Core i3 2310m or A6-3400m Question and Answers

On August 20th, 2011 by admin | 1 Comment | Posted in Hardware

Here is question and answer from tomshardware.com about Core i3 2310m or A6-3400m.

Question :

Hi all,
I am looking to buy a new laptop for ~$600 or less. It is an upgrade from a 1000HE EEEpc and my hope is to get more mainstream performance out of it. I need it for general computing/internet/video watching but will not be doing any gaming on it. I prefer 11-14″ form factor for portability and would love to get ~5 hr+ battery life.

Is an HP Probook 4430s better than a Toshiba P745D-S4240 for general computing, internet use, and watching HD video?

More generally, should I try to go after an i3-2310m with HD3000 graphics or an A6-3400 within this budget? Which is better when games are not being considered?

Thanks

It’s a little hard to say. Both are good computers, with AMD’s Llano showing great promise as a contender to Intel’s Core i series. The integrated graphics on the A6-3400 should be a tad better than the HD3000, but probably not by much… The A6 MIGHT have better battery life than the i3 though, so that’s something to keep in mind if battery life is one of your bigger concerns.

In terms of processing performance, the Core i3 is better than the A6.

However, for games, the A6 will be better overall because of the better graphics core. But in games that are more CPU bound than GPU bound, the Core i3 will perform better.

New AMD APU E300, E450 And C60

On August 9th, 2011 by admin | No Comments | Posted in News

New AMD APU E300, E450 And C60 - The platform AMD Fusion is having a good market success , thanks to the fact that the house in Sunnyvale with these processors has managed to combine low cost, and performance TDP content, especially multimedia, higher than the competition, especially with regard to the Intel Atom. In this way, it was possible to begin to offer low-end netbooks and notebooks with a price / performance ratio very interesting, which is persuading consumers to search for a new laptop small and compact, yet versatile enough for use in type, and especially suitable to use multimedia.

So to keep the interest high, AMD is now about to present three new APU going to revise and expand the capabilities of the previous generation. The three new models of AMD Fusion APU E-300 , E-450 and C-60 , it always belong to the family Brazos, which is the entry-level and are based again on the Bobcat core , but compared to previous incarnations of Zacate and Ontario, however, show some interesting news. We start from the most powerful model, the E-450 dual core . The processor now has a working frequency slightly higher than that of E-350 with a clock rate of 1.65 GHz against 1.6 GHz, supports DDR3 1333 MHz, and not just those at 1066 MHz

In addition, the new chip features the new AMD Radeon HD 6320 graphics processor . The latter is the same as above 6310, then with 80 stream processors working at 500 MHz but, unlike in the past, now can also enjoy the benefits of technology AMD Core Turbo . The latter is currently capable of elevating the frequency of one of the two core APU at a time, depending on the workload, while lowering the core clock, however, also idle, so as to optimize fuel consumption. Also Turbo Core can also intervene on the frequency of the GPU, in this case bringing it up to 600 MHz

New AMD APU E300, E450 And C60Similarly, the C-60 APU is always a 1 GHz dual core, but now, thanks to Turbo Core dynamically can climb up to 1.33 GHz and features a new graphics processor, called the AMD Radeon HD 6290 which, compared to the previous 6250, has a clock rate of 400 MHz versus 276 MHz previous

Finally there is the E-300 APU , which is also dual core, but with an operating frequency that sets it slightly below the previous E-350, equal to 1.30 GHz Unchanged but the graphics processor, which is always the AMD Radeon HD 6310 model year. In this way, now AMD offers a wider choice of solutions , not just to consumers but also producers, which will offer even more different configurations and more easily able to meet the needs of each user, with a greater modulation of the price / performance.

AMD has yet to officially present these processors, so the prices are not known, but in September the first netbooks are already expected based on the new APU.

HP 2000Z Specs Features Review and Price - HP 2000Z is a new family of entry-level laptop , recently introduced by the American list, with the intention to propose in the entry level market mobile devices with an attractive cost, but with adequate performance, at least for a use of quotidian type.

Aesthetically speaking / realization we are always on the high levels of Hewlett Packard, and then with a good selection of materials, assembly defect-free and a clean design and simple , but still present and treated. The color is charcoal gray, with the edges, the piano keyboard and the display frame in black, to be a pleasant chromatic contrast, very elegant and sober.

HP 2000Z Specs

The operating system is just one, Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit , while the processors may be one of the single-core AMD AND APU-240 with a clock rate of 1.5 GHz and dual-core AMD C-50 and AMD 1 GHz E-350 at 1.6 GHz .

The APU and E-240 E-350 may rely on integrated graphics processor AMD Radeon HD 6310M, has 80 Shader units clocked at 500 MHz with support for DirectX 11, Shader Model 5.0 and with the technology for decoding UVD 3 hardware streams high definition video up to 1080p. The APU AMD C-50 but has the less powerful AMD Radeon HD 6250, which has substantially the same characteristics, but a much lower operating frequency of 280 MHz

HP 2000Z Specs Features Review and PriceThe amount of RAM but can vary from 2 to 4 GB of DDR3 memory , while storage can be assigned to 5400 RPM hard drives with capacities of 250, 320 or 500 GB. The display measures 15.6 inches diagonally instead and has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, enough so to also display videos and movies in HD at 720p.

Finally, we still find a webcam with microphone built-in digital HD, a multiformat memory card reader, optical drive type Super Multy and WiFi 802.11n, Bluetooth optional. The standard battery is a Lithium Ion 6-cell which, according to HP, would provide up to 5 hours and 50 minutes of battery life.

HP 2000Z Price

The HP 2000Z is already on sale on the official HP site , with a price for the base configuration with APU AMD C-50, 2 GB of RAM and 320 GB HDD, to 349.99 dollars. A cost so very interesting, which places it directly on the same level of netbooks, with respect to which, however, offers much more.
