LENOVO PERFORMANCE TUNER vs. COMPETITIONHIGHEST LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE TUNING CAPABILITY

PROCESS OPTIMIZATIONOne of the key advantages of Lenovo Performance Tuner is it’s management of processor a�nity. While HP has this as well, Lenovo Performance Tuner adjusts the a�nity of the other processes on the system as well. This allows us to be able to fully reserve a CPU or core(s) for the optimized application.

PROFILE EDITING AND MANAGEMENTLenovo Performance Tuner allows user’s to create custom profiles for any application. This is a big advantage for power users. IT admins do not like this. We will allow IT policy to disable this in the Fall release.
