Processors

What timeframe did Processors under 10 MHz, 100 MHz, 1 GHz and 2 GHz occupy? What was the timeframe of Dual-core Processors, of Quad-core Processors, of Hexa-core and Octa-core ones and of such harboring more cores still? I have the general idea regarding all those questions but within the...

What are the most melancholy hours for you in terms of computing? Would they stretch back to the mellow light-induced evenings enlightened by 386/486 CPUs? Would that be the Pentium era? Do you still remember vividly particular games and times: like when the sunlight sank deeply over sharpened...

Lately I have been experiencing PC crashes whenever my GPU gets loaded heavily, it started a few months ago and I think it has increased however I am not sure. I've tried stress loading the CPU using furmark and nothing happens, but when I try stress loading the GPU the pc crashes within seconds...

We all know that on paper the 5950X has four more cores and twice the threads compared to the 5900x, but when it comes to how each core was architectured, engineered and made, is there a difference there? Because if the only difference is that AMD decided to just add four more physical cores...

I would be glad to know if anybody has any information about the processors employed in the cockpit of an airplane, controlling the gauges and input from the pilots (model, architecture, speed). And what about the processors in the systems embedded into the backs of seats on which passengers...

Theoretically since the 3040 supports the i7 6700 then it should be able to support the K version of the same processor, the pc also has a 500w psu so power shouldn't be an issue.

I know this topic is in way of major discussion and that innumerable facts and points of view may matter drastically within it. Yet I feel tempted to find out what you think and which side you are on! Do write up! Thank you! (I'm personally on Intel's side of the boat.)

My mate works for a tech support company. They offer tech support to companies too small to have their own IT departments. This company offers storage space for a fee. and its been a process to upgrade and expand this part of the company. It a very successful company and the guys working there...

I have two CPUs that support TPM 2.0 and have 2 cores, meaning they cover the recommended system requirements of Windows 11. However, the CPUs are considered "unsupported", not because they are too weak, but just because they aren't listed in the list of supported CPUs for Windows 11. Those are...

Hello. I want to buy two new laptops for basic use (LibreOffice, web browsing, downloading, making archives, using Camtasia Studio, etc...). I got a list of different laptops, and all of them have one CPU, which is one of the following three: Intel Celeron N4020 Intel Celeron N4120 AMD...

Hi. As far as i know, my CPU, AMD A4-9120e, is locked and it can not be overlooked. When I open Windows Task Manager and go to Performance, it shows that the base speed is 1.50Ghz (Base speed: 1.50 GHz). However, the CPU's speed can be below or above 1.50 GHz. If I leave the system idle, it may...

According to Microsoft's PC Health Check app, my low-end laptop supports every requirement, except the CPU. What will happen, if i install Windows 11 on my laptop? Also, i have one more question. The PC Health Check app says this: "The processor clock speed is 1Ghz or faster." At the same...

Hello. I have a locked CPU. My question is, can i overclock my CPU? If overclocking a locked CPU is impossible, is there another way, besides overclocking, that can increase the power of my CPU? My CPU is this: AMD-A4-9120e RADEON R3, 4 COMPUTE CORES 2C+2G

Hello. Can someone explain to me what new features do new CPUs have? For example, what is the difference between AMD's overkill (best) CPU of the year 2021, and AMD's overkill (best) CPU of the year 2022? If the clock rate (GHz) no longer grows, and the number of transistors no longer grows...

Hello. I have a very weak CPU, and i would like to overlock it, so i can gain a little bit more processing power. This is the CPU: AMD A4-9120e RADEON R3, 4 COMPUTE CORES 2C+2G Can someone explain to me how do i overlock it? Is there software that can overlock the CPU automatically, or do i...

I currently have a Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2 Motherboard (LGA1151) with an i3-6098p processor. I wanted to upgrade the processor and was thinking of going for the i5-9400F which also has the same socket type (LGA1151). Now, is looking at the socket type sufficient here, or do I need to make sure...

I am building my first pc and i'm on budget, but I have a dilemma about these two processors Is there a big difference between ryzen 5 2600 and ryzen 5 3600 I can't decide which processor is best buy here i think it's just a waste of money to buy 3600 now but i want to see your oppinion too...

So, I'm debating whether Intel's Core i3s are worth it are not. The answer I see from most tech channels are varying shades of "no". However, I do not think it's so clear cut in my case. Where I live, the new i3-10100 is priced at about $140. The Ryzen 5 1600 is just below it at $135. The 2600...

My motherboard is H110m-r and running with g4560 which is 7th gen at 2400mhz ddr4 ram also (can see speed from task manager) i want to upgrade to i5 6500 which is 6th gen, will my ram be limited to 2133mhz or stay at 2400mhz?

Hi! So I've had this issue intermittently, but increasingly frequently, over the last week or two. The whole display appears to flicker, sporadically, sometimes a few seconds and sometimes minutes apart. Additionally, everything has been rather slow, but that's been more or less the case since...

Hey I'm building a pc on a budget and I'd like to know if pairing a intel i5 9400F with a gtx 1650 or rx 570 would result in a bottleneck. Also which would be better, the 570 or the 1650?

Hello , everybody. Please, bear with me for a minute; it is the first time I ever post here, although I have been visiting this place for quite some time, hence I want to say hello to you all. Now, I am currently carrying out a study about microprocessors in general, since they were first...

The CPU I have is a Ryzen 5 1600x. It is a 6 Core processor which I bought when I was making my new PC. It says I’ve only got 2 cores and 4 Logical processors. I am using my old version of Windows as it didn’t prompt me to install windows when I started up my new build. I’ve tried going into...

Buying a OEM version of i5 2400 so.. Will a i3 2120 (TDP 65W) stock processor heatsink fan be compatible (in terms of cooling) with i5 2400 (TDP 95W) processor with same LGA 1155 socket?? If not then, probably the reason also?? Thank you.

I currently have a Z270-Gaming K3 Motherboard which seems to be incompatible with an Intel i7 8700 processor. I'd like to get the 8700 sometime soon so that my PC is up to scratch for Ray Tracing requirements. I'd also need a suitable heatsink to fit the 8700 too as I'm unsure if the one on my...

Hi, I'm throwing together a basic system for my mom, ms word, firefox, maybe some picture and very maybe some video editing. Right now the cpu and cooler are on the gigabyte motherboard using igpu and idling at 38c in bios, cpu fan 400-500 of 1300rpm max, which seems hot to me and the fans seem...

Hey all, I've got a Sapphire r9 295x2 card that I need some advice on how to fix. The card has undergone fairly moderate use and is a few years old, as a preface. Right now, I have a couple issues with it: 1) Progressively worse overheating that causes immediate PC shutdown, as if it were...

Hello, I'm 14 and can't get a job. So I resorted to buying used parts online to save some money. I haven't actually bought any parts yet and I'm probably only going to buy the GPU used. I'm scared though, what if the part doesn't work? What should I look out for...

Alright so here's the deal, I have a PC and the thing is, when I try to boot it with my peripherals plugged in it'll stay stuck on the Mobo Splash screen but, when I unplug the Mouse/Keyboard it continues to boot normally, any idea on what I can do? Note: it is an asus Motherboard.
