Hello,

I swapped yesterday my i7 3930K to Xeon E5 2697 V2 in my home office machine. I was kind of disappointed when I cannot change multi beyond 27 at all (even though all loaded CPU speed by...

It will on some levels - few things are pointing that way:
-cellphones already hit their maximum sensible size limit, which also limits their TDP
-power constrains/TDP/size limits performance,...

With that in mind I went with 3930K, I was considering some Xeon 8 core that were selling cheaply, but it was fishy(seller did not wanted to tell how he got the chips) and I figured out that I will...

Hopefully there will be consumer 8 core chips before the end of this year. I really want to buy them, Intel just does not let me :( I was planning to buy 8 core Sandy Bridge E, since there were not...

I also think this cannot succeed. Specs like this will be very soon outdated (4x Cortex A15 at 2.0 Ghz + will be reality inside tablets in 2013 I think, GPUs can get much more powerful too). Without...

As probably I won't get any answers, I'll ask another thing - if Ivy Bridge E does NOT come out this year and I would like to buy 8 core Sandy Bridge E Xeon, which boards support it properly? I know...

Hi,

For some time I was planning to build 8 core desktop. At first I thought that it would be possible with Sandy Bridge E, but despite having 8 physical cores, they limited non-server edition to...

Yup, but there were leakes S2011 8 core benchmarks too, why there are no new leaks? We've seen mobos, nothing more lately.

Argh :mad: I was planning to buy one this fall. Now I will be stuck with old P4 until next year. If its decent I might go with Bulldozer(needs to be better than current SB).

It happened again today. Check attached screenshot - active tab is rendered incorrectly. Does anyone have similar issues?

Unfortunately it does not work too well with Intel Integrated graphics - at least on my Core 2 Duo at work (Mobile Intel($) 4 Series Express Chipset Family GPU, driver version 8.15.10.2302) for few...

Disappointed if true. I was hoping for <=500$ 8 core Sandy Bridge E, like initial leaks were suggesting. With such roadmap it would make no sense to upgrade from 6 core Westmere - I mean updating...

Modern mobile 3d games use OpenGL ES on all platforms, iPhones uses C and Objective C, Android uses C and Java, Samsung Bada uses C/C++, Windows Phone uses Compact .NET framework(and I guess it can...

Not a single price-cut :(

AMD Phenom II X6 didn't affect pricing after all :(

But to change official specs of cards? Did that ever happened before? I mean rumors of retail Fermi not having 512 cuda cores, but less than that.

Did you see nVidia statement about Fermi on its websites?

Certain statements in this press release including, but not limited to, statements as to: the benefits, features, impact, performance and...

Thanks, I will try these out and post results once I'm back from Microsoft Technology Summit tomorrow:)

EDIT: Installed them and they seem to work fine, I will test audio quality later and post an...

Hello, I have Sound Blaster Audigy SE on old Pentium 4 system, specs in sig. When I installed Creative driver for Windows 7 I often hear pops, cracks and clicks when playing any sound, including...

Hi, does anybody know some host, that provides external access to MS SQL or mySQL databases for free?
I've searched a lot, and cannot find such host :(
Anybody can help me?

I need it for my...

You are 100% right - it's all about finding a balance for your uses - if it helps you when you OC your CPU to 4 Ghz - you should do it, if it not - then it's only for bragging rights,wasting power &...

That's why most sites nowadays play game and record FPS using FRAPS or instead of playing game they have macro sending keystrokes,mouse moves and clicks, that simulate real gameplay.

Here is another test of scaling of modern CPUs under lower resolutions:

It's Polish, but results are universal:) I will dig some older results when...

+1 Opera - lightweight, fast, safe & secure, doesn't need anything else (besides some stupid sites, that work in IE only).

Just to bring some optimism to the discussion - i have Barracuda 7200.8 250 GB(for 3 or more years) and 7200.10 500 GB (since series 10 release). No signs of failure :up:

Look at the table with 3dsmax score breakdown

Only ~10% faster in SpaceFlyby?
I guess that represents Nehalem single-threaded...
