GPU in Dual Core phones

Hey guys I know this question is a tad stupid, but can anyone tell me if there's any difference between Mali 400MP and Mali 400 GPUs or are they the same?

As I understand it's the same, but generally it's called Mali 400MP.

  • Phone is stuck on "Dual Core" Screen.

    My phone is stuck on the "Dual Core" screen. It will not turn on or off. I've tried rebooting, had no luck. Was able to get to a FastBoot screen, but only tells me my phone is locked, then goes back to the "Dual Core" screen again. Help!

    Let's get this resolved KJB123!   How long have you had your Razr? When did this start happening? I know you've already done the FastBoot, but can you please try doing it while the phone is on the charger? Is there any physical or liquid damage? Please elaborate.   Thank You, VanessaS_VZW

  • Should I go with a dual core or quad core MacBook?

    Hi all,
    I am going to be a college student this fall majoring in a science related field. My first question is what processor I should go with. I am looking at either a 13" MBP with a dual core i7 and 8 GB of RAM (750GB HD), 13" MBP w/ a dual core i5, 8GB RAM and 500GB HD, or a 15" quad core i7 with 8GB RAM and 500 GB HD. I plan on upgrading to a SSD once prices come down in a few years and would like to stick with the MBP without Retina Display so that I can upgrade RAM and HD later on.
    Will I see a noticeable difference between dual core i5 and i7? From what I have seen, it has not been much of a difference. I only plan to do light Photoshop and doubt I will do any video editing or even 3D modelling for the most part. This will mainly be used for research (web), streaming, and Office. I know that the i5 is more than capable of all of that, but I am looking to make this machine last 4+ years at least. That is why I am considering jumping up to the 15" MBP just to get the quad core and ensure that I will have a longer lasting machine.
    Most of the time the laptop will be travelling around, but I will also be plugging this into a Thunderbolt Display for more screen space.
    Let me know what you all think! Right now, I am leaning towards the 13" MBP with dual core i7, but this is subject to change. Will it last throughout college?
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Screen size set aside since I plan on using a TBD most of the time,
    Then you want the more powerful graphics of the 15" with it's dedicated GPU to better/faster drive the external display as it's larger, and larger displays pumps more pixels so you also need the better cooling of the 15"
    would adding more RAM solve the OS X upgrade issues over time?
    Yes, but more RAM isn't a cure all, processors and graphics also has to be powerful to last longer.
    RAM allows one to do more things at the same time, and gives a performance boot with programs with larger files it's working on (like large Photoshop and video files)
    Plus, would upgrading the HD to SSD help in making the jump to say OS X 10.11, 10.12 down the road easier?
    Not that much really, with the non-Retina 15" you can put in a 1TB SSD when the prices come down further

    It would be nice to save a little on the screen size since I won't be able to utilize the 15" to its maximum potential when I'm working at my desk.
    Your on the wrong platform if your looking to save money.
    If you compare specs and performance of the hardware Apple offers for sale and equivilent i5/dual cores with Intel HD graphics, you'll find for $1500 buys a Mac and for $400 buys the same in a Windows PC.
    Really the best value comes with the 15" as if your in that pro market for such a machine you might as well get OS X with it as PC's cost about the same in that range.
    The really best value is a Windows 7 tower, that way it's parts are all upgradable and can last a decade or more on one Widnows OS version.
    Several of my friends think I'm crazy spending $10,000 on Mac's in 10 years, they are still on their XP towers and haven't paid much more than $2000 over that same time.
    Of course now XP is dead and they have to upgrade to Windows 7 towers, but they really get good value out of their boxes.
    Mac's are not for those tight on a budget, I don't advise. A Windows machine will do the job for most people
    Perhaps a Windows 3D gaming tower and a iPad?

  • Bionic stuck on Motorola Dual Core Screen fix and replacement return

    Recently, as the subject suggests, my phone is stuck at the Motorola Dual Core Screen.  It will load this screen after hooking up to the computer or charger, and stay there.  During this time, it doesn't charge the battery and the battery becomes drained.  I am waiting on a replacement to be delivered, but in the meantime, I think I have figured out how to fix the problem.
    If I were to receive the replacement, but fix my current phone without opening the replacement, what is the process of returning/cancelling the replacement that was sent to me??
    Thanks,
    James

        Hello ezdirt,

  • Dual core 2.3 or dual processor 2.5 for FCP Studio 5?

    I'm on the fence whether to buy a dual core 2.3 with a 7800GT card or a refurbished dual processor 2.5 with a x800 card. The saleman today was pushing the 2.5 b/c he said it was faster, though he said the x800 would run around 20% slower than the 7800GT. I had actually read that if anything the dual core 2.3 was faster. I've been looking all around (including barefeats.com) but can't seem to find much to confirm the graphics card statement. Thought I had read in a post here that they were also about the same speed. Is he right about this?
    Untimately, I'm looking for something to run FCP 5 Studio and things like Boris Red and Combustion with. With the price difference being about $380 b/t the two options, which one would be faster and the better bet?
    Thanks ahead of time for any help!

    FCP doesn't care about your card. Much. Not now anyway, we have no idea what will happen in the next rev but the trend is toward offloading much of the work to the OS and GPU.
    Buy what you can afford and buy what you think you need to make money now. You can always upgrade in 18 months when the second generation of the Intel machines are likely to be shipping.
    Are you using Motion or Aperture? Different criteria. Dunno 'bout no Combustion, never been using it.

  • My 2010 15 in. 2.66 Ghz i7 dual core macbook pro randomly shuts off and reboots

    I am a student at a college, and I recently bought a used MacBook Pro from the computer store which is part of a 4 year turnaround program when Faculty get new machines. It is a 2010 15 in. 2.66 GHz i7 dual core MacBook Pro, and I have had it for almost 1 week. After I got it, I installed Office 365 and Microsoft Document Connection. Almost immediately after doing this, and when I opened a Office application, it shut down. So I thought that installing Office 365 was somehow causing the computer to shut down. But over the past week, I've had maybe 3 more random shut downs including when all Office applications were quit and thus inactive. They were pretty rare, so I actually thought it wasn't such a problem because they didn't interrupt my work too badly. The screen suddenly goes black with no warning, and then immediately without me doing anything the computer reboots to grey screen, apple logo with languages / licensing stuff, tells me I shut down my computer due to a problem do I want to return to the screen I was on with all my stuff on it?, I say yes and it quickly goes to the desktop with everything I was working on pulled up.
    So I didn't mind too much until last night, when it shut down twice within rapid succession of one another. Shut down, reboot, within seconds of me clicking on mail or whatever, boom, shuts down, reboots again. That was annoying. Then this morning, I wake up, open my computer to do work, BOOM shut down 1, open again, try to work, this time I'm using Safari when boom shuts down again time #2 within 1 minute of last shut down, then BOOM shuts down A THIRD TIME this time within 5 minutes of the last shut down. But still 3 SHUT DOWN/ REBOOTS in 10 minutes. Needless to say this is extremely annoying. Also, these last three times it has been on Battery power, but last night it was plugged in, so I don't think it's a battery issue. Also, my computer was fully charged (or almost) this morning, so it's not like it's on really low battery or anything like that.
    I checked this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5044196?start=30&tstart=0, and it seems like I may be having kernel panics due to a defective NVIDIA graphics card. How do I tell what is causing these shut down cycles? How do I get it fixed? Also, needless to say, this MacBook is 4 years old, and I am not the original owner / purchaser, so I'm sure it's out of warranty. Does anyone know how much this will cost me at the Apple Store?

    ggp057,
    it could be due to the NVIDIA GPU defect in the 15-inch Mid 2010 models. It might also be due to faulty RAM. Do you know whether it has its factory-installed RAM, or if the RAM had been replaced? The GPU defect can be confirmed by making an appointment at your nearest Apple store to have them run their Video System Test on your MacBook Pro. Yes, it’s long out of warranty; the diagnostic test should be gratis, but if the defect is present, it typically costs a few hundred dollars to remedy (it involves a logic board replacement).
    Did you also receive the two grey installation DVDs which originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro? Among other things, it has your model’s Apple Hardware Test. If you didn’t receive them, and the computer store is unable to provide them to you, then you can purchase a replacement pair from Apple. The Apple Hardware Test includes a RAM test, although it isn’t able to detect all possible RAM problems.

  • Dual Core Mac only using 30% processor power.

    Hi,
    I'm running Motion on a Dual-core 2.3GHz G5 Power Mac. My Motion renders are really slow - and bring the whole system to a crawl.
    Using Activity Monitor and Menu Meters, I can see that Motion is only using, at most, 50% processor power between the two cores.
    The machine has 4GB of RAM so that shouldn't be an issue, and I've run the same Motion files on my old 2.0 Dual G5 at home and the renders use 95% of each processor and are much faster.
    Is Motion not dual core aware?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    CPU processing in Motion is not the workhorse. GPU does all the heavy lifting. What graphics card are you using?

  • 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:

  • Older SP vs. Dual Core - Browser/Plugin Performance

    Hi Gang
    Have been down the block here many times. I'm very familiar with issues regarding the discontinued support of Flash Players and the frustration trying to keep your perfectly good running older G5's up to date.
    Have question why I can't get the browsers in my older G5 SP 1.8 to work as satisfactorily with my two Dual Core G5's?
    Details: I have 3 G5's #2 Dual Core 2.0's and #1 older SP 1.8. The Dual Core machines have #2 Browsers installed; TenFourFox ver 4, & Safari 4.1.3 with Flash Player ver 10.0 r45. Most videos in BOTH machines play just fine including UTube.
    However my older 1.8 SP machine, (with browsers Safari 4.1.3, & TenFourFox ver 9), trying ALL archived versions of Flash DO NOT function properly. Each time I've used the Adobe uninstaller, then tried several/all archived players, always followed by 'Disk Permissions'. NONE will yield the same satisfactory results as with the Dual Core machines.
    I'm wondering now if this situation could be related to the older 1.8 SP?  Or perhaps have something to do with the Video Card in the SP machine? It's the only machine with an ATI, rather than Nvidia?
    BTW, I also just tried a 'home-made altered' version of Flash, which was created by a skilled-creative person who's efforts are directed to us G5 users with NON-Intel machines. Anyway, it also failed ...
    Any ideas?
    Thanx
    Mike
    http://vimeo.com/7340608

    Mike-
    Your video plays fairly well on Leopard in Safari (Flash 10.1) in my 2.0 GHz SP G4 w/Geforce 6800 GT.
    With scaling on and full screen, the video is jerky. With scaling off, the video smooths and the video is enjoyable to watch.
    HOWEVER, comparing the playback of the video on an Intel processor machine with much stronger CPU/GPU and Flash 11.1, the playback quality difference is marked; cinema-like as opposed to "web video"....
    It's the only machine with an ATI, rather than Nvidia?
    In your case, you have adequate GPU but inadequate CPU.
    The 1.8 GHz machine wasn't good for more than 20-25 fps with HD at 480i.
    128 MB VRAM and a mid grade GPU (9800 and better) are all that are needed in the graphics department.
    One needs 30 fps and better to "see" smooth video.
    If you were complaining about video with a FX 5200 or a Radeon 9600 I would say "get a better card".
    In this case, No.
    Video in OS X has ALWAYS been far more CPU bound than GPU bound... some comparisons to Windows put the diference at 5x more CPU.
    BTW, Radeon drivers have, historically, almost always been better than Geforce drivers in OS X.
    This is especially true in Tiger and Leopard.
    I'm wondering now if this situation could be related to the older 1.8 SP?
    Yes.
    You are simply experiencing the limitations of the SP 1.8....... NO comparison AT ALL to either of your dual core machines, regardless of the graphics card.

  • Should i Take the more expensive Mac mini (quad core) or dual core

    Hey guys!
    I don't now if I should take the Mac mini with dual core or quad core
    I have never had a Mac so I don't now if the quad core (200$ more) is better than the dual core  :o
    I use it only for standard things (email, web, twitter Mac App Store games)
    But it also should not stuck at bit more powerful apps and run crystal clear !!!
    I want to have the Mac mini for few years !
    Thanks now!

    The difference in real performance between dual core
    and quad core machines is highly dependent on the
    apps one uses and how many at the same time.
    If you really only ever have one or perhaps two apps
    open at once and if these apps are like web browsers
    or email, you may never really notice a difference.
    However, if you have many apps open at once or use
    apps that can utilize many cores at the same time (typically
    imaging and video apps), then there will be a significant
    performance increase.
    As far as gaming, by and large the most significant impact
    on game performance is the graphics processing unit (GPU).
    The integrated Intel HD4000 GPU in the Minis can typically
    handle mid range games but will struggle on the very highend
    games.
    Also, if apps are not designed for mutiple core usage, there will be
    now real improvement between 2 or 4 core machines.  As a matter
    of fact, I have a few apps that are faster on my MBP 13" 2.7 GHz
    2 core i7 than on my quad core i7 2.0 GHz Mini Server for this
    very reason.
    So, the bottom line is that for some a quad core machine will
    blow away a dual core machine while for others, there will be
    no noticable difference.

  • Dual core iMac- audio

    I'd like to hear from some Garageband users who are happy with their new dual core iMac. I am about to buy one, but I would love to hear from some satisfied customers!
    (I'm specifially getting the iMac to use Garageband.)
    Thanks-
    Remulak

    I just bought an iMac 17inch, no upgrades, just for garage band. This my first Mac, and I have been looking at them for years, but never bought becuase in the end the PC offered more value and the Mac did not have it all together IMHO.
    I really feel like they do have it all now. (congrats Mr. Jobs) The system, programs, and price are near perfect. I am Mac forever!
    I am a guitarist, and the program is easy to use and can do a lot. I wanted to use it to quickly record ideas, (not spend all day, setting up, and my inspiration had long passed). It is also great for practice.
    I am just plugging a guitar directly in, using a old chord with, the small head phone jack (like for a old walkman) on one end, and a guitar jack on the other end (mine is actually an RCA on that end, but put a guitar jack on that).
    I am using the built in speakers
    Drum tracks: the loops are easy to edit, once you spend one day reading and playing around with it. Forum is great for this.
    Can't be easier, and does not zap my enthusasm to record, like all other methods I have tried over the years.
    Hope that helps

  • 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.
    View Solution.

    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.

  • Dual-Core or Single Core?

    I wanted a new phone for my birthday. At first I wanted the Sony Xperia Play, but it didnt come out in time. I also see the reviews for the phone, and they dont look so good. So, I am now thinking about either the HTC Thunderbolt, or the HTC Incredible 2. But I realized that they both are single cores, not dual cores. Should I be caring for the amount of cores? I have an iPod Touch 3G, and I like the speed of that device. I'm not sure if it has dual core or single core, but i am fine with that speed. I also want an HTC because of HTC Sense. I like its UI better than Motorolas or Samsungs. And I dont feel like rooting the phone either (yet). So, should I be caring about the Dual Core or is a Single core fine?

    If you're a tech nerd: wait for a dualcore, or you'll have CPU envy. If you're not a tech nerd, it honestly doesn't matter, get whichever phone has the features that matter to you (in this case, HTC Sense).
    The Xperia Play makes me sad though... both because it's not out yet and because it's (so far) VzW-exclusive in the US V_V

  • Anyone using a PowerMac Dual Core?

    I just purchased the FCS and love it...however am finding my rig a bit out-dated. I currently use my PowerMac Dual G4 for my editing setup. I was noticing that you can get a Dual Core 2ghz G5 on Amazon for about $1800 new (after $200 rebate). Figuring that I could use that saved money for a couple gigs of RAM, does anyone have reccomendations as far as perfomance goes? I know that the quad is the ultimate right now - but don't think I can swing $3000 (before the monitor) Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The dual core will perform about 30% faster than your G5 iMac in Final Cut. Certain things will be identical to the iMac.
    If you think this is significantly faster than the G4, then you have your answer.
    Barefeats.com has some good Final Cut Pro benchmarks of the various new macs. If the iMovie benchmarks posted there are any measure, once a universal version of FCP is available, the new Intel Duo machines will rock at least as fast as the best dual core G5's.
    I personally would wait for Intel-based quad workstations, or get an iMac Duo if you need something quickly. Apple will be doing all they can over the next 2 years to optimize their code for the Intel chips in ways we've never seen before. I doubt that G5 acceleration will be a high priority for the company and the GPU's on the new Duos out-power the wimpy graphics chips in the Dual G5's. Just my opinion.
