I think if people would leave their kernels alone - and use some tools that have been provided on this list - you'll see. I was frustrated myself with the 3111d binaries on Intel CPU's and requested valve to look into and showed them the difference between AMD and Intel - which is amazing -and keep in mind - everything is default - no tweaking modifying HZ's - nothing - just a plain simple install of Red Hat 8.0 - This weekend will be a great test for Steam on its CPU use.
