Cryptocoin Mining?

You have cheap electricity, but it's not quite that cheap. You're forgetting a "Fuel and Purchased Power" rate of 2.758¢ per Kwh (2.087 base + 0.671 adjustment) and a transmission adjustment of 0.030¢ per Kwh, plus possibly some taxes which I couldn't find. So the rate is 5.092 to 8.092¢ per Kwh...

[PCPER] beema and mullins

I think what we're going to see is aggressive turbo combined with lower base clocks. I'll bet you just about anything that PCMark 8 Home doesn't get the A6-5200 to anywhere near 25 W. Likewise, I suspect that 3DMark 11 is pretty easy on the CPU and AMD is not fully shifting the 25 W TDP to the...

First Steamroller processor core exposure

I think AMD already mentioned that 35 W Berlin would have about 700 Gflops total. That is the basis of their calculation, not the 100 W part. The Opteron has a base frequency of 2.8 GHz. FMA counts as 2 flops, so the calculation is: 16 cores * 2.8 GHz * 8 flops/core/Hz / 140 W = 2.56...

First Steamroller processor core exposure

Do you mean to say that clock for clock, Jaguar sometimes outperforms Piledriver? Or are you actually saying an A6-5200 has higher performance than an A10-5750M? What benchmark do you have in mind, because I can't find any where that is true. But the fact that Kabini does seem to have better...

How Did Anand Let This Get Published?

HP Envy 15z, A10-5750M + 1080p screen for $620, or A8-5550M + 1080p screen for $540. Link won't work, so just copy and paste this: shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-ENVY/C9W57AV Find me an i7 with a 1080p screen for $620. Now I know the list prices are nonsense, but...

How Did Anand Let This Get Published?

I think the OP is definitely picking the wrong thing to complain about in this review. The real problem is that a $150 35W AMD processor is compared only to $300 15-17W intel processors. I'm not sure who this favors, since the price obviously favors intel, while the TDP AMD, but it makes the...

Budget CPU Integrated Graphics Performance

Well, theoretical compute power is only one factor that influences performance. Trinity is starved for memory bandwidth. Compare the HD6670, 96x5 shaders at 800 MHz to the A10-5800K, 96x4 shaders at 800 MHz. The HD6670 has a 128-bit GDDR5 memory interface for 64GB/s bandwidth. The A10 has a...

Justifying buying a lower wattage System

Running 24x7, each watt will cost $1.00-1.50 / year for electricity priced at $0.11-0.17 / kWh, which covers most of the US. My desktop consumes about 200 watts at idle, and is six years old, so I would have spent $1200 on electricity if it had been running 24x7 since I bought it. If I lived in...
