What kind of Intel chips does new MBP have?

...or even an iMac for that matter.
I tried to look at Intel website to try to identify both the codename and the processor type.
For example the best MBP processor you can get is the 2.8 GHz one and that might be either the Penryn 2.8 GHZ with L2 cache of 6144KB or the Merom one with the same frequency but with L2 cache of 4096 KB.
Also If that is the case both of the procs are rated Intel Core 2 Extreme (one is X7900 and the other is X9000). So if that's the case can we assume that the new MBPs can be fitted with intel core 2 extreme mobile procs?
Also the same story applies to the new iMac Intel 3.06 GHz...what kind of processor is that? best guess is that it is an E8400?
Thanks.

Hi Andrei,
Stefan...you're implying that the iMac uses a notebook proc? And yes i couldn't find the 3.06 GHz proc anywhere on Intel's website.
Follow the link I provided to the X9100.
The Intel iMacs were always based on Notebook technology ever since they came out.
Only exception is the usage of a 3.5" harddisk.
Mainly because of the integrated design of the iMacs and the need to have a decent cooling of the CPU and GPU made it a neccessity for Apple.
Andrei
PS: Come to think of it, i think it's the PC side of me still talking and asking useless question like what core 2 duo quad extreme blah blah proc does it have... Still new to Mac world.
No need for explanations of your intentions to ask.
This is the place to ask and as you can see you usually get answers.

What kind of Intel Chip

What kind of Intel chip is in the new MBP? The Penryn was in the last model, but no mention is given as to the chip in the new versions. The tech specs just say the newest Intel chips.

Does this article mean that the pros are only getting some of the Montevina benefits?

What kind of operations is doing when DML statement is executing

i want to know what kind of operations are doing where dml sql statement is executeing - undo and redo log, index renewing, transaction log, audit log - is there some operations that i do not know ?

Intially sql goes to library cache, where it checks for syntax and sematics, once it pass throw, it generates a 16 digit hash code for that sql( for the first time this can be treated as 'HARD PARSING' and and the same sql given for 2nd time it wont do the entire process, just uses the existing #code, this is called as 'SOFT PARSING") and finally this goes to DDC where object existence and privileges are checked, once it passed all these it gets the file#,block# to fetech the blocks form datafile, and those will be fetched to database buffer cache and then to client system in such a format that we can usderstood.
Hope this makes sense to you!

What type of wireless router w/new MBP C2D??

I have a new 17" C2D MBP on order and I would like to sort out my wireless home network before it arrives...
As I am new to the wireless world, I do not understand what wireless router would work for this new MBP. I have read about it having 802.11g technology, but I have also seen something about N technology... my local computer shop says that they don't have N technology yet, but will soon.
What is this all about? Is 802.11g G technology? What do I get to have wireless internet access with my new MBP at home?

If you have the MBP C2D and you would like to get a wireless router. I suggest that you get a 802.11n router, as it works for both 802.11b, 802.11g as well as 802.11n. It is common knowledge by now that the wireless card that is used in the MBP with the C2D is an Atheros AR5008 802.11n. Though it is recognized as an 802.11g in the current OSX 10.4, this wireless card has the possibility of being used at its native state of 802.11n. What does this mean to you? Well, the 802.11n is ~ 650% faster than 802.11g and has about 5X the range of it as well. Though 10.4 does not recognize the card as such, windows vista will (that is if you plan on installing it onto the system) and OSX 10.5 might (I don't if Apple, will support draft N [802.11n] of the new wireless standard, even though they put a wireless card in the system that is a Draft N card). So get a wireless router that uses 802.11n. It'll save you money in the future.
Ok, now I'm done explaining why you should get the 802.11n router. Now, as for those who might say otherwise. If you think the 802.11n draft standard is going to change much from now, until the standard is finalized, then you may or may not be right. But from what my professor explained to me about how the technology works, it probably won't change that much. If I were to explain it to anyone on this board about how the standard works, it would be a hopeless matter unless you have taken classes in state variables or control systems. But I guess there are more than enough resources online to find out about how the Draft N standard works. And that is my 2 cents.

What kind of cell library does opensparc T1 verilog code use?

Hi all
I am running simulations on the instruction fetching unit module of opensparc T1 recently, when I tried to simulate the module with VCS from (synopsys), it has some errors below
Error-[URMI] Instances with unresolved modules remain in the design.

It seems like some modules like mux3ds or dff_s #(4), I am using NangateOpenCellLibrary_PDKv1_3_v2009_07/verilog/NangateOpenCellLibrary_typical_conditional.v as library files.
But it does not hve descriptions to modules like mux3ds or dff_s #(4).
Does anyone know what kind of cell library that opensparc T1 use to define those modules?

oh also - to show (for coherence) what happens if i try to
modify it
i can add "import ,,, ack let me add something else here
hmm....
static function blank() { trace("screens off!"); screensaver.blank("SCREEN_1"); }
okay THAT is where , aside from hitting a catch - that it gives errors (getting about 50 errors, every single reference in the file)
now note - the other class/actionscript file right next to it doesnt throw any errors at all - very very similar - nothing wrong with it
now if i put "import screensaver;" directly above that line
it lists the exact same errors + one more error, in the same way
if i put that line upwards more, same thing
it can not find the include componentry or whatever it is called
i can import 20 things there and it wont go anywhere, no way, no how
now if i put the "import screensaver" alllllll the way at the top prior to the package { } declaration
then! i get a different error, cant put the import statement there
otherwise it's boffing on every single thing in the file - and note - not any of the other three files that are very similar
so basically to further elucidate - i am getting the actual import statement to fail

What kind of LCD screen is the MBP display?

I have a 2007 Santa Rosa Macbook Pro. I'm curious what kind of LCD screen the display is. I know TN is the worst, and something like ISPS is better...

The screens in the MBP are provided by one of three manufacturers: Samsung, LG, and Chimei. Although there is a host of debate about which is the best between Samsung and LG, everyone agrees that Chimei screens are the worst.
The Samsung panels tend to be more "vivid" compared to the LG screens (although you'll only notice this difference if you compare the two side by side.) The LG screens tend to be less susceptible to "yellowing." If you get a good, defect-free Samsung panel you hit the jackpot. It's the best of the three.
To find out which one you have, go to System Preferences > Displays > Color > Open Color Profile and scroll down to line 13. Post the code next to "Manufacturer Code." (It should be something like 0000009c68.) Bring it back here and someone will be able to tell you what screen you have.
Of course, unrelated to the screen, the Santa Rosa MacBook Pro was the first to introduce LED backlighting.

External harddrive (also, what kind of internal drive does iMac use)

I was just wondering what kind of hard drive apple uses. I am getting an intel iMac soon and although I probably won't upgrade the harddrive now I may consider adding an external one later on.
My question is this: How come it is $300 to add 250 gigs internally on the machine? That seems like a lot of money to me(amateur)considering you can get external drives for almost half that. Is the quality that good, or is it just a matter of engineering?
Also, any recommendations of good external drives? Thanks!

Dunebug38,
Apple uses different manufacturers for their hard drives. I have a Western Digital hard drive in my iMac. I know that Apple uses Seagate hard drives also, and likely others, as well.
I couldn't say why Apple charges so much to add the larger hard disk. Apple charges more for memory too, at least beyond 1GB.
As for external drives, I have two Other World Computing external hard disks, both of which have an OWC case and Western Digital 300GB drives. I bought the case kit and hard drives separately, and installed the hard drive myself (which is quite easy to do). These work flawlessly with my iMac. When you look for an external drive, I suggest that you look for a FireWire drive (or combination FireWire/USB 2.0), and be sure that it has the Oxford 911 bridge, as this one is known to work well with Macs.
I hope this helps.

What kind of resource demand does the standalone listener create?

Hi all -
I'm wondering what kind of resource load is consumed by the separating the listener off of the database. I guess I was under the impression the listener doesn't really do much at all other than handle the connections and calls to the database. Is it correct in assuming the majority of the resource consumption is still actually on the database or does the listener have a more impacting role?
The question goes into determining what kind of processing power would be needed for a server that is only hosting the listener. Seeing as there really isn't anything that changes within the environment I'm wondering if it's really necessary to have multiple VM's setup for the sole purpose of hosting the listener. On that same note, is separating the listener onto a separate machine really removing any processing demand from the database?
Thanks :)

Hi,
it seems you mixed up the database listener with APEX Listener. The APEX Listener is not an alternative for the database listener (you'll still need it when using the APEX Listener), but can be an alternative web server for the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway (EPG, using the database's internal XDB HTTP Server) or Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) to host your APEX instance.
So as ALEX points out, it'll need about as much resources as one of the other web servers would. How much it will be depends on your usage scenario. Again, there is no immediate relation to the database listener.

Why does new MBP make little digital knocking sound?

I have just got a new MBP and am quite new to using Macs. It makes a funny little digital knocking noise at random times but quite frequently. There are two tones, which sound quite friendly, with a subtle digital bong noise in the background.
I have looked at whether something is happening in certain programs such as updating or saving to file, and have checked if it was maybe receiving email to various accounts but i cannot find the source to this sound.
Can anyone help as I am sure my MBP is trying to communicate something with me!
Thanks

I just started having the same problem

What kind of Intel Core 2 Duo has the iMac 20" and 24" ?

Hi,
I wanted to compare the Intel Core 2 Duo processors from the iMac with the ones available for Dell pcs.
I noticed that there are many kinds of Intel Core 2 Duo processors: E6400, E6600, etc.
I tried to search on apple.com if they had more specific information about the kind of Core 2 Duo but couldn't find it anywhere.
Can anybody tell me ?
Cheers! cj.

Apple uses the mobile version of Core 2 Duo in the iMacs. They only use the 1.83 to 2.33 GHz versions.
This is from the Wikipedia;
Merom
Merom, the first mobile version of the Core 2, was officially released on July 27, 2006 but quietly began shipping to PC manufacturers in mid-July alongside Conroe.[5][6] Merom is Intel's premier line of mobile processors, with largely the same features as Conroe but with more emphasis on low power consumption to enhance notebook battery life. Intel has claimed that Merom will provide 20% more performance yet maintain the same battery life as the Yonah-based Core Duo. Merom will be the first Intel mobile processor to feature EM64T 64-bit extensions.
Intel has stated that the first version of Merom is drop-in compatible with the current Core Duo platform, requiring at most a BIOS update. It has the same thermal envelope and the same 667 MT/s bus rate.[7]
The Merom processors are labeled as the "T5x00" and "T7x00" Core 2 Duo models, with the T5200 clocked at 1.60 GHz, the T5500 clocked at 1.66 GHz, the T5600 clocked at 1.83 GHz, the T7200 clocked at 2.0 GHz, the T7400 clocked at 2.16 GHz, and the T7600 clocked at 2.33 GHz. The T5x00 models come with 2 MB of shared L2 cache, and the T7x00 models come with 4 MB of shared L2 cache.

Does new MBP still come with an OS DVD?

Just ordered a new MBP and am wondering if it comes with an OS DVD. reason I ask is that upon arrival I will partition the HD and wonder how I get the OS reinstaled. Like clone it, but with cloning the recovery partion will not clone.
Thanks

Since the Lion release, new Macs don't come with DVDs. Instead, they come with OS X Recovery, that allows you to reinstall OS X. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
To start in OS X Recovery, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting. OS X will be downloaded from the Mac App Store each time you want to reinstall OS X. Apart from that, iLife apps are installed from the Mac App Store, and you can reinstall those applications free of charge.
Note that an application like Carbon Copy Cloner will also clone OS X Recovery to an external drive

Will my new MBP have the same IP address if I use Migration Assistant?

In a couple of weeks I'll have my new MacBook Pro-13". I want to transfer all files from my current Intel MacBook via Migration Assistant. I'll have both Macs running 10.6.3 Snow Leopard or latest OS when I do this.
OK but now I still want to use the old MacBook -but won't the IP Address (looks like this: 192.168.0.###) be the same on both Macs after using Migration Assistant? If so, then how do I avoid that? Do I set-up my NEW MacBook Pro first and then use Migration Assistant? Or ???
Thanks for any advise as I will only have a couple of days to set-up my new MBP as I am giving the old MB to my daughter and then she's leaving to fly home! If no volcano of course!
Thanks,
Steve

Hi
+"are you saying that when I first start-up the new MBP my home wired and wireless internet setup will assign an IP number to the MBP that will be different from the existing MB?"+
Yes. Most 'ad-hoc' home networks will have 'something' handing out IP addresses. Typically this will be a Router or possibly Router/Modem combination depending which kind of DSL Service you have. In an environment like this the Router/Gateway will be the DHCP Server. If you're not manually assigning IP address this would be the case. No DHCP Server AFAIK hands out the same IP addresses to two or more separate devices connecting to the same network. If you are manually assigning IP Addresses you still would not do this. Even if you did a warning message would appear telling you the IP address was in use. This is typical of the sort of basic networking most home environments have.
+"Further I should then use Migration Assistant but I should NOT ENABLE the option to transfer network settings?"+
As already mentioned whenever I've tried this they never transfer anyway. In which case don't bother selecting the option. If you're using firewire cables you don't have to have them connected to any network at all.
It's always a good idea to turn on anything new and test it. It's not impossible for there to be a hardware problem. It's rare but it does happen.
HTH?

After migrating to new MBP have two versions of GarageBand

Just finished migrating to my new MBP from an older MBP. I had the latest version of GB on the older machine. After completing the migration, found two copies of GB on the new machine. One is the latest version, 10.0.1 and the other is GB '11 (V 6.x.x). Can I remove the older one without causing any problems with the lastest version?
Thanks all

léonie, I am able to reinstall 6.0.5 from the app store. It says it's not available in the store but it will still let me download it. Not sure if it would be able to install it on a Mac that didn't come with it.
That is very good news, isteveus. Perhaps Apple support has changed the policy. It may depend on the country. I am seing this - GarageBand 6.0.5 is showing as installed, when I am viewing the AppStore, but I cannot view it, when I want to check the system requirements. I get the "Item not available" warning. What happens, when you click the 6.0.5 icon? When I trash GB 6.0.5 and reload the App Store, the "Install" button stays dimmed. I just tried again.
Congratulations to reaching level 5, by the way, isteveus! The new pentagon badge suits you!

Does new iMac have fan? Is it noisy?

Does the new iMac have a cooling fan? Is it noisy?
Thanks,
Edward.

It certainly does. IIRC, there is a cooling fan for the processor (there must be one nowadays), one for the optical drive and one for the hard drive, plus maybe one for the graphics card (I'm not sure about this one). I get this info from the disassembly photos of the new iMac.
I don't have an aluminum iMac, but if you search the forum you'll see that most people say it's quiet, maybe even more than the previous Intel iMac (which was reportedly much quieter than the G5 iMac).
