> So yeah, Windows 8 appears to use the CPU TSC without recalibrating when there's a change in TSC tick rate, but that's because the TSC tick rate isn't supposed to change. Right - I'd say that the problem they're having is just a bug in the program they use to change the tick rate at runtime, that is, not making the kernel aware of the change. The article is written as if there is something fundamentally wrong with clock implementation on Win8.
