Exactly why they need to clearly communicate (market) if the Core M is slower than a Core i3 or faster than a Core i7.
The concept of Core i3/5/7 is great but then intel shoots itself in the foot by hundreds of product segments. I'm pretty sure they only do this to match their yield to sales...
Since there hundreds of differentiating parameters (with price, performance and battery life being top 3), safe to say all Core M processors "lesser" than a 5th generation core i3 from a performance perspective? (I don't mean battery performance or anything - raw computing performance)
First off, thanks for the info!
Second, this is super confusing with Intel slicing processors in a thousand ways. Just because you can segment the products across a lot of attribute doesn't mean you should :( ...
I honestly feel that Intel should consolidate their CPU line ups to be more...
I'm somewhat unclear about how Core M fits in with the over all Core i3/5/7 strategy.
I understand Core M will be used for processors that belong to the 5th generation Core processors (Broadwell family) AND have a TDP under 5W.
But what happens to the "Core i3/5/7 lineup" in the 5th gen...
Ok, so we went with the AMD FX-8370E and everything is awesome. We had to shutdown the Hyper-V VM's for 5 minutes when migrating from our Intel Hyper-V server over to the AMD Hyper-V server (no live migrations cross architecture) but apart from that it's solid.
I would recommend a better...
The system will be up 24/7.
Ian (or another AnandTech editor),
How about a "server under $1000" (or $1500) article to address many of the concerns, opinions and hunches in this thread? The way Ars has their budget, hot rod builds. Anyone know of the best way to get their attention?
Every other component will be identical - just CPU+Mobo differ. So SSD vs HDDs are a distraction from the objective of qualitatively understanding virtualization boosts that would justify the $ premium (and also learn in the process!)
Since people asked, the base build is as follows (all...
The E variants were just to allow for an upgrade path from older systems with a lower supported TDP. That compatibility came at the expense of lower sustained performance by virtue of its lower base frequency.
Since this is a fresh build where we can influence the TDP design (mobo TDP...
First off, I understand the price points are different - this is strictly to understand the performance benefit (IF any) of the i7-5820K over the FX-8350 so we can accept or reject the price premium.
This will NOT be used for gaming but will instead be hosting a Hyper-V VM server running 4-6...
