You must be unfamiliar with VBA macros, as they also are all unoptimized. This benchmark is perfect as it represents exactly what is mostly ran on excel(Which is code made to just work, only sometimes optimized for speed). Someone who spends most their time working with these custom excel...
You show me anywhere where I can get a solid baseline comparison of single core IPC, this excel test is relevant as that is exactly what it shows(clock for clock). Looking for Ryzen IPC comparisons, few and far between, this has also been asked on hardforum.
We need Some Ryzen benches to show the IPC gain. AMD has been at the bottom for excel crunching for awhile, would be great to see those numbers as I contemplate an upgrade. Would love to see this benchmark get resurrected as it is still super accurate for excel workloads.
Waiting for the asrock board to appear on amazon(Gift Cards!). What a nifty platform, 4K out of the box on HDMI or DP1.2, Wish the DVI-D would support my 1440P monitor, but I am liking the options. Especially the DC input on the asrock board. It's a good excuse to obtain the new samsung monitor...
Its possible, check your bios settings, if you have a card and kill-a-watt you can try it out yourself. You're talking pennies a year though so don't really see the point. At least for me it is .12 cents a kWhr.
You could always just build a new platform to play with, the am1 boards and cpu...
With Japan getting ECS release of two Kabini boards tomorrow, we should see similar offerings here in a matter of weeks. I am guessing initially offerings of Jaguar based motherboards starting in September with more premium boards making there way here in the states in October.
I know we are...
Those prices I posted are for Japan retail, which you should know is significantly more expensive then stateside volume prices(example- MSI R7970 BE: Rakuten(Japan) = $630 Newegg= $455)
I would expect prices to start at $100 and for the more premium motherboards(onboard wifi,bluetooth, fancy...
Good news, looks like the first kabini itx motherboard should be on the market shortly according to this article(August 22nd).
20,000 JPY for the A6-5200 (or $205) itx board or
12,000 JPY for the E1-2100 (or $123) itx board
I expect them to be significantly cheaper state side, can't wait to...
With both desktop machines and laptops trickling on to the market, January is way too late in my opinion. No official released date is is out for motherboards(or for compelling laptops either) but I am expecting the first boards to come out in august to September time frame. I will buy the...
That is a slow SSD. Not sure any of these tips can help all that much. I had the same drive in my last work laptop(Dell M4600). The write speeds seem a little lower than normal, but everything else you have posted seems to be inline with my prior experiences with that drive.
Fastest way to...
Offtopic but, plenty of boards have 4 ports for kabini, see below. It may be limited to 4 but pcie sata cards can be found very cheaply.
The Asrock KA5200-ITX has 4 SATA ports.
Also Sapphire's IPC-FT3GT2 mini-ITX motherboard is sporting 4 sata slots.
If I had a choice right now I would probably buy the Sapphire Board
But when it finally hits market its going to come to I/O and price for me( I'm only interested in an A6). Any of these Itx boards could be custom cooled and made fanless. Sure wish Kabini's launch was like Haswell in terms...
The intel version is a two chip solution, the i3 (17W) and the panther point chipset (6.3W). Kabini is one chip with all those features. They could easily fit an A6-5200 (25W) in there. Its pretty comparable to the two chip solution.
I just want an itx board, I sure wish they were on the...
