What are your PC specs? - General Questions and Answers

What are your PC specs? Lets see what you all got.
These are mine:
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.20 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Coppermine 800, 768 MB of SDRAM, Voodoo 55500, Intel chipset, 98 SE.
That's the one tower that works 100%. As you see, it's a legacy PC. I use it for turn of the century gaming.
My most commonly used laptop has a Tyler core TL-68, 8GB DDR2, ATi Radeon Xpress 200, and a 512GB M4 SSD. It's down right now because the Radeon is fried. I have the replacement but have not installed it yet.

[Q] is better a dual core-single channel ram or single core-dual channel ram?

Hello, what i'm asking about is your experience day by day in general performance between two different platforms:
1) Qualcomm-Snapdragon: MSM8255 45 nm ARMv7 1 GHz Scorpion, GPU Adreno 205 RAM, Dual-channel 333 MHz LPDDR2 (Es. Sony Xperia Mini 2011 model)
2) NovaThor: U8500 45 nm ARMv7 1 GHz Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9, GPU ARM Mali 400 (single-core), RAM LP-DDR2 (Es. Sony Xperia U)
Seeing different benchmark in youtube looks like the Snapdragon overcomes generally, but in fact i need more accurate opinion, please share!
Thanks to all!

Is possible no one has an idea on it?

[Q] Ramos W32 - Windows 8

Hello, I plan to buy tablet Ramos W32 and I was wondering if it is possible to install Windows 8 on it and if it runs properly. It has an Intel Atom processor, so this should not be a problem. It also meets minimum Windows 8 requirements.
Here are tablet's specifications:
CPU: Intel Z2460 , Intel Atom Z2460 1.6 GHz
GPU: PowerVR GX540
RAM 1GB,DDR3
Storage 16GB
Resolution: 1280 x 800 Pixels

[Q] GPU: Mali 450 octa core VS PowerVR SGX 544MP3 ?

Mali 450 octa (the one rumored to be used on the note 3 ) VS PowerVR SGX 544MP3 (this is the one used on the Samsung galaxy s4 octa) ?
Which do you think is better?
Thanks

Tough one, from what i gather it seems that it is more sensible that samsung should use a tablet gpu in the note 3(eg.Mali-T604), the Mali-450 in an 8-core GPU while the PVR SGX 554Mp3 is a 3-core, the Mali-450 MP8 is a 2*Mali-400 MP4(not a very nice thing to do genii -_-) http://www.arm.com/files/event/3_ARM_Mali-450_Introduction.pdf so thats 2 x mali-400 benchmarks. according to http://www.cnx-software.com/2013/01...e-gcxxx-vs-powervr-sgx-vs-nvidia-geforce-ulp/ , texture pixel rate for the Mali-400 is 1.6G Pix/s for 1 core @ 400 MHz and the SGX is 1 G Pix/s per core @ 200 MHz, that means its 1.6 * 8 for the mali-450 MP8 and for the SGX is 2 * 3 **not sure here, could be 2*3 or 4*3** . Which means that the mali 450 mp8 is in total capable of 12.8G pix/s and the SGX 544 mp3 is capable of 6G pix/s AT 400 MHZ ONLY!! keep in mind that the sgs2 came out at 267 Mhz is something like that happened it would change the game completely. so at the same speed the mali-450 wins but i think it will consume alot more power than the sgx 544 mp3 since its 8 cores vs 3 cores, and i dont think u need that power in a 1080p device, so i feel it will be clocked much lower than 400 at maybe 200 or 250, giving it the same performance as the SGX at 533.

Hey the mali 450 is not an octa 8 core GPU , it has 4 cores not 8!!!
it has 4 fragment processors and MAY BE SCALABLE TO 8. so there are not 8 because I checked wth arm in their forums :laugh::laugh::good:

actually there many different variants of mali 450 2,3,4,8 cores.
Also check this "http://www.notebookcheck.net/ARM-Mali-450-MP4.116281.0.html"
Arm mali 450 mp
Looking on the ARM site. It lists MALI-300, MALI-400 MP, MALI-450 MP. Nowhere does it list MP2 or MP6 or anything like this. The ARM site also has a diagram image of the MALI-450 MP. It has 8, I repeat 8! Fragment Processors.
Next!
Go to Wikipedia! Do a search for MALI-450 MP. You will get a page titled MALI (GPU). On that page, as it states in the page title, is a list of all of the MALI GPU's. The MALI-450 MP is listed as having 4-8 cores. The MP2, MP4 and MP6 variants have come onto the GPU as variants for the SoC they are running with. Listed is AMLogic with the 8726-M8 series (M801, M802, S801, S802) for the MP6 and 8726-M8B series (M805, S805) for the MP2. MediaTek with the MTK6592 Octa SoC has the Mali-450 MP4 @ 700 MHz.
So!
The literature and ARM specs have the MALI-450 MP listed with Multi Core Scaling of 1-8 cores. Wiki has listed as 4-8 cores. Therefore, how can anyone say that it is a 4 core? It is an 8 CORE GPU.
I am no expert and I DEFINITELY don't purport to know more than any of you guys. But I do my research! However, if you have evidence to prove that I am wrong, by all means, PLEASE!?! Present it. If I am wrong I need to know! Knowledge is gathered by going down the many paths presented, many of which appear correct to start with but can be false. This is the joy of learning. How else do we answer the myriad questions we have running through our minds.
how to overclock mali octa?

[Q] Computer bottleneck ?

Hi!
I'm posting this in general, since its a general question. Not neccecarily connected to phones.
So recently I've been testing out my hardware pretty hard when it comes to games.
And I'm not getting what I want.
What I want is to play at high settings with a high steady FPS (doesnt anyone?)
Games I've been testing are:
Battlefield 4
Wildstar Online
The Elder Scrolls Online
So I'm thinking of upgrading my computer,
but I'm wondering what I should upgrade first, or if its even needed?
I thought of upgrading my RAM to 32GB, or buying a new (or another one like the one I have?) GFX-card?
Specs:
Mainboard: ASUS P9X79 Deluxe
CPU: Intel Core i7-3930k 6-core 3.2GHz (Overclocked to 4.4GHz)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i
HDD\SSD: Western Digital Green 2TB SATA3 6Gb/s + Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120GB
RAM: Kingston DDR3 HyperX 1866MHz 16GB Kit (4x4GB)
GFX: ZOTAC GeForce GTX 680 2GB PhysX CUDA
PSU: Corsair TX 850W PSU
Screens: 2x 24" Asus LED VG248QE
Headset: ASTRO Gaming A50 7.1
Mouse: Mionix Naos 8200
Keyboard: Corsair Vengeance K70
Any help is appriciated!
regards,
Dag

This should be discussed in the off-topic thread....
32 gb RAM, what you wanna do? Play Battlefield 4 or develop it?
8 Gb is enough, buy a good graphics card and make sure you atleast have a processor equivalent to 2nd gen core i5

Help! Whats the difference in performance for these chips?

Hi Tech Gurus,
I'm not the most well verse with tech. Looking for some guidance.
I'm in the market for an external android box for my car. There are 2 options I'm choosing from with the following hardware:
1. Grom VL2: Rockchip 3288 - Quad Core Arm Cortex A17 1.8GHz / Mali-T760 MP4 GPU
2. Lsailt: Allwinner T7 - Hexa Core Arm Cortex A7 1.2GHz / Mali-400 MP4 GPU
Which of these have better performance? 4 big cores vs 6 small cores for a head unit powered by car?
Thanks,
Tech Noob
If you're looking at the processor alone the RK3288 is 50% faster for 33% less cores and it has many improvements over the T7 design. But the speed of the system is very much affected by the amount of memory (RAM). No matter which HU you go with get one that has at least 2GB of RAM.

Both has 3gb of RAM. Thanks for the input. The T7 I believe was released in 2018 while the RK3288 was released in 2014. I thought newer might be better but thanks for confirming that the RK3288 should perform better.
