The Windows 8 Preview is able to use AMD Bulldozer's multi-threaded execution scheduler engine, but Windows 7 has not. Microsoft now has a hot fix to enable this in Windows 7 as well. PC Per estimates you could see up to 10% performance improvement in some multi-threaded applications.

Opps, Microsoft screwed up. Apparently there are suppose to be two patches required to improve Bulldozer's Windows 7 performance. And they are scheduled to launch together Q1 2012. This one patch coming out now was an accident and Microsoft has now removed it. Seems some users had negative performance after the patch.
