Intel Atom Z3580 benchmarks

Benchmarks of Atom Z3580 in Dell's Venue 8 7000 tablet. It fares ok compared with the rest of the ARM world, although not up there yet. Battery life is rather good also. I see no reason for it not being implemented in more devices...

Want an unlocked 12 core Extreme Edition?

You will be surprised how badly image processing software scales with no of cores. I'm talking Photoshop and Lightroom included, not to mention other garbage like proprietary raw processing software, etc. This kind of software actually scales better with frequency, although there are tasks where...

[FUDZILLA] No Broadwell for Desktop

Well, I take your argument regarding the controller interface being currently limited to x4 or 20Gbps but the Thunderbolt controller is still 4*10Gbps, you can check the specs. This might be just marketing right now, but I personally believe that what this means is that the controller can easily...

[FUDZILLA] No Broadwell for Desktop

Not enough bandwidth? Thunderbolt 1 is 10Gbps * 4 (four independent lanes). Thunderbolt 2 is also 10Gbs * 4 but it can pair two of these for 20Gbps bi-directional. So that's 40Gbps overall for each version, with a limit of 10 or 20Gbps in various applications. USB 3.1 will be 10Gbps. So...

i7 3820 or E5-2670??

That's a very good price but that cpu is not fully unlocked. Are you sure you can get it to those frequencies? Considering the stuff you're into, 2670 is a much better option for the long term.

i7 3820 or E5-2670??

Well, everyone around here is making the assumption that since the new consoles are on 8-cores cpu's then the new games will get optimized for multicore. Anyhow, there is a clear trend towards multi-threading, I don't see why games wouldn't follow it, especially considering the move in...

E5-2670 by any means if gaming is not a priority.

Solder IHS to 3770K?

Source an electric pan, something with a thermostat would be great. - Place the IHS upside down in the pan. - Smear a very thin layer of good quality solder paste / flux inside the IHS, in the center, where it makes contact with the dye. This will stabilize the solder shavings and will allow...

Intel to Supply Apple with Special High-End Haswell Processors for MacBook Pro [MacRu

I just don't get why the other computer manufacturers can't get their act together and release a proper mobile workstation. I don't want it cheaper that MacBook Pro, I just want an alternative and the broader thunderbolt support that this would bring. But why this is not happening is...
