How notebook CPU performance distinguishes

NET friend: Recent studies want to buy a notebook, but these complex CPU models are expressed what meaning? What do you think of the performance?

In fact, the CPU product line is complex and lengthy, the manufacturer name the complex processor model on the one hand need to distinguish them, on the other hand may be more hope to confuse digital white. Do not listen to the four core eight core to follow the profiteers of the pace of flirting, the low-end of the atom are beginning to eight nuclear performance is not the same end of the stage.

The detail parameters of the processor, features supported features summed up very complex, want to say it may take a long time, but for ordinary consumers do not need to know so many irrelevant technical indicators, for the mass consumer groups as long as you know which performance is good to help the decision to buy this is enough, So today we say that the mobile version of the processor in the notebook, complex models have what simple meaning, representing what performance level.

intel® IVB Platform Mobile version processor

Although Intel launched the Haswell platform in June, the publicity, the speed of the follow-up is very fast, but the current market on the third generation of IVB platform processor models still occupy half, so said IVB platform is not to mention.

At present, the most common IVB platform i3 processor performance from low to High is roughly ranked as follows: I3-3229y

At present, the most common IVB platform i5 processor performance from low to High is roughly ranked as follows: I5-3339y

At present, the most common IVB platform i7 processor performance from low to High is roughly ranked as follows: I7-3689y

However, in order to reflect the level of product differentiation, the performance of the adjacent two-level processor is generally very small (5%-10%), consumers in the purchase of the time or according to their own pockets to choose as appropriate, rather than blindly pursue performance, focus on cost-effective is a very sensible choice.

Intel® Haswell Platform Mobile version processor

The new Haswell processor has a higher performance performance than the previous generation of IVB processors, and presents a trend of low power consumption for high-end products with lower performance. But the most striking new upgrade comes from the iris Core video card, which, compared to the core graphics integrated with the previous platform, actually enhances the performance of iris (Sharp Torch) and Iris Pro (Rui Torch Pro), which is even more than doubled. However, unlike the IVB platform, not all Haswell processors are carrying the same nuclear display, according to product positioning of the high and low, also divided into a variety of models, consumers should pay special attention when buying. Here the author directly to a table for your reference.

We can see that the lower end of the processor product has been fully entered into the low and low power design, this is one of the efforts of the processor, after all, the lower-power product applications in the lightweight product tolerance is greater, but the first few processors actual performance compared to the previous generation of low-end products will not have a clear advantage, Lower power consumption is where they reflect value.

Another attentive friend must have found that the processor suffix is significantly different from the previous generation, and that the core graphics models are not the same, so it's easy to say the meaning of the various processor suffixes and the relationship between different graphics cards and performance improvements.

Suffix HQ: The bottom number 2 is low voltage version, using HD 4600 core graphics card. The last digit of the 0 is the standard voltage version, using the strongest iris Pro 5200 core graphics card. Suffix MQ: The bottom number is 2 low voltage version, using HD 4600 core graphics card, and the HQ series is the main difference between the packaging method. The bottom number 0 is the standard voltage version, using HD 4600 core graphics card. Higher frequency than the HQ series, the cache is also larger. Suffix u: The bottom number is 8 for dual core low voltage version, with Iris 5100 core graphics, TDP 28W. The last digit of 0 is the dual core ultra-low voltage version, with HD 5000/4400 core graphics, TDP is only 15W. Suffix y: Frequency and power dissipation are the lowest dual core processor, using HD 4200 core graphics, TDP only 11.5W.

In terms of core graphics performance, HD 4600 has been able to achieve Nvidia's previous generation gt630m independent graphics level, HD 5000 above the level of core can be beyond the Kepler framework of almost all Nvidia low-end alone, performance is quite good, The core graphics card has also been significantly improved.

In addition to the above two generations of products, Atom Ling processor in the market is also very large, the most common is the atom of z2760m, but in terms of its actual performance, but also with the mainstream products have a certain gap, generally only on the flat and small size low-priced products.

AMD Mobile Version APU processor

In view of the actual purchase APU Processor notebook users are few, Apu's market share is less than 20%, here is a simple description of it. First APU also provides a similar product positioning with Intel, in the mainstream market to consumers from low to high E300, E450, E2, A4, A6, A8, A10 and other series of products, but by the technical constraints, in fact, each positioning compared to Intel products in the performance of almost a lower grade , and the Intel product formation of a dislocation of the corresponding relationship.

For example, the A10 position is equivalent to Intel's i7, but the actual performance is only equivalent to the same age i5 to i7 intermediate level, A8 actual performance on the i3 to the middle level, i5 performance corresponding to the Pentium Dual-core to A6 level, i3 actual performance even less than Pentium dual core. This is the usual test in a corresponding relationship, of course, there are some frequency of high and low differences.

The purchase of APU products in addition to the price and "digging capacity" on the advantages, compared to Intel in the performance of virtually no advantage, ordinary users to buy notebook products from a practical point of view, the author recommends that more than Intel products, If the budget is limited then it is certainly a good choice to buy the APU products with a slightly higher configuration.

Hope that through this article, you will be able to better understand the market notebook product processor model meaning and performance characteristics, I believe that understanding these issues, in the purchase of notebook products more leisurely, choose the right one for their own.
