[Tech ARP] Mobile CPU Comparison Guide Rev. 9.6
|
 There are so many mobile CPU models that it has become quite impossible to keep up with the different models or even remember their specifications! Therefore, we decided to compile this guide to provide an easy reference for those who are interested in comparing the specifications of the various mobile CPUs in the market, as well as those already obsolescent or obsolete. Currently covering *819 mobile CPUs*, this comprehensive comparison will allow you to easily compare *up to 19 different specifications*for each and every CPU! Here are the latest updates in Revision 9.6 : *- Added the Intel Core i3-2375M dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Pentium 2030M dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Celeron 1047UE dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Celeron 1037U dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Celeron 1020E dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Celeron 1020M dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Celeron 1017Y dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Celeron 1007U dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Celeron 1000M dual-core processor. - Added the Intel Celeron 927UE processor. - Corrected the Other Features specifications for the Intel Core i3-2300M family of processors.*"

Gigabyte Next Generation Intel Preview (Enhanced Audio Motherboards) @ HardwareHeaven.com Last week we went to Taipei, one of the global cities in the production of technology and home to Gigabyte`s Head Office. Not only did we have a really interesting tour of their factory detailing how each stage of the production process is carried out but we also had a chance to meet some of their great staff and we were shown their next generation Intel boards. Today we can show you some images as well as talk about what makes them different to the competition... and previous Gigabyte models."

Intel Core i7-3970X Sandy Bridge-E CPU Review
|
|
It's no secret that Intel is readying processors based in its Haswell microarchitecture. The new chips are due to be released in the not too distant future and feature a number of noteworthy enhancements, including a much more powerful integrated graphics core.
When Haswell arrives though, it will supplant current Ivy Bridge-based processors, which target more mainstream market segments than the product we'll be showing you today. For the foreseeable future, Intel's big dog remains Sandy Bridge-E, the monstrous six-core beast which utilizes the X79 Express chipset and socket LGA 2011.
Prior to the arrival of Haswell, we figured it would be a good idea to show you just what Intel's current flagship desktop processor could do. That processor is the Core i7-3970X...

memory speed on AMD Trinity APUs
|
|
In order to find out exactly what the influence of RAM speed is on AMD processors, we put an AMD A10 5800K processor on an ASUS F2A85-V Pro motherboard and ran a number of benchmarks at various memory speeds.

News: AMD sheds light on Kaveris uniform memory architecture
|
|
At the Fusion Developer Summit last June, AMD CTO Mark Papermaster teased Kaveri, AMD`s next-generation APU due later this year. Among other things, Papermaster revealed that Kaveri will be based on the Steamroller architecture and that it will be the first AMD APU with fully shared memory. Last week, AMD shed some more light on Kaveri`s uniform memory architecture, which now has a snazzy marketing name: heterogeneous uniform memory access, or hUMA for short."

Haswell platform
|
|
Graphics is a focal point of the upcoming Haswell platform, necessitating a high bandwidth memory solution. To deliver high performance Intel is returning to the DRAM market, which it exited in 1985. The memory that ships with Haswell will be a custom embedded DRAM mounted in the package and manufactured on a variant of Intel’s 22nm process. By avoiding the commodity memory market, Intel will preserve high margins by cannibalizing discrete GPUs and dedicated graphics memory.

AMD Announces hUMA
|
|
To understand hUMA, we should first talk a bit about the UMA (Uniform Memory Access) and NUMA (Non-Unified Memory Access) architectures prevalent today. UMA refers to how the processing cores in a system view and access memory. In a UMA-capable architecture, all processing cores share a single memory address space. The introduction of GPU computing, however, created systems with Non-Uniform Memory Access, or NUMA. NUMA requires data to be managed across multiple memory heaps with different address spaces for CPUs and GPUs, which adds programming complexity due to frequent copies, synchronization, and address translation. Things come full circle with hUMA...

AMD Releases Latest Generation of G-Series Embedded Products
|
|
This is just another step for AMD to get into markets they previously overlooked or had abandoned long ago. As mentioned above, AMD will continue to lower TDPs, and eventually they will produce ARM based designs of their own to fill in the gaps left by higher power x86 products. Until that point, a G-Series processor would be a pretty compelling basis for a highly interactive TV or set top box."

Intel Silvermont Architecture Updates Atom for Phones and Tablets
|
|
After hearing Intel`s engineers and product marketers talk about it, I am cautiously optimistic about what Intel has created here. The one problem I see with that data that was presented is quite simply the time delay on product release. Tablets will likely be available in late fall but smartphones using Merrifield aren`t going to be out until early 2014, giving competing companies like NVIDIA, Qualcomm and Samsung more than enough time to respond."

AMD Details hUMA: HSA in Action!
|
|
Standalone GPUs can benefit from HSA, but not to the extent of an APU. A dedicated GPU will have its own attached memory as well as shared memory with the main CPU. Due to the communication latency issues of writing from main memory to the video cards memory, it is not nearly as seamless as what an APU can accomplish. It makes sense that such a setup would benefit a solution with a shared memory pool as well as a shared memory controller. Everything else involves more latency and differing amounts and types of memory."
