because Samsung's application processors feature - as a microprocessor for use with mobile devices should - an array of power-saving mechanisms. Software controls reductions in the CPU, system and periphery bus clock speeds as well as the deactivation of individual...

power, because on battery, power management software can reduce CPU speed by around one-half and thus make the fight between applications and services for CPU access even more of a knock-down-drag-out affair. Remove Unnecessary Startup Tasks Many of today's...

get a little touchy about others. If you're building a new system from scratch then you should probably be thinking about an 800MHz or better CPU. Overclocking is not recommended since many capture cards derive their timing from the CPU and, unlike most software...

wireless MMX commands nor does it have wireless SpeedStep to save power. However, with this CPU, the speed can also be lowered manually with software to 200 MHz. No MMX commands were used in the CPU arithmetic benchmark. Consequently, the new CPU unit fell...

have to undergo exactly the same set of tests. Our engineers test performance using PDA benchmarking software for Pocket PC and Palm OS handhelds that we developed in our lab. Both versions of this software measure CPU and 2D graphics performance and memory...

Samsung's application processor - as befits a microprocessor intended for use in mobile devices - has various power-saving mechanisms: software controls lower the CPU, system and peripheral bus speeds and switch off several function blocks if less power is...

while software compression works poorly on slower systems. For most users this simply means a reduction in multi-tasking ability when using software compression, as overtaxing the CPU will result in choppy video. Another feature lacking here is a TV tuner....
