I'm not sure how high level SRT is but could I give it just a partition? I splurged on a m500 480gb.
was really hoping the kaveri launch would shake things up and move some prices... well since the 7850 compares to an i3 in many cases... I doubt anything will change....
money is a concern.
I'm replacing my e2180 with a haswell. I chose haswell because of the lower power usage than other options (if I keep this system as long as the last one the energy savings over that time will amount to something)
at this point I play mostly starcraft 2, shogun 2 total...
I sit corrected, I thought if it was consumed doing the work the processor does it ...got consumed doing that and not heat... again, I now know better.
think the pricing will be boring (same price as an intel part with +/- same performance) or will they price couple parts to spice things up...
If I understand this....misunderstanding correctly, he is saying not 100% of power in is turned into heat.
saying 85 watts in = 85 watts out is like saying my car turns gas into heat... well yes it does but turns some of it into kinetic motion too, to go down the road.
likewise if it...
never stayed up for a launch like this.... will everything go live at 1201 EST? (by everything I mean reviews with NDA's and the actual chips going on sale)
yeah I misunderstood hit statement to be a shark tank (tv show) reference rather than "I give up, I'm leaving." which is why I edited it and removed it.
Galatian,
The reading I did suggested that AMD's chip was built for 2020, not 2014 and certainly not 2011 when most apps are still single threaded.
the amount of parallelism built into the apu is impressive but its not able to leverage that today...and might not be able to in the near...
I agree with you from an arch and performance POV... but that would be ALOT of die area (unless you're thinking of different amounts of memory) I just wonder if it would be feasible to produce and sell.
Maybe if they went back to slot A days and loaded ram up on the same card lol
don't plan to be cooling limited (trying/failing to get 212 evo for under 30...or even 33) but do want to keep it as quiet and cheap to run as possible as I'm upgrading from a poor mans 2007 (e2180 3gb ram) pc and plan to keep this one just as long. (gpu and ssd and win 7 have been added...
THANK YOU!
the reason I posed all the premises of the argument was so someone could plainly point out:
"well here's your problem, this is a wrong assumption"
I was figuring that the cpu only hits turbo under max load (also incorrect if multithreaded app in use) and max load = turbo=tdp...
I get all that, but it doesn't do anything to answer the quandary I have.
unless it drops to base clock more frequently than the non s part, how could it generate less heat on its worst day than a chip exactly the same except a higher base clock on exactly the same loads?
ok so google hasn't helped me.
toms forums also hasn't had any info
emailed anand and kyle bennet (no reply yet, they are both busy guys I imagine :) )
even intel's own tech support couldn't provide an answer (ugh... they got stuck on "TDP isn't the same as speedstep".... yes I know...)...
