New Intel Core i7 Haswell

Recently had a system fail and would like to build a new system. I've been torn between waiting on the new Intel Haswell CPU's vs either the Intel Core i7-3770k or Intel Core i7-2600K.
I'm looking for system for multi use. I have been doing scuba diving video on Premier Pro and may look towards a new camera down the road.
Your comments are appreciated.

Just a final note: I've decided to go with the processor that so many like in this forum. The PC will be for multi use.
Intel Cor i7-3930K Hexa-Core Processor 3.2 Ghz LGA 11
Corsair Vengeance 32 GB 4x8GB
Noctua NHY-D14 Quite Cooler
Asus P9X79 Pro LGA 2011 Intel X79
Windows 8 Pro OEM
SamSung Electronics 840 Pro Series 256 GB
Cooler Maxter HAF XM - Mid tower Case
LG Electronics 14x Sata Blue-ray Internal Rewriter
Gigabyte GTX 650 Ti Boost GDDR5-2GB
2 Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDD Sata 6 Gb/s
Existing Drives that I would like to encorporate into the new system:
WD Raptor 500 GB
2 Samsung 1 TB HDD Sata 3 GB/s
1 Samsung 1 TB HDD Sata 3 GB/s
I am now looking for some direction on configuration of the drives. I could purchase additional drives.
I am still thinking about the mid tower case. I have a number of old videos of scuba diving trips that I can store on external drives. My space under a glass desk involves a smaller metal bracket which I can remove. I have thought of a full size case and if so would like roller wheels on the bottom of the case.
Thank you for your input.

Acrobat XI Pro performance with new Intel Core M processor

EDIT 21-Feb-2015: the issue seems to be with the power limitation of the new Intel Core M Broadwell processor. Enabling it in "full performance" mode significantly increases the performance. Nonetheless, in whichever power mode the computer is set, Microsoft Reader has no issue with any of the operations listed below.
Hi,
I'm running Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 8.1 64-bit with high-res display (3200x1800, Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro), which uses the new Intel Core M Broadwell processor.
Zooming in and out and panning on the main application is very laggy, and full screen is EXTREMELY laggy. Also very noticeable delays in scrolling and page to page.
The computer is brand new, out of the box, no viruses or other software dragging the system down. Also, if I open the same files on the Microsoft Reader app, there is no lag at all in doing these operations.
I have found on the forum that some people have had lag and disabled Protected View and Enhanced Security. However, Protected View is not enabled on my installation, and disabling Enhanced Security has no effect.
Right now I would say that the zoom/pan performance is worse even than on Reader on a 5 year old Windows XP machine I tried to compare to.
Is there some other settings in Acrobat XI that could cause this issue?
Thanks!
P.S. I couldn't find a more appropriate group other than "Acrobat Installation & Update Issues" as I didn't find a troubleshooting group or anything like that, but can re-categorize.

Does itunes work with the new intel core duo processor?

i want to go buy a new laptop and the one I have in mind has the new intel core duo T2300 or the T2400 processor. Can i still download itunes onto this computer? Does it meet the requirments becuase the download page says you need a pentium or BETTER? The new macs are putting them in their computers, but will the windows and intel duo be able to support the itunes application?

are you asking if it is compatible meaning will it
install/run or are you asking if flash is
optimized to take advantage of this particular setup?

Suggestions for new Intel Core i7 Extreme PC?

Hi all,
I'll be buying a new editing PC with the Intel® Core i7 Extreme 3.2GHz processors. Rather than build it myself, I'm looking for a fast and reliable PC from a manufacturer. For several years I used Dell workstations ... and they were stable, but not so fast.
The reason I'm switching is that Blackmagic hardware doesn't like Dell MOBO.
Any recommendations? Any opinions on Alienware? They seem a bit expensive, but are reported to be fast.
Thank you for your input!
Robert

Robert, look at http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b70da3/0
Unfortunately, the chips and motherboards to use two i7's will not be available until that nebulous "first quarter 2009"
Here is one preliminary benchmark: "Early tests conducted with Intel's upcoming Nehalem-based Xeons by TechRadar today show the processor running approximately twice as fast as its current equivalent. Based on the same basic design as Core i7 mainstream chips, a pair of 2.8GHz quad-core Xeon X5560 chips received a SPEC score of 160 in floating-point math tests versus 90 for two 3.4GHz Xeons from the current generation."

Can I connect my new Intel Core i7 27" to a fax line

Can I connect my new imac 27" Intel Core i7 to a telephone line to send and recieve faxes? Help says I can; Network prefs show Internal Modem (with handset picture) Not Connected ; the is no phone jack connector on the computer. Have OS X 10.8.2. Internet connection through a router and modem works.

By the way, there are literally hundreds of online fax services, some of them quite reasonable in prices. I have to tell you that faxes have become antiquated for business purposes.

I have to admit that I'm in business, and I have a fax machine that I haven't used in 2 years. It's just a printer/scanner. Even attorneys now only require signature pages to be faxed, but now you scan and email that.
I agree with this, but some businesses are still antiquated.... such as certain schools you may want to send transcripts to or certian states that need supplements to your tax return filing. There are definately still a few occasional reasons why someone might need to fax something.
I'm not sure where you're located, but in this country you're not allowed to send your own transcripts to colleges. And you're not allowed to file taxes by fax (because they need to be machine readable). But we can do most of it online, unless it's highly complex.
I read an article that if you're looking for a job in high technology and your resume has a fax number on it, employers almost always automatically reject you.
Anyways, I wasn't criticizing, I was just saying that giving you an alternative to an expensive solution.

How concerned should I be on a new Intel Core i7 Extreme 990X CPU's erroneous sensor reading?

My concern being when the CPU is running at idle the 990x's core #5 temperature is less than the ambient room temperature, i.e. 20 degrees celsius while the ambient temperature is at 25 dgrees. Also, the adjacent core #4 is at 36 degrees, which is higher than any of the other four cores.
Has anyone here with a 990x experienced something similar, or heard of something like this? Could this be a serious flaw and should I contact Intel?
FYI, this replaces an i7 950 CPU due to it running in the mid to high 90 degrees celsius when transcoding in Encore CS 5.1.
The i7 990x transcodes a 7 minute test clip in less than 9 minutes and not one of the cores goes above 72 degrees celsius (the i7 950 took almost double that time).
Hoping to hear from you.
Cheers,
Michael

Gentlemen thank you for responding.
FYI NewEgg did replace the CPU and the new one has been in this computer for the past two days. The new CPU is of an entirely different batch, but unfortunately still demonstrates a lower than believable temperature for one core. This is better than the first one which had an excessively low temperature for one core and the adjacent one was much higher.
To illustrate the problem with the new CPU I ran it at 100% stress for more than 12 minutes and captured the attached images.
As you can see the CPU is overclocked by 28% (i.e. to 4.4 GHz) and the temperatures never exceeded 71 degrees celsius for one core averaging at 68 degrees celsius for all of them.
Further, the idle temperatures were captured only a few minutes after the stress test. Assuming the core numbering being from 1 through 6, core number 2 is the one that shows readings of 19 to 20 degrees when completely idle, while the ambient room temperature is 25 degrees celsius.
Considering one pays $1K for this, what happened to quality control, Intel???
Also, I have run Intel's test at the specified core speed and it shows a temperature headroom of 60 degrees celcuis, i.e. allowing for core operating temperatures at over 90 degrees celsius...
Looking forward to your comments.
Cheers,
Michael

Creator 2 for OS X on Intel Core Duo?

Hi,
Does anyone know if the current Creator2 release for Mac OS X supports the machines with the new Intel Core Duo chips (e.g. iMac)? If not, does anyone know when the new machines are expected to be supported?
I tried installing Creator2 on an iMac Intel machine and it failed with this error:
"The RAVE_J2EE_HOME environment variable is set. This variable needs to be unset before installation."
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the response and I look forward to Creator 2 on MacIntel!
As far as RAVE_J2EE_HOME, I have no idea why the installer is complaining that it is set. I haven't installed anything on the machine prior to trying to install Creator 2 and I definitely didn't manually set it (I've never heard of the variable before). Doing an echo of the variable in Terminal gives nothing. Since I now realize that I was trying to install Creator 2 on an unsupported platform, I guess all bets are off on the installer as well. I will just try again when the MacIntel version is out.

Macbook with intel core 2 duo ?

Hi,
I am feeling a desire to buy e macbook black , but i saw that the macbook pro's are comming with the new intel core 2 duo processors.
Since the macbook are still with the intel core duo, i wanted to know if anyone knew if they're also going to change processors and if so, when will it be?

Advice on migrating from G5 to Intel Core Duo Mini

I'm running 10.5.8 on a G5 and wanting to migrate to a new Intel Core Duo Mac Mini running Snow Leopard. I would like to migrate all of my files and settings and applications to the new machine, but am looking for advice about potential pitfalls. I've read in some of the other discussions about problems with software from my G5 overwriting the Intel versions of the software on the newer machine, but could not glean enough from those to fully understand what the issues are. My principal software components that I don't want to have to reinstall are things like CS3, Office 2008, and older versions of things like iMovie, etc. I have a Time Machine backup that I could also migrate from, but don't know if that will alleviate potential problems. Any advice would be appreciated.

Before you jump the bandwagon, make sure to have read this user tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
Sometimes the Migration/Setup Assistant doesn't work between PowerPC and Intel Macs. The CoreDuo Mac Mini is not much of an improvement over a G5 except for the native Windows virtualization, and support for Snow Leopard, and Intel Mac only applications, and built-in Front Row support. The Core2Duo Mac Mini on the other hand supports Lion, and generally is faster than a G5 except for the few applications that are G5 optimized or can take advantage of the higher RAM upgrade possibilities than most of the Mac Minis, and the G5 supports Classic applications where the Mac Mini Intel versions do not. So before getting the Mac Mini make sure all the applications or at least some can take advantage of the Mac Minis own advantages.

HOW REBUILD THE DESKTOP FILE ON INTEL CORE DUO I MAC ?

On my old I mac, I could restart the computer, and while it was restarting, I held down both option key and apple key at same time until a message appeared which asked if I wanted to rebuild the desktop file. I tried this same thing on my new Intel Core Duo I mac, but nothing happened. The reason I want to rebuild the desktop file is because things are slowing down. Everything works, but there is a delay between the command, and the resulting action. Please tell me how I can speed up things again. Is there some other means to try to eliminate delays on my present Intel computer? Thanks in advance.

If you have several GB free space on the HD, the next question would be, do you turn the Mac off or put it in system sleep overnight? That can prevent the cron maintenance tasks from running (display-only sleep allow the tasks to run). Tiger is supposed to track if the maintenance tasks haven't run and launch the tasks outside of the nominal 3AM timeframe if enough time has elapsed, but the timing and real-world functionality of that test is unclear. You can leave the Mac in display-only sleep a few times a month (especially the first weekend of the month); you can manually Force Background Maintenance; or you can use a third-party utility such as OnyX to run the maintenance. Note that any system utility you use must be compatible with the OS version (e.g., use the Tiger version of OnyX with 10.4.x).

Two problems with new Intel mini

Got me a new Intel Core solo mini a week ago - using it as a media center / fileserver. To that end I have disabled the screensaver (set to 'never') and all other energysavers (also set to 'never'). After some time, the screensaver does start however, which is really annoying as the remote doesn't work well when the screensaver is active. Any ideas why this might be, or more importantly, how I can make sure the screensaver doesn't kick in?
Another thing: OOTB the mini doensn't display the grey startup screen but only the text-mode Unix prompts. Same on shutdown. It works fine, no problems there, but still... I'd like the complete Apple experience. Is there a setting that can be changed to get the cuddly, not-so-frightening grey Apple screen instead of the intimidating Unix messages?
MacBook Pro / Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hello,
For the screen-saver, go into your settings and make sure that "Hot Corners" are not enabled. And, double-check that the "Never" setting was retained for the screen-saver.
As for the text at startup and shut-down, that is "Verbose" mode.
Go in to Terminal (the command line) by going to:
Applications --> Utilities --> Terminal
at the command line, type in the following exactly as it appears:
sudo /usr/sbin/nvram boot-args=""
Then, close terminal, and restart.
Verbose mode is simply a mode that shows you everything that is happening as you start-up. This is useful for figuring out where a system is locking-up during startup, etc.
To see verbose mode, you can also hold down the Command (Apple Key) and the letter "V" while starting up.
Or, you could go into the Terminal again, and type in the following:
sudo /usr/sbin/nvram boot-args="-v"
hope this fixes it for you.
Let me know how it works out.
I hope this helps.
Let us know if you have other questions.

MacBook 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Wireless Router Choices

I just ordered a MacBook 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and need to set up a wireless network with my wife’s 24 inch iMac. I see numerous posts about problems connecting with airport. Can anyone recommend a wireless router that is truly compatible with the new Intel Core 2 Duo Macs and which ones to stay away from.
I know the Airport Extreme base station is considerably more expensive than the non-Apple brands, but I am willing to pay more for reliability if the Airport Extreme base station is the only reliable choice.
Thank you for considering my questions.

Hi,
I have both an Airport Extreme and an Airport Express, and both now work flawlessly with my 2Ghz Core 2 Duo MacBook. White it is considerably more expensive, they're so easy to setup and have awesome range and signal strength.
We have 3 Macs in this house, and can roam freely throughout the house and enjoy excellent wireless signal strength wherever we go.
Apple has released an update for the Airport wireless in the C2D MacBooks & MacBook Pros, it's here. It should also appear in your software update list.
The update apparently improves compatibility with 3rd party routers, and I imagine has other fixes.
Apple will continue to work on the Airport connection if there are still issues. Remember- with any new hardware release, there are bound to be software glitches initially. Apple moves quickly in my opinion to provide solutions.

Qosmio G30-189 BIOS Update to support Intel Core 2 Duo ( MEROM )

Hello !
Can you tell when Toshiba will release a BIOS Update to support the new intel core 2 duo mobile cpu.
The actual BIOS 1.4 does not recognize the new cpu type.
As Toshiba delivers a core 2 duo based qosmio in USA G35-650 a bios should be availble.
For sure I now that this makes the gurantee go away.
Please help.
Greetings
Marcus Reichert

Hmm, yes sure - i work in IT and I think I repaired 5000 notebooks ... I am certainly not mad at you !
I am happy that anyone answeres me ....
So, I have here an Qosmio G30-145 and the G30-189 - they are absolutely identical.
Only the Video Ram is smaller and a different CPU is inserted.
In the US there is the G35-650 - also nearly the same - and this uses a creo 2 duo.
Be sure Toshiba will not build different units - they just change the name and include some minor changes to config ( pal and ntsc etc. )
You will be sure to see a G30 with Core 2 Duo very soon here in europe or germany and then bang - it will be the same hardware with a different bios - I BET !!!
Yes, I know the power Saving Tool and I agree with you in all points.
BUT windows XP, Linux and Vista do also habe power schemes and controll the fans - the Toshiba tolls adds only more features.
I think the actual bios accepts now the core 2 duo, but still has problems with the power scheme - Intel says the CPUs are nearly comaptible.
I have tested Core 2 Duos, Asus and other - no problem at all.
I think if we wait we get a bios which fixes all, problem is I need it know.
Have a nice weekend
Marcus

P6N SLI Planitinum & Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield

I just bought my new Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield cpu and after installing it, my PC would not boot. I oput my old cpu (Intel Core 2 Duo) and it booted fine.
After some search I found out that P6N doesn't support Q9550 Yorkfield (unfortunately).
Is there a way to make my new cpu work or is my only way is to buy a new mobo (keeping my new cpu)?
My PC specs:
- Windows Vista 32-bit SP1
- GeForce GTX 260 896MB
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 2.66GHz (new: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield)
- 8GB RAM total (even though only 6GB is showing)
- MSI P6N SLI Platinum
- Antec 900 case

Quote
then I guess I'll buy a new mobo (and I make sure it's not MSI).
Well, then you need to make sure that your new mainboard does not come with an NVIDIA 650i Chipset which is used on the P6N SLI Platinum. This chipset does not suppport 45nm Quad Core Processor, no matter what manufacturer. Here is the CPU Support List for an Asus P5N-E SLI for comparison, which uses the same Chipset as the P6N SLI Platinum:
http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=P5N-E%20SLI&product=1
Do you see any Q9xx0 Processors in the list? Exactly, they are not supported, because the chipset is not up to the task.
Quote
This is really messed up.
Sorry to say, but when you are building your own system, it is your responsability to make sure the parts you want to use are supported. It is not like the CPU Support Lists are a secret. Like Daloona said:

always read what is supported before you buy stuff.
