The AMD FX (Bulldozer) Scheduling Hotfixes Tested

They said in the article neither patch was "optima" and 10% gain on the cpu bottlenecked game seems good to me. the other games are probably gpu bottlenecked.

maybe your expectations were a lot higher then mine.
 
The patch wasn't designed to improve performance of each individual core. It was designed to thread the tasks in such a way that Bulldozer is able to remain in its Turbo Core state longer. Since its Turbo Core state runs at ~10% higher frequency, gains of at most 10% are to be expected.
 
Better than nothing! The article mentions that "homogeneous multi-core" chips are likely to become less popular. Maybe AMD's chip makes sense in a much longer run than an iteration or two.
