Has the 2.5 SDK introduced any new improvements that will lead to better mining performance?

Not for me.

Note that installing Catalyst 11.7+ will also install the APP SDK runtime for you.

maybe

but not right now.

the kernel makers like diablo and phateus are trying to see if they can take advantage of it now.. i believe.

Not a programmer but I heard sdk 2.5 includes native BFI_INT support which was left out of 2.4 and diablo and phateus might be able to take advantage of some of the changes and make us mine faster..

but we really have to wait and see.

Thanks.  poclbm has been faster for me than Diablo. If they update Diable for 2.5, then I'll have to give it another try.

I'll check out their official threads.
