eerste stap naar volledige integratie CPU en GPU; aantrekkelijke GPU voor mediacenters,
Core i3 is veel interessanter; vertraagde DDR3 geheugenaansturing.
Het zit er al enkele jaren aan te komen: het samengaan van processor en grafische chip of GPU. Waar deze laatste tot nu toe ofwel op een aparte kaart zat of geïntegreerd werd in de chipset, komt Intel nu met een volgende stap in de integratie op de proppe...
O novo Core i5-661 é certamente um processador interessante. Ele bateu o Phenom II X4 965 com AMD 785G em praticamente todos os testes que fizemos. Mas em aplicações capazes de usar quatro processadores, o processador da AMD foi mais rápido: compressão...
Abstract: Intels nya Clarkdale processorer har integrerad grafik och 32 nm arkitektur vilket bör ge flera fördelar. Bland annat överklockade vi processorn till 4515 MHz. Med Clarkdale introducerade Intel sin 32nm arkitektur för stationära datorer. Teoretiskt s...
Överklockningen, 4,75GHz stabilt igenom alla tester, Intgrerad grafikkrets, Sval
Priset förhållande till prestandan
Framme vid slutet, där allt avgörs. Vi har nu fått testa denna processor- och moderkortskombination ett tag. För att börja någonstans så skulle vi vilja säga att det är en rätt märklig kombination. Mo...
Abstract: Intel tuo teho- ja keskiluokan Bloomfield- ja Lynnfield-prosessoreiden julkaisun jälkeen uutta verta myös edullisten prosessoreiden hintaluokkaan. Toistaiseksi AMD on saanut hääriä tässä luokassa yksistään. Katsotaan mitä sanottavaa Core i5-661 –prosessorilla on AMD:n Phenom II X4:ää vastaan...
Testien perusteella voidaan vetää johtopäätös, että Intelin vanha LGA775-prosessorikanta ja sille tarkoitetut prosessorit voidaan viimein haudata haudan lepoon kalleina ja vanhanaikaisina ratkaisuina. LGA1156 tarjoaa...
God ytelse, Turbo Boost og HTteknologi, Lavt strømforbruk, Pene temperaturer
Ingen spesielle
Intel Core i5 661 bringer flere spennende nyheter med seg. Med Intels nyeste 32nm-teknikk har produsenten laget en meget god prosessor som kan skilte med lavt strømforbruk, smarte funksjoner som Turbo Boost og HT-teknologi, og sist men ikke minst en...
Abstract: Intel har gjort din computers hjerne langt mere avanceret. Den har indbygget grafikprocessor, hukommelsescontroller og klarer endda surround-lyd. Klik for større billede. I begyndelsen af januar blev den tilrejsende verdenspresse under CES-messen i Las...
Abstract: Hvis ydelsesforskellen på Intel Core i7- og Intel Core 2 Quad-serien ikke viste det tydeligt nok, så er sagen nu for alvor klar. Med lanceringen af henholdsvis Core i3 og den øvrige Core i5-serie er dagen oprundet, hvor sokkel 775-processoren er bleve...
