I've not had a v4 to play with otherwise I would certainly look into it. I have seen a couple of v4 pre-production CPU's reports show that BCLK strap should be supported, I don't know if it is so for production chips. People can check if MSR 0x61E is present which is required but do note that...
Is it normal behavior to have one core at 37 and the rest 28?
While the exact same method might not work for V4 there was a poster earlier who showed that bclk straps might be possible. IOW it might be possible to OC both CPU and RAM so 28 becomes 35 or 46...
Well I often wonder if some of the mobile chips are desktop rejects because they didn't make the thermal spec so lowered clocks and TDP to compensate then not even sold at a lower price but at a premium. I've had a desktop i3 undervolted at the same clock (2.7GHz IIRC) as a "U" (low voltage)...
Higher temperatures for same clocks and workload can dissipate more power. However isn't reducing temperatures going to encourage people to overclock higher and draw even more power resulting in even higher current draw and possibly faster degradation over time?
Zero to none going by this post a couple of months ago
Sounds like there's probably going to be some happy laptop users, well those with deep enough pockets.
The Xeon's also use M to denote supported memory capacity such as the 8180 and 8180M
Anandtech have already quoted an i9-8950HK mobile CPU for laptops. Shouldn't confuse a mobile i9 with DT i9.

I already linked some laptops in the previous post above yours...
Well the last extreme (X) mobile was the Haswell i7-4930MX / 4940MK AFAIK and those chips commanded a listed price of $1000+ but who know's how much the manufacturer's paid after any concessions they may have had. From the results I've seen the 4930MX / 4940MX didn't seem to perform that much...
Sometimes similar but with different features. Sometimes different, integrated graphics for example.
Why don't laptop manufacturers use the much cheaper DT dual core i3 instead of the more expensive mobile dual core i7, just because of packaging or something else?
DT and mobile are two...
CPU-Z in your link is not measuring core voltage, it is measuring core VID, two different things. Since core voltage is read through a relatively slow ADC it represents an integration of the voltage (average) unlike the VID which is an instantaneous reading that needs the core active to be able...
Relax, ME is to do with the chipset and nothing to do with the CPU. Your results are probably due to ME being FUBAR or lacking MEI driver.
Systems from ME 11.0 and upwards are quoted as vulnerable which means chipsets with Skylake and later.
Took me a while to find
Report of an i7 8550u pulling up to 44W although not sustainable for long periods.
Also FWIW my DT 1050Ti can pull 100W but then that is OC'd.
@Markfw took a look at that BIOS option and it's intelligent enough to know if it was run from A or B and copy over to the other chip. Do note that BIOS settings for that flashed chip will likely be set to default.
Tool setting when running from BIOS 'B'
Confirmation
Takes a while to do...
Don't think you'll find any 11.5 reporting more than 16 cores per CPU and AFAIK in the case of multi socket not more than 32. If you can post a link showing otherwise, please do.
That's a terrible thing to say. Take my 3.15GHz 14 core Haswell at 23.14pts and do some math to convert to 18 cores...
Switch the switch after posting with the good BIOS and then flash the bad BIOS with saved backup / good BIOS.
IIRC there's also a Secure backup under the tool section which says A->B but the help says either BIOS can be recovered. I have not used it so safer to do above method rather than...
On my laptop with Optimus and W8.1, 57 was about as fast as a tortoise on crutches. Painfully slow and heaps of adverts that I never got before thanks to the add-ons. One good thing I'll say about it though was that re-installing 56 was a breeze.
I have already posted and shown that is not the case. You could also add E3-15xxM series too such as E3-1535M v5
which are mobile quad core "3" series.
People have got to get over these poorly preconceived ideas, well they don't have to but it would be nice IMHO if they did.
Never had to RMA a CPU yet. In fact total RMA would be 3 mainboards. One was with Slot A that had problems out of the BOX but was so long ago I don't remember what they were and 2 other boards with B1 revision chipset SATA problem that was more of a recall really. One of those boards was swapped...
If your DRAM speed was left as standard and the board was increasing VSA then yes, that's an ASUS problem. On my Asrock X99 I also get high VSA if set on auto but only if DRAM speed is set higher than standard for HSW / BDW but then I have always been wary of auto settings and try to set them...
If people are going to base their mobile buying decision on number of cores then that's what they might just end up with. :D
Intel have done some things that I don't agree with like when they came out with the 'm' line and compared them to the 'U' by crippling it to the same package power limit...
My old i7 6800k could be set to a Tjmax of 120C. Good to know running at 119C is perfectly fine. :)
As for killing chips IMHO the degradation would point to user error or bad CPU. Given the number of failed CPU's it would err to the former.
FWIW that's my general experience as a third party entity with average laptop buyers too. I remember one guy telling me he just bought the latest laptop and how great it was. Asked what processor and he didn't know so looked in the properties and it was an older generation CPU that had been...
For full load your processor power limits are not set high enough and consequently are seeing throttling.
Unfortunately I don't have a 2696 to see what happens with the higher turbo's but seeing as other posters are reporting all core turbo nearer 34 / 35 then maybe need to check why all cores...
The shell is to UEFI what DOS is to legacy BIOS. When you start it normally a list of mappings are generated and asks if you want to run the nsh file which is the equivalent of .bat in DOS. Unless you put something in there it's usually not there so just gets ignored anyway if you haven't...
Well if we go by the OP's argument then a i7 quad core with HT at 1.0GHz, 1.2GHz turbo with 512k of L3 cache would be better than an i3 dual core with base clock of 4GHz and 4MB of L3 cache.
Sounds like the OP's argument is irrational to me and making excuses for his wrong assumptions.
So BIOS is posting and passing off to OS. Did you leave it for a few minutes when the dots stopped? Which version of Windows is this? What partitioning format is being used? Are you able to boot the installation media now? If you can boot the installation media then try running the Windows...
I'm not familiar with Rufus, all that is needed is a standard FAT32 device for the shell and V3.EFI file. Not sure which RAID you are referring to, if it is running off the Intel sata ports then BIOS should provide the driver and they should be accessible unless running AHCI instead of RAID...
Average consumer doesn't know the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit let alone how many cores he needs. Hopefully they approach a salesman or someone for advice and hopefully they get good advice.
Here's a comparison of my mobile i7-4600m dual core and the i3 dual cores...
If using the original V3.EFI one of the checks it makes is if a microcode update is already present. If it is present it generates a message to say so and exits with changing anything as the exploit requires the processor to not be patched in order to work.
Did you back up the BIOS beforehand...
Is this an assumption or you read it somewhere so it must be true? (has been stated on the internet before). The only reference I remember seeing regarding i-core mobile was when a 'Q' was in the name depicting quad core otherwise nothing to indicate the number of cores.
If looking for...
I remember that game, unlike the PIC version you only got one shot until it was spent hitting something or going off the top of the screen. You could count shots to get the highest bonus every time on the flying saucer. Yes, I played it once or twice :)
80's covers 10 years so I don't know, I...
IIRC it was in the BIOS you were using and mentioned in one of the CFL threads, but it was quite a while ago so maybe I'm not remembering so well.
A lot of options tend to be hidden in the BIOS and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
We can see from Skylake that BCLK was limited and required...
