I wish Windows kernel been optimised for a given architecture. It is one of the examples where "one fits all" doesn't work. Even if Intel or AMD bring another grounbreaking generation of CPUs - giving mighty 5% increase in performance - it is all for nothing, because it gets eaten up by Windows poorly written guts. I don't know what kind of monster machine you need nowadays to watch YouTube video without audio breaking up or without having to dedicate one core just to handle the mouse.
