sa palagay ko sir, mas maganda yung i3-530... sa kin lang naman po, sir..

mas maganda ang i3 sa previous core2duo, dahil ito na yung bagong architecture ng dual core. kung mapapansin nyo, 4 ang threads nito. pang quadcore ang thread nya.



unlike sa mga previous core2duo

e.g. E8400

dalawa lang ang thread


at kung mapapansin nyo, may L3 cache ang i3, yung E8400 wala. pansinin nyo ang Core voltage ng i3, 0.952v lang, compare sa 1.288v ng E8400, which means mas less consumption ng energy at syempre mas malamig yung i3, pero mas mataas ang frequency nya compare sa E8400 at that certain amount of voltage. mas mataas din ang multiplier ng i3 which is more overclockable. price-wise ay panalo pa din ang i3.

HTH!

thanks boss mark!

how about i3 laptops? overclockable din po ba?? i've read some na di advisable i-overclock ang laptop... what's your view on this? anyone?
idea lang po sana..

@necrolyte,

does it mean na I will got 4 buckets while rendering using 3D studio max using i3 processor? parang quad core din pala.

whoah! that will be a sick processor para sa mga cost cutting na machine but yet powerful.

hindi naman, 2 cores pa din, pero mas mabilis lang. iba pa din kung naka i7 ka, talagang hahataw yun.

i have i3 on my laptop got 4 buckets during rendering, halos kalahati ng i7 ko. its good for mobile pc.
