Earlier this month a new version of the popular Intel Extreme Tuning Utility launched on the Intel Download Center portal. The new version carries the number v6.2.0.8 and is not so different from the previous 6.2 versions. The benchmark performance is the same and aside from the resolved issues for developers, there are no updates for the regular users.
