Buying an overclocked i5?

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 00:53:40 GMT

I see there are many different overclocked I5's and i7's on sale.

And I wondered why anyone would buy these?

I'm especially looking at a core i5 750 normally running @2.66 which is brought up to 3.2 here.
They say they tested them on a 100% workload for 6 hours straight and say that it will work. Price is relatively cheap but the cooler is still the same.

So would you recommend buying one of those? Or would you say that chances are too high that this thing will be a wreck sooner or later, especially when you're planning to game for some hours straight?

Here's the link, if you're interested

Need Input! Which Should I Choose? Core 2 Duo T9900 or i7-820?

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 22:30:28 GMT

I need some input!

I'm in the process of "building" a new Dell Studio XPS 16 laptop. I can't decide whether to get the Core 2 Duo T9900 (3.06 GHz) or the i7-820 (1.73 GHz with 3.06 turbo boost). I do no gaming. I usually run 6 to 10 tabs of Explorer along with Outlook. I also run Photoshop, Word and Acrobat, usually one at a time but sometimes a couple at once, usually Photoshop and Word. I plan to get 8GB RAM. There's only about $300 difference in cost between the two processors, and I don't mind spending the extra money on the i7 if it will benefit me. I'm more concerned with consistent overall speed and heat on my lap. Are there any cons to the i7? Given my usage, will I get or notice any benefit from the i7? Will the combination of T9900, 8GB RAM and Windows 7 handle the apps I run without slowing/bogging down and not get too hot?

Recommendations and comments would be most appreciated!

Thanks!

How to Identify 32-bit or 64-bit Processors

adarsh.splash@gmail.com — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 07:11:58 GMT

In Linux, we have a command "cpuid" which gives complete information about the CPU, it's starts somewhat like this.

Intel-specific functions:
Version 00000f47:
Type 0 - Original OEM
Family 15 - Pentium 4
Extended family 0
Model 4 -
Stepping 7
Reserved 0 ....

Everything is present except whether the Processor is 32-bit or 64-bit CPU. Is it possible to find out based on the above info. wheter a CPU is 32-bit or 64-bit. If so, how? I have seen numerous sites, but haven't got exact info. of how this could be found thorugh an OS, either Windows or Linux.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards

Intel XEON 5500 / 7400 Performance Benchmark-Tests

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:10:03 GMT

Hello,

could anyone explain why the 6core Intel Xeon 7400 series isn't so much faster in the tpmC-benchmarks as the Intel Xeon 5500 4core series?

With 4 CPUs each with 6cores the Intel Xeon 7400 series (639,253 tpmC) should be much faster in the tests as the server system with 2 CPUs each with 4cores of the Intel Xeon 5500 series (631,766 tpmC).

What could be reasons why a customer should choose Intel Itanium II CPUs for an Oracle Database environment? Are there any advantages or disadvantages by using the Intel Xeon 5500 or 7400 series?

Thanks for your answers

Daniel
