A6m processor disable dual core

Hello! A laptop HP 2310er, A6 processor 4400 m, there is a possibility to disable Dual Core, as the fan when overclocking is hampered?
This question was solved.

Hi Denis1882,
There is no way to disable the switchable graphics. With no options in the BIOS, and the software doesn't have the options to change it you will have a dynamic only setup. The graphics are controlled by the Radeon GPU. It will switch automatically if needed. Here is a document on the switchable graphics on Notebooks configured with Dual AMD GPUs.
Hope this is helpful.
Thanks.

Single processor vs dual core

Hi all, hope this is the right place to put this post.
I'm finally about to take the plunge and get a new mac pro, putting my old G4 out to graze.
My question is, which machine is the best? A single processor or dual core?
I work mainly with photoshop, illustrator, indesign, painter and increasingly flash and dreamweaver.
It's going to cost me a couple of thousand so I need to get my choice right.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi northey;
It all depends on how intensely you use the apps you listed.
If you just dabble in them never doing anything very intense then single processor will probably be sufficient.
If on the other hand you use these apps to their fullest and with great intensity then the dual processor would be the better choice.
A second point if you use the apps professional to make money then the dual processor would be the better choice since time is money.

Processor question - Dual core vs. single core.

I currently have an Aspire 6930 laptop that I bought about a year ago on clearance from Best Buy. I'm quite happy with it. It has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (2.0 GHZ, 800MHz, FSB, 2 MB L2 cache), 3 GB DDR2, 320 GB HDD if that means anything. I'm not a computer geek so really don't know much about this stuff.
Our old laptop is a modular laptop (about 4 years old) which my husband is using (I won't let him mess with my Aspire - long story) and it's pretty much falling apart. None of the USB ports work, the CD/DVD RW is broken, one of the hinges is busted so it won't close properly and it runs slower than a snails pace as he's dowloaded any and all "speed up your PC" and "diagnose your PC" programs from the web - if it's on the web it must be true, right???? Anyway, I've taken pity on him and have decided to try to buy him a new laptop as a combination 10 year anniversary/42nd birthday/Christmas present. Money is a HUGE issue as I'm a SAHM and have been pinching pennies and clipping coupons from the grocery money to try to come up with some funds for this surprise. I'd like to stay around $400.
I've found this one at Best Buy and it has good reviews.... http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Acer+-+Aspire+Laptop+with+AMD+Athlon%26%23153%3B+Single-Core+Processor/9...
But it says it has a single core processor. What exactly is the difference with single core vs. duo core???
We are not gamers. DH basically uses the computer to surf the web, watch Youtube video's, upload and download photo's, burn DVD's, etc. He does talk with family overseas so I would need/like to add a webcam.
I was also looking at this Asus model... http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+Laptop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Pentium%26%23174%3B+Processor+-+Mid...
But the Asus has a Pentium processor which I've heard isn't the best???? Also, it's over $150 more. Is the duo processor and increase processor speed (1.6GHz vs 2.1 GHz) really going to increase the speed/response time significantly for what we do on the computer?? An extra $150 is going to be really tough for me to come up with but if it will truly make a significant difference I will try to find it somewhere.
Your thoughts/recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks for the input. We really don't have the space for a desktop which is why the laptop worked so well for us. The only place to put a desktop is on the kitchen table and then we are always taking it apart when family come for dinner (which is often). I thought of netbook, but it does seem so limited. My husband is an amateur photographer and I would like the larger screen so that if he decides to persue this he would be able to do some basic photo editing, etc.
I think I will go with the dual core processer. BB has an HP that is $429
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Laptop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Pentium%26%23174%3B+Processor+-+Black...
and then another HP that is $499
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Laptop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Pentium%26%23174%3B+Processor+-+Piano...
and I can't seem to find the difference?????? Except the cheaper on has more RAM??? Doesn't seem to make sense.
Thoughts on the HP???

How to use Real time execution trace toolkit with Dual-core processor??

hi there
the situation as follows:
i have a computer (PC and Laptop) types with Dual-core processors, and am trying to do simulation using Multi-core technology and based on different simulation scenarios...starting from sequantial processing,.......Piple lining processing strategy. so that i can differentiate the time delay between those types of processing based on (Using 1 processor then dual-core processor Computers)
my question is: As i read through Ni's white papers i saw many notes refer to Real-time execution trace toolkit to investigate the (processing-time , etc) of multi-core processors in processing diffenent algorithms. My algorithms are to be run on 1 computer with dual-core processor BUT, not in real time environments, that is ( No hardware to be connected to my pc) only algorithms running on my pc....
So, is it possible to use Real time execution trace toolkit or anyother tools in LabVIEW to show processing-delays and/or anyother timing critical issues without using my application for real- time hardware.???
in other words: how to use Real time execution trace toolkit in non-hardware and/or real-time scenarios???
please help me in this.
Any suggestion, comments, feedback.....is absolutely highly appreciated
thanks a lot in advance
Labview Lover

Hey,
The Realtime Execution Trace Toolkit only works for NI RT Targets.
But you can use the Desktop Execution Trace Toolkit, just search for it under ni.com.

Intel Dual Core Processors

I know that the new iMacs have Intel Core 2 Processors in them, and I am considering buying one next summer. It will run at a speed of 2.4 GHz. I have just one question on speed. When a processor is "dual core", does it have two cores running at 2.4 GHz each, or is it two cores running at 1.2 GHz each to total 2.4 GHz?
P.S.- This does not affect my descision of buying a Mac.

No it's not the same as having a 4.8GHz single processor. Like Duane said the total processor speed is 2.4GHz. However with 2 cores it's just like having 2 processors running at 2.4GHz each. This means the system can handle multiple tasks very well but the over all processor speed is still 2.4GHz. How much better than a single processor this is solely depends on what kind of applications you are running. Some applications are written to use multiple cores and some are not. Over all Mac OS X is designed to use multiple cores and practically all of Apple's applications will as well. So even in the case of a particular Application that can only uses 1 processor, the benefit is the rest of your Apps including the system can still be utilizing the other core simultaneously.
When comparing the C2D to a faster clocked Pentium 4, besides it being multi-core, it also has a much more efficient architecture. It creates less heat and has a larger on chip cache. Both equates to a better performing chip even at a lower clock speed. However real time speed differences will again completely depend on what you are running in comparison.
As for the video GPU you might take a look at these comparisons:

POwerMac G5 Dual Core vs Dual Processor

Am thinking about upgrading my G4 computers and going to the G5 Powermac. More than likely a dual processor or dual core. What is the difference between the dual processor and dual core? Is there any difference between these re: efficiency and how they work overall?

A "dual processor" refers to two physically distinct and separate chips. A "dual-core" refers to 2 processors on a single chip, often sharing certain resources (eg cache, memory, etc).
As far as I know, the only dual processor G5 Apple currently offers, is the Quad, or 2 dual-cores. The 2 GHz & 2.3 GHz machines, have only a single chip with dual-cores (2 processors on each chip), to the best of my knowledge.
To the best of my knowledge, having separate chips is better whenever possible, than multiple-cores (processors) on a single chip, because multiple cores have to share resources.
However, if you can only have a single chip, multiple-cores (2 processors) are advantages. It won't double your productivity, but should give it least a 40-60% boost. This assumes that the specific software you are running, takes advantage of multiple cores. A lot of software does not take advantage of multiple cores, and having a multiple-core machine is a waste.

G5 Dual Core Intel DVD Drive Crashes Computer

Having some odd problems with my DVD drive in my G5 2x2.66 GHz Dual Core.
If I put a DVD in the tray the DVD player launches and the DVD window is completely screwed up. It perspective is screwy and the image is mangled as well. It also stall my OS so I get the spinning beach ball of death. To get a DVD to load I have to put it in the drive and then do a crash restart using the power button.
What gives? Any ideas?

Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual Core Intel Xeon
Guess I didn't realize there was a difference. I'll repost.

2.7ghz Dual Core verses Single Core

Hi, I have a Pro Tools system with PCI audio cards that I sunk quite a bit of money into. Needless to say, I'm stuck in PowerMac purgatory until I come up with the cash to make a total PCIe conversion. With that being said, I am now trying to determine what the absolute fastest (dare I say the best) PowerMac was before Apple moved on to greener pastures. What I've been able to find with some light research is that they built the obvious 2.7ghz Dual Core machine but also momentarily built a 2.7ghz Single Core machine for some reason. Can anyone shed some light on the advantages/disadvantages between the two? Thanks!

You have received misinformation. The dual processor (not dual-core) model was the only one offered. Only the 1.6 GHz and 1.8 GHz machines were ever offered with a single-processor.
All G5s at 2.5 GHz and above were also liquid cooled, so you may want to take that into account. Should one of them develop a leak, the repair bill is astronomical, assuming you can't coax Apple into fixing it as a design defect.

Envy 17-j050ex is it quad core or dual core

Hello,
the HP envy-j050ex. in the specs page of the link below mentioned that it's processor is dual core.
http://www8.hp.com/sa/en/products/laptops/product-detail.html?oid=5399952#!tab=specs
and @ intel website they said that the processor intel-core-I7-4702MQ is 4 cores per 8 threads in the link below.
http://ark.intel.com/products/75119/Intel-Core-i7-4702MQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_20-GHz
i saw the device in the local store, i like it, but this issue makes me confused i need to know.
please check this issue for me.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Intel® Core™ i7-4702MQ is a quad-core processor. And your link shows 4 cores - quad is 4. By the way a Q also means Quad.

Processor / number of cores

just a thought is is better to have [2x physical processors with dual cores = quad core] or [1x physical processor with 4 cores = quad core] ?? please give me some thoughts.

http://www.pugetsystems.com/articles.php?id=23
Following these benchmarks logically, one physical processor with 4 cores would be better than two dual core processors.
Hope this helps!

After downloading and running program to install keeps saying file is corrupt. I have used this on computer before and had crash and am trying to reinstall. Have 2.? gh dual core processor with 4megs ram and a 320 gb hard drive using windows 7 64bit.

After downloading and telling program to run it will not open the firefox install utility keeps saying file is corrupt. I had a computer crash and having to reinstall all of my programs. I have a 2.? Gh dual core processor running windows 7 64bit, which I had before, with 4 megs ram and a 320 gb hard drive so I know I have the system requirements.

Question about the Y2P Dual Core processor

Ok, so I was an an idiot and always thought that i7 meant quad core and was better than i5. However I just realized that there are some laptops with i5 that are quad core. On the other hand, this i7 Y2P laptop (which I won't get to play with till the 21st, since I am out of the country) has a dual core.
I now have a lenovo z570 quad-core i7 (note to Lenovo: still upset Lenovo about our power management software that never got fixed after 2 years). How much of a speed decrease am I expected to see???
I am going from quad core to dual core, 16 gb ram to 8 gb, 1 TB HDD (256 SSD + 750 HDD) to only 256 SSD.... Feels like I am compromising a lot for a touch screen.
Should I return the laptop?
Legit this whole i7 and i5 is crap marketing to get more $ imo. At the end of the day, I prefer quad-core i5 over dual core i7. What is the difference?
Looking at it, I see only a 0.4 GHz between the i5 and i7 model, both being dual core with hyperthreading. In the end, i7 is like $300 more. Why?
Feel like I overspent on this laptop cuz of a marketing gimmick.

Reading a bit more about it, I don't think there's any architecture difference, and the suggestion that these are actually the same part just programmed / binned / labeled differently sounds reasonable as Intel will not want to run two different manufacturing processes if they can get away with one.
The i7 is clocked a bit faster and has an extra MB of cache memory (those with manufacturing defects in cache might become i5s with that MB of cache disabled).
The i7 is definitely faster, but otherwise does not offer any other feature advantages that I can see, and the full-speed difference seems to be on the order of 15%, which is unlikely to make a difference in what you can use the machine for.
In gaming you might go from 30fps to 32fps say. It's probably not enough to run at a higher resolution or a higher quality setting.
Also, both processors try to run with lower clock speeds for both processor and graphics as much of the time as they can get away with, so I think most every-day activity will see nearly identical performance between the two.
Getting the 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM is definitely worth it, so if it's then only another $100 for the i7 then maybe, but I'm really happy now that I went for the i5 since it doesn't seem like I'm missing out on anything. My i5 Y2P turns out to be a very good gaming ssytem and I have not had any performance issues with it.

Turning on Virtualization in Compaq/HP Presario C500 with Dual Core processor

Hoping someone can help me out.
Running a Compaq Presario C500 laptop with the Dual Core processor. Intel's site says the processor supports virtualization.
However, in the F.24 A Phoenix BIOS setup (pressing F10 on Startup), there's no option to turn on Intel Virtualization Technology on any of the Tabs. Tried downgrading the BIOS to F.14A -- as the description says; "Adds item to Setup utility (F10) to enable/disable Intel Processor Virtualization Technology."
However, when I startup, press F10 -- there's no option for turning this on.
Is there another place to go -- other than the F10 setup area of the BIOS -- to turn on Virtualization Technology?
If an expert out there can help, it would be very appreciated!
