The new unlocked i5 and i7 CPUs hit the market today on sites like Newegg and TigerDirect. At least on Newegg they are OEM, no cooling provided. Claims of 4GHz with air cooling have been on the net, but as my grandmother used to say, "The paper hold still" (her translation from the German).

Hi! Have you looked into replacing the UPS battery with a larger capacity one? This does not always work, especially if the UPS manufacturer never intended for larger batteries to be used. The charging system may behave improperly, especially with a cheap UPS. This is the preferred (and...

Hi! APC sez in their owner's manuals..."do not plug a UPS into another UPS or into itself". I've never been able to talk myself into ignoring that just to see what happens. I expect that plugging a UPS into itself is begging for disaster and will be very stressful on its circuitry at the...

Hi, This is regarding a job opportunity with one of the premium client in Bangalore Dexcel Electronics Designs (http://www.dexceldesigns.com) Dexcel Electronics Designs, an embedded systems design and R&D house was incubated in the year 2000. It was started with a vision to be a leading provider...

i7 Core something?

VDC is conducting its annual survey of mobile and embedded engineers so if you are involved in the engineering of mobile or embedded systems/software, this is your chance to influence key solution suppliers. The research covers embedded software, hardware, tools, and development practices. Your...

Because several threads have involved ATOM, I share these links. Intel press release on the z6xx line (products ship 4Q10). http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/2010/20100504comp.htm The relevant wikipedia...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Are there any intel (cpu)-powered HP calculators? Thanks. - --

I'm looking to build a really small inexpensive email and web browsing box for my brother, an autistic person who lives a very small room in my sisters house. The D510 looks like it might fit the bill. I like a lot of things about this processor and a small netbox should be easy to cobble...

I find for most applications the same is true of 32 bit. Fortunately x86 maintains multiple widths of working registers from 8 bits up, which can be taken good advantage of in some cases. For my work, probably half of my variable can be held in 8 bits. Probably 40% require 16 bits...

I have detested the old x86 segmented architecture for about three decades. Where "about" is "less than", given the release year of the 80286? (-: x86_64 doesn't even support segmentation. And good riddance!!! What took them so long?! :-)

Yesterday I bought a new Intel X25-V 40GB SSD drive. I first tested it in a running system, Windows 7 was installed on a 500 GB HDD. I used HDTach and the performance was superb. http://www.imagesforme.com/show.php/1102832_New.jpg I then installed Windows 7 on SSD. I disabled Windows Search,...

Hello, I know, this is a pretty outdated consideration now, but could somebody explain why is the total amount of memory the D850EMVR desktop board can accept dependent on memory speed? Indeed, from this page http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d850emv2/sb/cs-010572.htm, the...

I hacked the MS Pascal compiler to be a little more intelligent about using ES, and got an immediate 15% performance uplift in our code, and I bet your code was 10 times worse as far as thrashing ES. Do you mean not enough segment registers? The 286 had a real ...

I am told that Windows 2000 video drivers for current hardware (i.e. Intel® HD Graphics, NVIDIA, ATI, etc) are scarse to non-existent. Does anyone know what (if any) video drivers are actually functional for W2k sp4 and current gen video devices on Intel platform (i.e. Clarkdale)? Perhaps certain...

i would rather see Arrandale on a desktop, rather than Clarkdale. would be great for 24-7-365 htpc. i am afraid pintrail is too weak.

The x86 line is long past retirement time, but the IntelMicrosoft cartel won't allow it. Intel spent much of the 1990s and a large amount of money trying to retire it and convince the world that IA64 was the thing to use instead. The world stuck with x86, and came up with x86-64. So...

While looking at Intel i7 CPU's I see names like Bloomfield, Clarkdale, Gulftown, Prescott. What do they mean, and what's the difference bewteen chips with the different names? Thanks.

I'm getting ready to custom order a new system to replace a P-4, 3.2Ghz computer I've been using since I built it six years ago. I want to get the best I can without going crazy with a thousand dollar CPU. I'm leaning towards an i7, probably 920? Is this my best choice? I'm not a gamer, not into...
