remember that the Windows CPU Scheduler tries to manage which threads are on what cores itself, and it’s not entirely dumb. So, when you micro-manage CPU affinities, you are second guessing […]

Recently I have seen a new round of malware-laden cracks and keygens for Process Lasso Pro. You MUST understand that your security software is not absolute protection. It’s not even close. I believe the real-world, 0-day malware detection rate lingers somewhere around 40%. If security software protected you 100%, we’d not have a malware problem in the […]
