hi, I was looking on the internet and pretty frustrated with the info about amd's apu lineup for 2013. it shows the 'richland' and 'kaveri' series. I am interested in the mobile processors and their specs. all I could find was desktop processors. I realize kaveri's info isn't out yet, but im...

it is a sata 3 SSD..

did some research.. it was the Samsung software that came with the laptop. I did a fresh install of windows, and only installed the Samsung drivers necessary without the extra crap. it is running all 4 cores at 2700 MHz according to cpu-z, and under load a couple of the cores go up to 3200. now...

hi, when I purchased my laptop I immediately knew something was wrong. I did a little research on the net and realized other people with the same laptop have the same problem. it has an A10-6400m processor. supposed to be 2.3 ghz-- max's out at 900 MHz though. im guessing its just a...

hmm.. I looked in bios- nothing in the way of power savings.. do you know if there's something I could do either with device manager or system configuration or anything like that? thanks again!!

makes sense.. I did set the minimum processor rate to be 100% on every windows power plan, but i'm guessing that doesn't mean the cpu would be running at 100% power cause then it would just be computing 0000's constantly or something like that.. do you know how I could test it? I think I...

one of the things I don't get though is that cpu-z rated my cpu at 900 mhz.. in the pictures I linked above its the second or third screenshot I took..

shoot I didn't realize it was a weak cpu.. I figured they wouldn't perform much different.. apart from hyperthreading.. so I guess it is functioning properly, just not a great processor.. thanks!!

actually the thing is that I wanna make sure my laptop is functioning at the level of the specs.. that is my main goal. it is A10-4600m quad 2.3ghz, 8 gb 1600mhz, sata ii connection with a sata3 agility 4 256gb, and I put a fresh, purchased copy of windows 8 pro 64bit on it. it is not as...

if anyone has time to look at this photos it would be greatly appreciated: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=C2C0EA132212086C!118&authkey=!AFzLPVAD12YJyTs and I ran cinebench, the results: opengl- 14.63 fps reference image match- 99.29% rendering- 0.76 rendering single core- 0.23 mpr-...

I will try those, thx.. also don't know if it would even work but was thinking of running AMD Overdrive.. but I think it has to be an unlocked processor to get anywhere.

not they are both win 8 pro.. yeah I would think its a glitch.. I need to run a benchmark... problem is I haven't kept up with certain areas of tech, like benchmarks.. also I would wanna run a game and see if it runs all 4 cores at high speed... I hope its not some driver mismatch that doesn't...

I tried it a few times over... same result. but I did notice one thing.. here is the capture: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=C2C0EA132212086C!112&authkey=!AOQAX3WtNrxeE7A it looks like the test is only activating one of the cores in the test.. the temporary spikes on the other 3 cores...

hi, I have 2 laptops. the first is running phenom 2 N660, a dual 3.0 ghz. the second I just bought and is running A10-4600M, quad 2.3 ghz. I ran the windows system rating. the dual 3ghz got 6.4 for the processor subscore, and the other got 3.5........ any ideas of what is going on? thx!

awesome! thanks for your help!! those were some great links!
