Is Intel G2010- Ivy Bridge bang for the buck ?

As I was searching through the Internet, I did not find any good reviews on Intel G2010 which is Intel's 3rd generation processor. Let us see what this processor has to offer us :- 

Specification of G2010 :-  $62.50

2.8 GHz Clock Speed
22 nm Manufacturing Process
64-bit Architechture
55 W Maximum Thermal Design Power (TDP)
FCLGA1155 Socket Type
2 Cores
Desktop Processor


1) First we talk about is clock speed :-


As you can see the Intel G2010 is clocked at 2.8 Ghz which is not a large clock, hence this processor is a low power processor which cannot handle CPU rich features like Quick Sync Video, InTru 3D or Clear Video HD technology.
The Intel HD Graphics on the processor is clocked at 650 Mhz, but if there is a possiblity for extra consumption of Graphics , this baby can temporarily boost up the graphic frequency upto 1.05 Ghz. This is a great advantage for consumers who are more graphic oriented ( Video, Movies, Gaming, Animation etc. ).
Since there is a slight advantage of the Ivy Bridge over the Sandy bridge architecture, this means that this processor will perform equal to Intel G860 which is Intel's second generation Sandy Bridge processor.
Also, the processor does not support hyper-threading and turbo boost technology which futher reduces the processor's task's performing power.

2) Second we talk about TDP :-

As you can see the TDP of the Intel G2010 is just 55w. This means that the processor is not power hungry and this is a good news for consumers who don't need the extra power for extensive power hungry applications. This will help you save tons of electricity bill.
Lower the TDP the less power will the processor need to dissipate heat in the surroindings and vice versa. It should be noted that usually the TDP is lower for low power processors and vice versa.

3) Third we talk about Cache :-

For more information on Cache you can visit :- What is Cache?

It should be noted that the Intel G2010 comes with L3 Cache, this is a good news for gamers who are more keen on the L3 cache. The performance boost by L3 cache varies from 2-50%, it just depends on the game. Thought much of the gaming performance boost is given by the core performance and the number of cores present.
Like the earlier "G" series processors this baby will be preferred for low budget gamers. Combined with a decent GPU, the Intel G2010 can give a good gaming performance.

Conclusion:-

If you are on a tight budget and do not want a much powerful PC , then Intel G2010 is your best option. This processor is bang for the buck, but I wont recommend you to upgrade your existing systems to Intel G2010. This processor can be upgraded to i3,i5,i7 for performance boost.
Intel G2010 was made keeping in mind the budget oriented section.
Also, the final thing to note is the Intel G2010 does support 3 Displays. This a good thing for office computer which requires multiple screens but low power.

Intel Core i7-4770K Listed By Dutch Retailer for Preorder

A Chinese web-site has complete review published a review of Intel Corp.’s Core i7-4770K “Haswell” microprocessor that covers performance in different applications. If the review is to be believed, then the new micro-architecture has no obvious benefits compared to the existing chips. It looks like the main benefit of Haswell chips against the existing generation lies only in the integrated graphics.

Just as expected, thanks to the highly-parallel architecture of its general-purpose cores, Intel Core i7-4770K (with HyperThreading enabled) microprocessor does offer substantial performance advantage over existing Core i7-3770K microprocessor in applications that traditionally benefit from multi-core chips, according to a review published by ChinaDaily web-site. Besides, the new Haswell micro-architecture has a completely reworked memory controller.




Intel Core i7-4770K central processing units shows noticeable performance advantage against predecessor in Fritz Chess and MediaCoder benchmarks, but its performance is generally in line with its predecessor. The chip’s speed is behind the Core i7-3770K in some applications, including WinRAR.

Even though Intel Core i-series 4000-family “Haswell” chips do not necessarily shine in all types of tests, this could be attributed to early mainboard/BIOS revisions and/or software and drivers versions. Besides, in new applications tailored for the latest chips, Haswell will offer better results thanks to new AVX2 and FMA3 instructions.

Intel did not comment on the news-story.

Is Intel Core i5 3570K the new go-to gamer's chip ?

Intel Core i5 3570K review

This is it. The biggie. The replacement for our favourite CPU of the past year or so. The new quad-core Intel Core i5 3570K, one of two new processors from Intel's new 22nm Ivy Bridge family of CPUs, has plenty to prove.

Our old favourite that sets the standard this new chip will be measured by is the Intel Core i5 2500K from the Sandy Bridge generation, the best all round gaming CPU ever and all the chip most people need.

Or maybe that should be the Core i5 2550K which was a very minor clockspeed bump over the 2500K. In truth, they're much of a muchness.

At first glance, you might wonder whether the Intel Core i5 3570K is actually a new chip, so similar are the headline specifications to its predecessor.

With four cores and no Hyperthreading support, there's not a lot of extra CPU hardware. The clockspeeds and cache haven't budged an inch, either. As before, we're talking 3.4GHz nominal, 3.8GHz Turbo and 6MB of cache.

Dig a little deeper and the differences emerge.

For gamers and performance enthusiasts, the most important upgrade is the shrink from 32nm to 22nm process technology and the introduction of Intel's 3D Tri-gate transistors.

The upshot is what Intel is calling a "Tick-plus".

A "Tick" in Intel-speak means a die shrink of an existing processor architecture, where a "Tock" is a new design using the old manufacturing tech.

So, the existing Core i5 2550K is part of the Sandy Bridge Tock family and the new Intel Core i5 3570K is an Ivy Bridge Tick.

Got that?

Anywho, whether the Tick-plus label makes any sense, it'll be Intel's own CPUs that the Core i5 3570K will have to beat.

AMD's FX Bulldozer chips, such as the AMD FX 8150, simply cannot compete when it comes to per core performance and that's what you need for a great gaming CPU.

Which is what the old 2500k and 2550K were all about and what the Intel Core i5 3570K will have to deliver to take over where those two left off.
Vital stats
Clockspeed - 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo)
Cores - 4
Threads - 4
Cache - 6MB
Process - 22nm
Socket - Intel LGA 1155
Old and new

So, the new Intel Core i5 3570K is an intriguing mix of old and new.

What does it look like when you lift the bonnet? The CPUs cores themselves are pretty much the same as before, barring a few very minor changes.

It's the process tech that promises the most. Intel reckons the new 22nm 3D Tri-gate transistors are more than just your typical process shrink. They offer much better current control, less leak and improve flow.

In theory, that gives Intel lots of options.

Firstly, with each core consuming less power and taking less space, it could add more cores.

But it didn't.

Alternatively, Intel could have ramped up the clocks.

But it didn't.

Finally, the new Intel Core i5 3570K could be more power efficient than the old Sandy Bridge 2550K.

Here, finally, we some tangible evidence that the new process delivers as billed.

Where the 2550K is rated at 95W, the Core i5 3570K has a 77W TDP. That said, with the core count, clocks and 6MB cache carried over, one thing is clear. If the Intel Core i5 3570K is to deliver improved performance, those minor core revisions are going to have to do the work.

Shift your attention to the graphics part of the new Ivy Bridge architecture, however, and things look a lot more interesting.

If you care about integrated graphics, that is.

The Core i5 3570K gets the full fat HD Graphics 4000 core, so that means 16 execution units where the old 2550K had just 12. Each unit gets an upgrade too, with more processing power and an upgrade from DX10 to DX11 suppport.

The final change of note is the addition of PCI Express 3.0.

As before, the main PCI Express controller is integrated into the Core i5 3570K's die and as before you get 16 lanes to play with regards discrete graphics cards. But with double the bandwidth of PCI Express 2.0, the Intel Core i5 3570K and other Ivy Bridge chips make a more robust platform for multi-GPU graphics.

Benchmarks

With AMD not really turning up to this party, the comparison is with Intel's existing Sandy Bridge chips and most notably our old favourite, the Core i5 2500K.

We've ticked our usual benchmark boxes with Cinebench rendering, x264 HD video and gaming on the CPU side.

Overclocking is a key competence for the Core i5 3570K and we're pleased to note it's another near-5GHz chip.

We've also had a look at the performance of the integrated HD Graphics core, both in games and its hardware-accelerated QuickSync transcode engine.

It's a decent step forward compared to the previous core, but it's still not a great gaming solution.

Verdict

We've established the CPU side of the Intel Core i5 3570K is little changed but big things have happened with the graphics. How does Intel's new mainstream crowd pleaser perform when you fire her up?

With the clockspeeds and cache staying mostly steady and the cores revised rather than redesigned, we didn't have high hopes for a dramatic boost in performance. 
That's pretty much how it plays out.

In the Cinebench 11.5 professional graphics rendering test, the Intel Core i5 3570K edges the old Core i5 2500K 1.6pts to 1.49tps. Factor in the 100MHz clockspeed advantage of the Core i5 3570K and it's clear Ivy Bridge isn't doing anything dramatic.

It's a similar story of very modest performance gains in x264 HD video encoding and the CPU-intensive World in Conflict game benchmark. The Core i5 3570K is quicker, for sure, but the difference isn't nearly enough that you're ever going to feel it.
That said, we have been expecting some showbiz moves when it comes to overclocking.
After all, Intel has been bullishly bigging up is fancy new 22nm transistors in all their 3D Tri-gate glory. Oh, and as before, that 'K' suffix indicates a full unlocked CPU multiplier for easy overclocking. Time for them to deliver.

What you make of the 4.9GHz result depends on the angle you're coming from.
On the one hand, that's 1.5GHz higher than the Intel Core i5 3570K's guaranteed clockspeed for four loaded cores, which is one hell of an overclock with a simple air cooler.
On the other, it's just 100MHz higher than the old 2500K manages. So much for that fancy 22nm tech, then?

Perhaps, but what's really interesting for existing Sandy Bridge owners is that Intel's new Z77 platform seems to release more overclocking potential from the outgoing 32nm generation. 
We reckon the Z77 is worth a good 200MHz to 300MHz with Sandy Bridge chips, which is intriguing even if it undermines the attraction of the new Core i5 3570K and its Ivy Bridge brethren.

As for the graphics, Intel has indeed upped its game.
World in Conflict at 1,280 x 800 jumps from a sluggish 19 frames per second on the 2500K to a borderline playable 27 frames per second on the new Core i5 3570K, for instance. Skyrim performance is up from 21 frames per second to 25.

In reality though you still need a discrete graphics card for enjoyable gaming.
It's hard to know what to make of the QuickSync video transcode core though.
Performance is up by roughly 10 per cent. It's certainly impressive to observe a whole hour-long HD episode of a TV show crunched down for smartphone consumption in just a few minutes.
But with application support remaining somewhat limited, QuickSync still isn't the killer feature it could be.

We liked


The new Intel Core i5 3570K has everything that made its Core i5 2500K such a winning CPU. 
Per core performance is the best you can buy.
It overclocks like there's no tomorrow and it's relatively affordable. We're also pleased that it remains compatible with Intel's LGA1155 socket

We disliked


Intel has created a rod for its own back in recent years by delivering ever more performance.
The new Ivy Bridge generation basically puts on the brakes.
No more cores. No more clocks. And no more overclocking headroom.
The improved graphics don't make up for that.

Final Verdict

A great chip, but Core i5 2550K and i5 2500K owners have nothing to worry about.

Samsung Series 7 Ultrabook- Get a chance to win :-)

This Samsung Series 7 Ultra can be yours. Win one here : http://intel.ly/10D5gr3

The Samsung Series 7 Ultra first showed its face at CES in January, and all kinds of hands-on videos sprouted up on the net showing off this potential big-time contender. Now that we've gotten it in our labs and run our tests on it, here's our full review.

With the Series 7 Ultra, Samsung is hoping to snatch some major market share from Apple and Asus, who have plotted a nice, cushy place for themselves in the high-end ultrabook and ultra-portable laptop market. With a 13.3-inch Full-HD PLS touchscreen, a solid-state drive and a gorgeous aluminium body, the Series 7 Ultra has all the chances in the world to succeed in robbing customers from its rivals.

Design

The all-aluminium chassis is elegant, but perhaps not quite as prestigious as its Apple counterpart. The keyboard contours are matte grey and don't easily get smudged or dirty. Both the screen and its contours, however, are glossy.

The backlit chiclet keyboard has four levels of brightness. The touchpad is standard size and easy and enjoyable to use; it recognises all the Windows 8 multitouch gestures, like zooming with two fingers, scrolling horizontally and vertically and flipping between open apps.

The multipoint touchscreen is precise and responsive. Double-clicking a folder or file in "list" mode in Windows Explorer can be just as tricky as always on a touchscreen, but that's more likely an issue with Windows 8 and the screen resolution than poor touch response. Of course, as usual with Windows 8, once you leave the Start screen—which is most of the time—there really isn't much point to the touch capability.

The Series 7 Ultra has just about all the connectivity you could need: three USB ports (two USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0), an Ethernet RJ45 port, an HDMI port, a VGA out (that requires an adapter that is not included), a headphone/microphone combo jack and an SD card reader. The only thing missing is a DVD drive. If an optical drive is an absolute necessity for you, then a reasonable alternative might be the Dell Inspiron 14z or the HP Envy 4. Or you can just buy an external drive for £50 or so.

Display quality


Like all touchscreens, the Series 7 Ultra's Full HD display is glossy. Sadly, the brightness only goes up to 295 cd/m². This means that outside, especially in the sunlight, you'll get glare and reflections. But everything else about the screen is great. The PLS panel has 900:1 contrast and broad viewing angles from every direction.

Grey colour temperature

Gamma

Delta E

With a Delta E (which measures the difference between how colours are supposed to look and how they actually appear onscreen) of just 3.2, colours look precisely as they should. A Delta E of 3.2 is excellent and rare, especially in the world of notebooks, where you can find some of the worst laptop screens on the market.

Processor Power


The Intel Core i5-3337U processor makes the Series 7 Ultra a fast laptop that's capable of running a wide variety of applications. On average, takes about 10% less time to execute a task an Intel Core i5-3317U. Even so, a Core i7, which has four cores instead of the Core i5's two, would be even faster with programmes optimised to distribute the workload among the four cores.

Windows 8 and the 128 GB solid-state drive make for a highly responsive machine that takes fifteen seconds to start up and less than ten to shut down. That said, 128 GB isn't much. You'll need to get an external hard drive or cloud storage if you want more space.

Gaming


Unlike the Series 5, which has a dedicated AMD video card, the model of the Series 7 Ultra that we tested (see inset) has nothing but a little Intel graphics chipset. It decodes HD movies perfectly well, but video games are another story. The only thing you'll get to run fluidly on this model is older games or new ones that require very little GPU power.
This is not a good news for gamers.

Battery Life


With a barely 1.85-cm-thick body that weighs 1.6 kg and a 13.3-inch screen, the Series 7 Ultra fits easily into a handbag or backpack. And with five hours of battery life (tested with continuous video playback in airplane mode, the screen brightness at 100 cd/m², headphones plugged in and the keyboard backlighting turned off), it's a good laptop to carry around.

Conclusion:-


Finally, an ultrabook that can rival the Asus Zenbook Prime UX31A and Apple MacBook Air. The Samsung Series 7 Ultra has processing power, battery life, a quality screen, beautiful finish and tons of connectivity. That said, they shouldn't have even bothered with the touchscreen, because it doesn't add much to the user experience—all it does is add to the price and drag down the battery life. Otherwise, this is definitely a keeper!

The Intel Core i5-2500K is a 3.3GHz quad-core processor built using Intel's latest Sandy Bridge 32nm architecture. What makes Sandy Bridge processors unique is the fact that the GPU and CPU are on the same silicon die, which is energy efficient and more affordable. MSRP on the Intel Core i5-2500K is $216.

The Core i5-2500K features Intel HD 3000 graphics that's best suited for mainstream gaming. With 12 execution units and a clock speed up to 1100MHz via GPU Turbo Boost, Intel HD 3000 graphics are on par with an NVIDIA GeForce GT 430 or ATI Radeon HD 5450. As you can see, avid gamers will want to use a discrete graphics card for added in-game performance, but casual gamers will have no problem running popular titles, such as World of Warcraft and Far Cry 2 with the Intel Core i5-2500K. You won't want to run games at maxed out settings, but good settings yield playable frame rates, as evidenced below using the FRAPS tool.

1280x1024 Resolution
Low Settings: 176.67 Average FPS
Medium Settings: 36.43 Average FPS

Because the Intel Core i5-2500K is built using new Sandy Bridge microarchitecture, you'll have to buy an LGA-1155 motherboard designed for the new chipset. For testing purposes, the Intel Core i5-2500K was used with an Intel DP67BL (Bearup Lake) motherboard. In this scenario, the Intel Core i5-2500K performed well, which can be seen in the AIDA 64 benchmarks below. The DP67BL is a microATX board, which is nice for those with space constraints.

So what makes the 2500K different from other chips? The "K" notation on the model number means it is fully unlocked for advanced overclocking. But beware, you must have a motherboard that supports overclocking. Along with overclocking and gaming, the Intel Core i5-2500K is also good for video editing. It scored an average of 69.4 FPS when decoding a video in HandBrake. While this score isn't superior mainly due to the lack of Hyper Threading (in comparison, an Intel Core i7-920 system running at 4.2GHz scored 120 FPS), it is more than adequate for mainstream users. As mentioned above, the Core i5-2500K lacks Hyper Threading, which is the main difference between it and the slightly faster, yet more expensive, Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge chip.

Conclusion:- 


Overall, the Intel Core i5-2500K is a great option for budget-conscious consumers that game casually. With playable frame rates even in moderately intensive games and the ability to overclock the chip substantially, the Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge CPU is a worthwhile buy. However, for $100 more, you can gain better performance with the Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge chip that offers Hyper-Threading and 8MB of L3 cache.

Intel's Haswell gets massive graphics performance boost :

Intel is expected to announce its fourth-generation Core processors code-named Haswell for laptops and desktops in June, but the company is already releasing teasers that talk about their performance.




The Haswell laptop chip will deliver up to twice the graphics performance compared to third-generation Core processors code-named Ivy Bridge, according to a slide deck released by Intel on Wednesday. The company is claiming graphics performance improvement of close to three times for Haswell desktop chips.
An Intel chart displaying the graphics jump in low-power Ultrabooks.

The graphics capabilities in Haswell will enable high-definition gaming and video playback, which will reduce the need for separate graphics cards.

Intel is expected to announce the Haswell chips at the Computex trade show in early June. PC makers are expected to show laptops, desktops and tablets running on Haswell chips at the trade show, which will be held in Taipei between June 4 and 8. Intel has said that Haswell-based laptops may be released around the middle of this year.




The chip maker has said the battery life of ultrabooks will double with the new fourth-generation Core chips. Haswell will also deliver double the performance on the same power consumption compared to Ivy Bridge chips. Intel has introduced low-power Haswell chips that draw up to 7 watts of power, and the company hopes some of those processors make it to high-performance tablets that could be used for gaming.

The Haswell chip will enable laptops to play 4K video, in which images are displayed at a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, which is four times that of traditional 1080p high-definition video. The graphics processor is also faster at rendering video via a feature called QuickSync, which was slower on previous Intel chips. Some new QuickSync features include faster MPEG video encode and decode.

The graphics performance of Haswell will depend on the chip type and PC configuration. For example, Intel's fourth-generation Core i7-4650U ultrabook chip, which is based on Haswell and draws 15 watts of power, delivers one-and-a-half times the graphics performance of a comparable 17-watt, third-generation Core i7-3687U based on Ivy Bridge. A 28-watt Core i7-4558U doubles the graphics performance of the 17-watt Ivy Bridge chip.
The beefiest desktop processors see the biggest graphics boosts.

For some power-hungry desktop Haswell chips, the graphics performance is close to three times more than comparable Ivy Bridge chips.

The Haswell chips will support DirectX 11.1, which is Microsoft's latest set of tools to develop and run games. Haswell chips will also support the OpenGL 4.0 API (application programming interface) and OpenCL 1.2, a framework of parallel programming tools in which certain calculations and graphics tasks can be off-loaded to the graphics processor.





Intel has introduced a new naming scheme for its graphics processors integrated in the chips. Intel's HD 5000 graphics will go into chips drawing 15 watts of power, while the more powerful Iris Graphics 5100 and Iris Pro graphics 5300 will go into Haswell processors that draw more power. The naming scheme is important for PC buyers who measure the quality of a chip based on graphics performance.

The company typically releases a new chip for laptops and desktops every year, with each new generation adding more CPU and graphics performance. With PC shipments falling, Haswell chips are perhaps the most important chip release for the company to date. Intel hopes the power-efficient fourth-generation Core chips will also be used in devices like tablets or hybrids.

New upcoming Richland APU from AMD


Today we are going to talk about the latest AMD lineup. These are the latest upcoming processors. The list is mentioned below :

MD Richland APU Lineup for 2013:

6) A4-6300
GPU- Radeon HD 8370D
CORE- Dual Core
TDP- 65W


Above are the new upcoming Richland processor's from AMD. The future hold's good in the computer world.

The new APU will be consisting of dual core and quad core versions for the processor. APU will have a TDP of 65W and 100W.

NOTE: -


TDP - Thermal design power ,
( Usually low power processors will have lower TDP as they need less heat to dissipate in the surroundings, whereas the case is opposite with the high power processors because they generate lots of heat due to more power ).
The lower the TDP the lower will be the power consumption.

Also, you can see that the A10-6800K and the A10-6700 posses the same GPU, thought the clock speed of the apu A10-6700 is lowered in order to achieve low TDP.

The new cheapsets are expected to support eight SATA 6GB/s devices with an additional 4 USB 3.0 ports and 14 USB 2.0 ports.The launch date of the new APU will be at the end of June 2013.


Following are the benchmarks of the APU lineup :
