P-states are what tells the CPU to move between frequencies in order to balance performance and power consumption. This feature actually moves much of the control of P-states (performance states) from the operating system to the architecture itself. I wrote about the technical details on Speed Shift back in August, but for those of you that might have missed it, here is a summary:Įasily the most interesting new feature in terms of power is called Intel Speed Shift Technology. So let's see if Intel's claims of improved user experiences stand up to our scrutiny.

And since you cannot disable the feature once it's installed, this is the one and only time we'll be able to measure performance in our test systems.
NEED FOR SPEED SHIFT TEST VIDEO WINDOWS 10
With the most recent Windows 10 update, to build v10586, Intel Speed Shift has finally been enabled for Skylake users. Intel has been on a quest to fix this problem for Android for some time, where it has the ability to influence software development, and now they are bringing that emphasis to Windows 10. It has long been known that one of the biggest performance deltas between iOS from Apple and Android from Google centers on the ability for the machine to FEEL faster when doing direct interaction, regardless of how fast the background rendering of an application or web browser actually is. It's pretty clear that Intel is targeting this feature addition for tablets and 2-in-1s where the finger/pen to screen interaction is highly reliant on immediate performance to enable improved user experiences.
