Windows [10] Game Mode Focuses On Performance Consistency; Will Also Benefit Win32 PC Games In Some Way

The recently revealed Windows [10] Game Mode will focus on performance consistency, rather than performance boosts..

..the mode aims to make framerates more consistent. .. Game Mode “will also limit CPU thread contention between your games and existing system processes..

..certain Windows 10 games will have Game Mode enabled by default, and players will have to option to disable it if desired.

Game Mode will release tomorrow for Windows Insiders (build 15019) and is slated for a release on consumer PCs this April.


So, when one is gaming on Windows 10, Windows 10 will make the game the "first priority" when threading conflicts occur between the game and other processes. That will probably help "weaker" CPUs (like in a laptop) play games better -- for example, AMD APUs in laptops.
