It are ordinary lithium polymer cells so 3.7V depleted and 4.2V full. 4S1P thus gives a voltage of 16.8 to 14.8 integration over that range times the capacity per range we get the total amount of energy in the battery.That Acer E5-552G has been seen before. 2x4GB is nice. FHD too. What voltage does that 4 cell have? At the 14.8V I found somewhere, this should be ~37Wh.
The 93% starting point and other methodical problems do exist. But that 4% discharge might just be some internal guessurement error, as it flows back to the original trajectory.Some troubling methods at NBC....
Battery life in minimal power is measured with a battery that is charged at only 93%.
At 45mn the battery capacity is shaved of 4% of its capacity in a matter of 2-3mn, this amount to full loading using the dGPU.
Since the total capacity used for battery life tests is 92% of the total capacity this reduce the autonomy number by 12%, indeed their fishy number would amount to 5W comsumption under battery while this is contradicted by the measurement at the main wich is 4.1W...
The Stilt also unlocked the machine for free cTDP settings and already did some GTA V benchmarking.Good find, though his machine is TDP limited to 25W. He's sure to provide some interesting feedback on the machine.
Also, it's looking like Eurozone gets the better laptop designs. Go figure.
it flows back to the original trajectory.
You can set when to switch of with a little registery hack. And 0% charge won't damage the battery that is just around 3.7V. It's not like it is possible to discharge beyond that as that would rapidly reduce capacity of the battery. Only way to do so is take the battery out of the laptops and open it up then connect the terminals trough a small resistance and drain the shit out of it. The reason you have to open it up is because if you just take the outside terminals the board with over discharge protection will stop further discharge., surely a good idea when one knows that if such a battery get to 0% charge it will be definitly unusable...
As I was taking a stroll here in Sweden I decided to check if the local retailers had received any Carrizo laptops, as they seemed to have appeared online.
To my surprise, both Carrizo and Carrizo-L were present :biggrin:
Lenovo Ideapad 500 -
A10-8700P, 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM, 1080p. :awe:

At least AMD seems to receive a fair chance somewhere ^_^
That's $750-900 USD, which prices it above the cost of a notebook with an i7+dGPU (GT 840, 940, or 950). How much is an i7+dGPU in Sweden?
Maybe VAT is included?
Maybe VAT is included?
Those are Kaveri no Carrizo they are junk utter junk. I speak from experience what notebook uses 8W idle in 2014. That is what my old sandy bridge based quad core + GT555m used when idle I mean cmon.Yes, VAT (25%) is included.
Something to note, these two retailers I visited are expensive ones. It's where the ordinary people buy their electronics, but you can get it much cheaper online.
Here is a FX-7800P computer from one of the retailers I visited.
(7990 SEK)
And here for a much more resonable price.
(5990 SEK)
Same computer :biggrin:
Regarding i7+dGPU, that costs somewhat more. After ignoring the products that you can get with a discount, I found this computer. Lenovo Z50. i7-4500u+GT 840M+256GB SSD.
9995 SEK, which equals about 1170 USD.
It seems Carrizo(+dgpu) is matched nicely against i5's and i7's on igpu.

As for the ram being 1x8GB with the Carrizo ones it figures
It was simply to illustrate that the retailer in question has high prices.Those are Kaveri no Carrizo they are junk utter junk. I speak from experience what notebook uses 8W idle in 214. That is what my old sandy bridge based quad core + GT555m used when idle I mean cmon.
Thanks, I corrected my last post.As for the ram being 1x8GB with the Carrizo ones it figures
Ah I see.It was simply to illustrate that the retailer in question has high prices.
Thanks, I corrected my last post.
I wonder if it is possible to switch RAM to faster, 2 sticks 2133 Mhz RAM. :awe:
Doesn't really change the fact that Kaveri was not a good laptop proc really. Beema was good Kaveri just wasn't.Those idles numbers are due to Kaveri+Fch and not platform power alone.
It would be ridiculous to buy a Carrizo 8700P for prices more than 600 euro / 650 dollar. For that money, you can grab the first i5 + dGPU configurations, which are better across the whole board. So guys, please dont get too enthousiastic about Swedish crap which costs almost a thousand dollars.
However, it convinces me only MORE that i'll ONLY get a Carrizo powered device if it has TDP at 35w, or I can configure it myself (like the Stilt did). It's just a waste of performance and potential to get a 15w variant.
15W Carrizo should stack up very well against other 15W TDP-range processors in the laptop market segment. It just won't be all that special in general, nor will anything else in that TDP range.
If you're in the market for 15w, take Carrizo-L. The A8-7410 is a smarter choice because it costs less. Interesting things about new silicon isn't the power envelope, but the procentual gains in performance. If you take Carrizo 15w, you don't have those performance gains. And it will have even less to offer when Skylakes i3s arrive.
I would expect Carrizo to be much "snappier" than Carrizo-L in day to day usage- being able to briefly turbo to much higher clocks in bursty workloads makes a big difference.
