Re: Core i5 family logical view

The answer to your question is Yes, since the functionality is the same, the only change is where it is now located (on processor itself), but the way it works and the way it is seen by the software is the same was as it used to be when the controller was located on the motherboard.

Re: Dell XPS 8500 i7 3770M ?

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 20:23:08 GMT

The reason that we do not handle information about that processor on our website is because this is a processor available only as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) processor, designed only for braded laptop systems like DELL*.

For information about this processor please contact the OEM system manufacturer, in this case DELL*.

The only similar processors that we have are the i7-3770 and i7-3770K, you can find information about those processors at:

Re: Manageability Engine (ME) core i5

This processor Intel Core i5 - 2450M does not support Intel vPro technology, this technology is required in order to support Intel Manageability Engine, so this feature will not work on your laptop system.

Please check this link to find the features of the processor:

Re: what types of processors that support VM function in VMX operation?

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 16:51:29 GMT

When using VM, I believe you are referring to Virtual Mode.

If that is the case, keep in mind that the Intel Core i7-2600 supports Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x)

And Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) as showing at:

http://ark.intel.com/products/52213/Intel-Core-i7-2600-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3_80-GHz

So due to the fact that the processor supports this feature, the software should work fine, if that is not the case, I would suggest contacting the software developer to see about the processor requirements for the software to run properly.

Re: Intel® Core™ i7-3960X vs Xeon E5

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:11:54 GMT

Please check this comparison chart:

http://ark.intel.com/compare/64595,63696

The Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2670 has a slower clock speed, but it has more cores and higher cache RAM, also it has faster system bus, so the performance in a multi-tasking environment will be better than the Intel® Core i7-3960X processor.

Please make sure that the software that you will be running is designed for multi-tasking environment, so the software is capable of taking full advantage of the all the cores of the processor.

Re: How do we connect 2 n-core processors together?

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 17:36:43 GMT

Intel server system have up to 2 sockets, the maximum number of physical cores per processor is currently 10 cores, and those processors supports Hyper-Threading Technology, adding 10 extra logical cores per processor, so that will make a total of 20 physical cores + 20 logical cores = 40 cores, this is on Intel server systems.

It is possible that third party server manufacturers have serve board with more than 2 sockets, but you will need to check with them, you can also ask them if they are using any clustering system.

Re: intel turbo boost monitor 2.6 win 8

It is possible that this tool is not fully compatible with Microsoft* Windows* 8, keep in mind that this is a very new operating system that is just about to be released.

So Intel might need to release a newer version, I would suggest waiting couple of weeks to see if Intel releases an update of the tool.

Re: How do we connect 2 n-core processors together?

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:58:08 GMT

You need to have a server motherboard that has 2 processor sockets, so you can install 2 processors on the same server board, the operating system will decide which core to use for any required task or application.

Usually desktop motherboards support only one physical processor at a time.

Re: overclocking i3-3225?

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:54:10 GMT

Since this is not an extreme processor it cannot be over-clocked, and this processor does not even support turbo boots technology.
