We have released an updated version of the A3 core used to run SMP2 work units. The current release is now 2.17. Right now one of our SMP2 servers is requiring the new core; your client should auto-download the core next time you get work from that server.

Please do *not* update your cores mid-WU. The checkpoint format is different, and your work unit will start over from the beginning.

Thanks for your support of the project!

Some say its faster Some say it doesn't play as nicely with GPU's http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=13875

Most of my rigs are on 2.17 now

Ooh mine has updated and is running at the same speed as when I had my CPU clocked to 4.1Ghz happy days

It does seem to work faster. My i7 rig on SMP only seems to be getting about 2k ppd more than on 2.15

My i7 is reporting almost 17K PPD on a 6014. I am not sure if that has improved or not. My HFM benchmarks aren't very clear to be honest. Apparantly I have done better, but that may have been when I was running at 4.2GHz.

I am quite impressed with my Q6600 at the moment though. FahMon says 4.7K PPD on a 6012. It is only at stock speeds too. It hasn't updated the core yet, either!
