Powernow automatically matches the CPU performance to the processor load.) Whereas Intel's power-saving technology for the Pentium M ("improved" Enhanced Speedstep ) fixes the level and number of CPU operating points for developers, AMD processors give notebook...

saving technology Powernow . When employing this technology, the CPU performance and power consumption automatically change depending on the processor's workload. If the system requires increased processor performance, the processor clock rate is higher. If...

bitterly disappointed him. Give his rant a read.. You can probably guess my first criticism. The Intel Atom processor is infamous for being a poky performer. The processor family was originally designed for mobile Internet devices (MIDs), a product group that...

processor load averages about 25 percent. Processor load on DVD playback under PowerMizer "Maximum Performance." Processor load on DVD playback under PowerMizer "Maximum Power Savings." Not so during games. Here the processor load drops almost to one-half...

synthetic benchmark that measures the notebook’s graphics performance.   Cinebench R10 The Cinebench tests the rendering performance of the processor, first using only one core, then using all cores. Windows Experience Index The Windows Experience...

RAID 0 . Another way to boost drive performance is to adjust the cluster size of your hard drive. The default NTFS cluster size is 4 kB on drives larger than 2 GB. However, the clusters can be manually set as high as 64 kB. Larger clusters will boost performance...

Mediabolic. Maxtor indicated that the device has 64 MB of RAM internally, no flash and the drives each have 16 MB of cache. Maxtor also said the SSII uses a Marvell chipset but didn't specify which one. However, given the SSII's performance, the processor could...

the lens provides a good-quality, even image. The zoom is almost wide-angle (30-mm) and 5x making, it relatively capable across the board. It’s a shame that the macro mode doesn’t give better performance. The processor rectifies any chromatic aberrations,...

the components tests. Processor performance is pretty much in line with the speed of each notebook’s processor. All of the notebooks have pretty much the same memory. WEI memory performance seems fairly tightly tied to processor performance. 3D graphics...

performance, much work has been done to improve the caching performance and transfer rate performance of the new notebook hard drives to help overcome the sheer deficit in RPMs. The 5400 RPM hard drives will help achieve better notebook performance overall,...
