core 15 and core 17 question

[Tech_Addict]

Hey everyone. I just started getting back into folding after I got my 980 for Christmas/birthday. The question I have is I seem to get core 15 work units more often then core 17 ones. I was just wondering if there was a way to make every single one a core 17, because when I am working a core 15 im getting 80,000 ppd. Then when I have a core 17 one i get 330,000 ppd. Its a pretty big difference, so I was trying to find out if there is a way to get core 17 every time. I guess in the end it doesn't matter a ton, because I am still getting those work units done.

Thanks.

Nope, because it would be prone to abuse, everyone would 

only want to have high point return core 17 wu's and nothing

else. All work needs doing, sometimes you will get more or

less of one or the other.

Are you referring to intels processor labeling? i7 and i5?

if so, you are in the mining/boinc/folding sub section.

I don't think it would have been impossible to extrapolate 

that something was odd if you had actually read the ops post.

What is a core 17 and core 15.

Someone could probably explain it better than me, but I think that they are basically different ways to fold a certain project. They made 17 to have AMD cards catch up to nvidia, and try to level the playing field out and make it faster overall. I think that's right. Core 17 just works faster than core 15. Also makes sense that you dont always get core 17. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
