hi to all sifus here. i wander how amd fares intel in multitasking. is the myth about amd procs for being hotter than intel is true? can amd be left idle for a long time (torrent). kinda confused. as i dun really use so much raw power on daily basis. but i have a habit of testing softwares.
but it's not that important by the way. |

QUOTE(astria @ Sep 14 2010, 05:48 PM) that's for the older K8-based... the new K10-based CPU are much better in terms of both performance and heat... thanks for the answer. so u means that AMD 2.0Ghz is inferior to Intel 2.0Ghz? does this affects multitasking ability? a perfect example is Phenom II x4 P920... quad core, 1.6GHz, 25W...  Intel's quad core all minimum 45W...clock for clock, they are still no match, but advantage is that they are heaps cheaper...   btw, how do we distinguished between k8 and k10 based cpu? any recommendations on amd value/mainstream section?  |

QUOTE(astria @ Sep 14 2010, 06:02 PM) multitask, honestly speaking, i think that is a pretty mis-used word... thanks astria for the enlightment. if by multi-task u mean Internet + MS Office + Adobe Reader + video + music + MSN all at the same time, well, even a Pentium 4 is more than capable of that... some pretty nice AMD-based laptops: Compaq CQ42-205AU, AMD Turion II P520 + ATi HD4250@RM1649 Asus A42Dr, AMD Athlon II P320 + ATi HD5470@RM2099 Asus A42Dr, AMD Phenom II N830 + ATi HD5470@RM2599 Dell Inspiron M101z, AMD Athlon II Neo K125 + ATi HD4225@rm1499 Dell Inspirom M301z AMD Athlon II Neo K325 + ATi HD4225@rm1799 to differentiate between K8 and K10, the most obvious way is the CPU name... the K10-based models carries the "II" suffix... for eg Turion II (K10) instead of Turion (k8), Athlon II (K10) instead of Athlon (K8) also, for the K10-based CPU, the CPU number prefix starts with X, N, P or K, as opposed to M, TK, TL, MV of K8...  this give me (and hopefully others) to know amd more.  .1 more thing, since i've heard that some apps like Photoshop utilizes something in i-core procs. is there any significant difference in using amd procs? |

QUOTE(Fantasia @ Sep 14 2010, 06:51 PM) they utilise HT from intel. AMD doesnt have the feature so it might be a little bit behind when come to those apps. however i heard that the coming AMD processors offer something better than HT. i see.. but only photoshop have this feature rite?  btw, is the difference noticeable? sorry for the lotsa question, hehhehe totally noob here.  cuz all i know before is only intel. |

hi guys, i'm back with more curiousity.
.. is cache very important? as i tried to compare Athlon p320 with Athlon m320. both clocked the same but m320 has more cache.. another thing is i wonder on amd hierarchy, like intel, its i7>i5>i3, but for amd i only know phenom is the highest rank. so between athlon and turion, which is better. thanks sifu.
