about 3% faster than a 3rd gen. Haswell isn't all its cracked up to be, especially considering how much more the decent motherboards cost compared to 3rd gen.
Not trying to sound more stupid than already am. What's the difference between i5, i7, etc.? I got 1 computer on i5 which I barely touch, and I don't even feel it's any better than this computer I'm using running Celeron, or should I say jogging.
no it means its only 3% improvement on the previous generation of i7 running at the same clock. they're different processors. i7 are the most powerful, i5 are the midrange and i3 are the low end cheap processors. Not sure if celerons are still made or if they're previous generation. If they're still made they're less powerful and cheaper than i3s.
the current 4th gen laptop processors are capable of using the low voltage rams which is 1.35v , while the 3rd gen uses the 1.5v . i think this is the most advantage of the latest 4th gen system hence it's 3% more powerful.
celerons till B480 were included under sandy bridge with the best of these able to give 1.9GHz and intel stopped making these from 2011. butt he interesting thing is that i3's 2377M were worse than the celeron with clock rate of 1.5Ghz and graphics rate of 300Mhz. @Loonylion the 4702MQ which Dark Infernape has got here is an Mobile processor , can you tell the difference between Mobile and desktop processors .
mobile processors are less powerful. they consume less power and create less heat than their desktop counterparts, but are capable of less as a result. Also you typically can't buy them as a standalone package.
Yesterday i updated my nvidia drivers to 337.88. Oh and i ran and tested a few ISO's on Pcsx2, and everything i tried ran fine, at constant 60 fps even with the "Enable Speedhack" check box disabled. I tried Dirge of Cerebrus, Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 etc Even then i could see the fps rise to 62 and 64 sometimes. And on the Balanced power setting, i could get stable 60 fps at 3x Res Scaling and dropped by about 2-5 fps each time for the rest.
just another question , this might be not releated to the topic but still when we but the motherboard and HDD separately , are the jumpers pre arranged or do we have to do that in the HDD and motherboard.
jumpers are not used anymore. (I assume you mean the caps you had to put on pins to choose master/slave/cable select). If you meant something else, please elaborate.
sata is one device per channel so theres no such thing as master/slave. some SATA HDDs can have a jumper set to limit the speed, but it wont come set by default and its very rare that you'd need to set it. About the only jumper found on motherboards these days is the one to clear the cmos.
i had seen these jumpers on a motherboard last week when i had gone to the computer shop so i thought that these things are still used, i guess that motherboard was old and thanks for the info
some motherboards might have a couple for setting pci-e link speed or something, but it's quite unusual. Most of the stuff that used to be set with jumpers is now done in the bios or uefi setup.
I want a good CPU/GPU Temperature detection software. I Use Core temp on my win 7 desktop. But i want something else of my lap. Cause Core Temp makes win explorer in win 8 to crash and restart sometimes, and i tried using Speed Fan, it gives me a BSOD in win 8.1. A lot of other users has also had this problem. So any good Alternatives to Core Temp and Speed Fan??
Yep I know that. My system has the necessary sensors as Both Core Temp and Speed Fan detected the Temps. I should add this, it should be possible to minimize the software to the notification area ( bottom right hand side of win 7), just like with core temp and speed fan, so I don't have to open the app each time. Loonylion Can I do that in msi afterburner?
