With iolo’s commitment to ongoing development and innovation of technology necessary to keep computers running at their full potential, the company continues to pioneer unique approaches to maximum PC performance. New features in System Mechanic 11.5 include:
- Guided Recommendations: Guided Recommendations present a new method to address complex performance issues and allow users of all experience levels to safely optimize them with minimal effort. Guided Recommendations fuse the following three technologies:
- Tune-up Definitions™ – Within Guided Recommendations, Tune-up Definitions deliver key iolo Labs research data about the programs and applications that are affecting each individual user’s computer so that intelligent decisions can be made. Now with more than 32,000 individual definitions that are updated weekly, System Mechanic 11.5 has even more robust analytic capabilities than ever before.
- True Impact™ – By analyzing the behavior of thousands of different programs across millions of computers, iolo is now able to offer predictive advice about how these apps affect performance experience. True Impact delivers decision-driving data that allows users to quickly pinpoint resource-thirsty programs that may run hidden or only at start-up, and make potent optimizations for maximum gain.
- Collective Intelligence™ – Leverages the aggregate decisions, assertions, and key behavior of System Mechanic’s vast community of millions of users. Data is then analyzed, distilled, and stored in the cloud for each individual user to benefit from in the form of statistical summaries and recommendations as they use the software personally.
- New Windows 8 Performance Enhancements: Based on extensive testing from iolo Labs, System Mechanic 11.5 has been designed to leverage several areas of Windows 8’s unique new architecture, resulting in improved start-up performance and overall responsiveness.
