AMD launches the Fusion Gaming Utility

Tyranitar24 | September 18, 2008 | News | PC Gaming Tech/Hardware 
AMD, designers of chipsets for laptops, computers, and other things, have launched their "Fusion Gaming Utility" today. When you're gaming on the PC, it gets rid of all the unnecessary processes that are running, allowing you to game at your maximum potential.

Brent Barry, AMD Gaming Strategist, noted that they think their program is ready to leave the beta stage, they're just being precautionary.
There will be three default profiles -- basic, advanced and expert -- and the ability to customize your own profile. Basic will provide, in Barry's estimate, a two- to five-percent boost on a typical system. "[The basic profile] is not gonna knock your socks off in terms of performance," said Barry. "We made it to be the easiest, safest, most non-invasive form we could make so any mainstream user could be comfortable with it." Advanced and Expert turn off more options and boost hardware, but custom-made profiles are where we've had the most fun. "Some in-house developers have been using it to 'underclock' their computers and extending battery life on laptops.
