Qosmio X300 - What is the fastest model?

I am looking for a laptop mainly for video editing and occasional game playing.
Which is the faster and more powerful X300 - the X300-16D or X300-14U?

Hey dude I have the UK model X300-13W that has the QX9300 running the cores at 2.53Ghz.
Looking at the Specs of the QX9300 vs QX9100 you might assume that the QX9100 is faster (2.53GHz vs. 3.06Ghz) but the major difference is in the L2 Cache of the QX9300, which is 12Mb vs 6Mb in the QX9100, making it quite a bit faster then the QX9100 (as mentioned above).
The other thing is (and I think thats why they lowered the clock speed for the QX9300) that because the QX9100 runs at a higher speed it generates a lot of heat which if you own a X300 (especially the ones with SLi FX cards) you will know is a major issue with the model.
Another thing to note is that if I understand the QX9300 architecture correctly (please correct me if Im wrong) then even though games etc only use 2 cores, the way the QX9300 was built makes it possible for apps to "see" only 2 cores, but for the processor to split the work between the 4 cores...
So in my opinion the QX9300 is the faster one and thus the X300-14U is the better choice...the stats at Toms Hardware etc seem to aggree with me.
I can also tell you that from my own experience that the QX9300 is a demon of a CPU...just a shame its completly been owned by the i7s
Hope that helps

  • What is the best model laptop that 9.2.2 can start up on?

    I'm looking to buy an old laptop that starts up Classic 9.2.2 like the iMac G3 does and can also run a version of OS X (at least 10.3.9). Would those be Powerbooks or iBooks or both? What is the fastest model I should look for?

    Click here. All of the iBooks which fit those criteria are G3s.

  • What is the fastest OP system for a Macbook Pro Retina 2.6?

    What is the fastest OP system for a Macbook Pro Retina 2.6? I'm new to Mac so please excuse the weird question.

    Ok but that is a feature that I think is available to older Mac's that have an SSD so it is not totally restricted to Retina models or even the newest models of Mac's.
    With that you could say No Mac is what you paid for without ML installed. Which I disagree with.

    Well, I am. Power Nap is just one of the features you don't get on a Retina unless you do run Mountain Lion.

  • What is the fastest CPU I could put in Satellite Pro L20

    This is a desperate request for help!!
    The Football Manager 2010 is coming out soon and my laptop needs to be up to scratch.
    I know I need to upgrade it because Football Manager 2009 nearly killed it!
    At the moment I have 1.4ghz Intel Celeron M chip and 704mb of ram.
    What is the fastest chip I could put in? I've done a bit of research and found I can only have 2gb of ram
    The laptop is in perfect working order so I don't want to buy a new one just for the sake of it and its served me well over the last 4 years - I've dropped it enough times! Just need to speed it up a bit!

    Hmm... Do you really want to upgrade the pretty old Satellite Pro L20? I mean new notebooks are not so expensive anymore and I doubt that you will get a strong performance boost with new CPU.
    Anyway, in your notebook is only the preinstalled CPU pretested and nobody is able to say what other CPUs will run. But you should look on the specifications for other Satellite Pro L20 notebooks. If another L20 is equipped with faster CPU, it should also work in yours. You can try it but in worst case it will not work.
    Good luck!

  • What is the fastest way of getting data?

    With a scanning electron microscope, I need to scan a 512*512 pixel area with a pixel repetition of 15000 (two channels), meaning averaging over 15000 measurements. Simultaneously I have to adjust the voltage output for every pixel.
    I am using a 6111E Multifunction I/O board in a 800MHz P3. The whole task has do be done as fast as possible (not more than 20 minutes altogether).
    What is the fastest way to get this huge amount of data with averaging and output in between? (E.g. do I use buffered read with hardware triggering or is there a faster way?)

    Using the NI-DAQ API (not LabView) will give you a significant amount of more control over what happens and when to the data stream; which translates to a more efficient program. But you need to program in C/C++ or Delphi then. The Measurement Studio provides ActiveX controls that are like the LabView ones for C&C++ (they�re slow like the LabView ones though � not a lot you can do about the Windows GDI).
    What are you trying to sample 15000 times? The 512*512 pixel field?
    That�s almost 15Gigs of data! And it means you need to process data at 12.8MB/s to finish it in 20 minutes. I hope you know C, x86 assembly and MMX.
    I would setup a huge circular buffer (NI-DAQ calls them �double buffers�), about 30 seconds worth or so, to use with SCAN_Start. Then I would proces
    s the actual buffer the card is DMA�ing the data into with a high priority thread. Progressively sum the scan values from the 16bit buffer (the samples are only 12 bit, but the buffer should still be 16bits wide) into a secondary buffer of DWORDs the size of the screen (512*512), and you�ll need two of those, one for each channel. Once the 15000 scans are complete, convert each entry into a float divide by 15000.0f, and store it in a third buffer of floats.
    If you wish to contract this out, send me an email at [email protected]

    I'm not sure how all of this works but I read a few of yur comments and figured you'd be the person to ask! I have an iPod touch as well as my iPhone 4. I'm trying to find an otter box for the touch because I truly love it on my ip4, not to mention ive given the touch to my 6 year old and NEED the protection. Anyway, I'm not positive which generation it is and don't want to order the wrong one. The model # is A 1367.
    Any help?? Please!!!!

  • Sq01 what is the fastest way,

    hi all,
    what is the fastest way to detect coding that update to eban  from sq01?
    as i am facing problem with more than 100,000 PRs updated mysteriously (customer tab data ) without any history changes .
    i suspected it might be from query and i need to find the root cause of problem immediately
    pls advice

    Hi Ester,
    Haven't got clearly what you written.
    You mean to say, there is modifications done to query for updation?
    if it is a standard code then I don't think it is used for modification.

  • What is the FASTEST Internet Browser for OSX? (2014 Edition)

    What is the FASTEST Internet Browser for OSX? (2014 Edition)
    I'm a tech junkie, I love everything about technology.. especially FAST and EFFICIENT technology..
    I am currently using Google Chrome, and have nothing bad so say about it.. I like that I can "sign in" to Google Chrome pretty much anywhere (including my iPhone 5s), and instantly have access to all of my Bookmarks and Bookmark folders..
    I have seen a bunch of benchmark tests testing a bunch of available internet browsers on OSX.. however, the results seem a bit inconclusive and varying, and some that even support the notion that Safari is now FASTER than Google Chrome.. I'm not sure whether or not to believe it, and I don't really have the time/energy to conduct a series of tests on my own..
    What do you guys think? Is Google Chrome still considered the "fastest" when it comes to browsing/downloading?

    Has anyone used or have any opinions about Lightning?  I found some positive reviews around, and granted they all mention it's unrefined, they all seem to think it is the fastest.  Great as that may be, before I fork out the $2 I would like to get some more info regarding privacy and security.

  • What's the fastest way to share files live between 2 Macs in the same room?

    Please can I have some advice on this scenario?
    I'll need to share HD video footage between 2 new Mac Pros in the same room. 1 Mac will be used to upload the footage and the other to edit it using FCP. The footage can be stored either on hard drives in the edit machine or on desktop hard drives connected to the edit machine (or if there is a better option I'm open to advice).
    What is the fastest way of sharing the files and what is the simplest way?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    What is the fastest way of sharing the files and what is the simplest way?
    Fastest way? a fiber channel SAN connecting the two machines to a common fiber-channel based storage array. Can't beat it for performance, but it comes at a cost (think $20K as a starting point, depending on the amount of storage you need).
    Simplest way? Some external media (thumb drive, external hard drive, etc.) that you shuffle between the two machines
    Intermediate: a NAS-based storage box on your network, although be aware that real-time editing of HD video can overwhelm many low-end NAS boxes.

  • Buring a DVD now and then another one a week later. What is the fastest

    Buring a DVD now and then another one a week later. What is the fastest way to burn the second copy? I thought maybe burn to image but that doesn't seem to make a DVD that plays when you put it into a DVD player. Is "Save as video_ts folder" the best way? When I go to do a regular burn it wants to encode everything each time unless I do all my copies right away. There is zero help in iDVD's help.

    You can copy a disc image to a physical DVD with Apple's Disk Utility, but I prefer Toast.
    Re Video_TS folders: This folder is the guts of a DVD, but the option is more advanced than I am. Toast can handle these folders, and lets you add DVD-ROM content subsequently (but you can add any files to the DVD-ROM area of a DVD from within iDVD). Toast is also able to compress large Video_TS folders to better fit on a DVD (so that could be useful). The Help function in Toast was the source for this info.

  • What is the newest Model or Generation Airport Extreme?

    What is the newest Model or Generation Airport Extreme? And would the Time Capusle have all the same fuctions as an Airport Extreme with the added benefits of storage?

    What is the newest Model or Generation Airport Extreme?
    5th Generation  AirPort Extreme
    And would the Time Capusle have all the same fuctions as an Airport Extreme with the added benefits of storage?
    Yes. Newest Time Capsules are 4th Generation models available in 2 TB and 3 TB versions. 
    Just so Apple can confuse things though, the AirPort Extreme in the 4th Generation Time Capsule is the same AirPort Extreme as the 5th Generation Extreme.

  • What is the fastest way to pass data between parallel threads?

    I have a top level vi running with 6 parallel threads. I need to pass some data from digital I/O to several of the threads. What is the fastest responding way to do this. I am controlling a machine that has quite a few sensed events happening at very close intervals, some as close together as 1 to 2 milliseconds, and I seem to be randomly missing the signal from these sensors. How can I distribute the I/O to the different threads and not miss any inputs?

    I usually use a Queue to pass data from one loop to another. Other
    choices are Functional Globals or Notifiers. It kind of depends on what
    you need to do as to which one is best, so it's a bit hard to recommend
    one over the others without knowing more about your application.
    Both Queues and the Functional Globals (if written correctly) can
    buffer data so you're less likely to lose data if one loop gets behind
    the others.

    Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.
