Intel Core i3 350M vs intel i5-450M

[Assasin boy]

I recent test mobile Core i5 has highlighted the excessive consumption of a processor that does not really intended for mobile use , what should we expect from? Engraved 32 nm against 45 for its predecessor, the latest addition to Intel is expected to provide greater autonomy for laptops that team. I also what about the performance of these Processors ? The Core i5 offers the Turbo revisited, while Core i3 not take advantage of this option we will study in detail. Please compare Intel Core i3 350M vs intel i5-450M.

The core i5 is more efficient , it is a new generation of intel . It has two hearts , but with the hyperthreading function can execute 4 threads in parallel: it's almost as if he had two additional virtual hearts . In addition to the core i5 has a turbo mode : normally the i5 650 running at 3.2 Ghz , but when one core is used, it may climb to 3.46 GHz . It overclock alone according to the request, but remained below a threshold power consumption max. Also note that the core contains an i5 integrated graphics in the same chip as the processor, if it is only the office, but if you want to play games a bit lately this integrated gpu is too limited It 'll still add a graphics card.

The Core 500 and Core i3 i5 600 die on their own GPU , the GMA HD . Developed by Intel it takes over the previous GMA in decoding HD videos (this is discussed in a subsequent test, the lack of time forced to make some choices for this test) while in theory more powerful in games . It must be said that the GMA 4500 was not a lightning war, with the Intel GMA HD gives some color to the GPU.

Intel also mentioned increasing frequency over the previous generation . However , it involves only the Core i5 661 with the IGP is clocked at 900 MHz because the other models are just 733 MHz , 800 MHz for the cons of the G45 IGP . We compared the performance of the Core i5 661 to this level with those of other PGI as well as some graphics cards . The GeForce G210 DDR2 to represent the ultra low-end GeForce GT 240 graphics card to represent a 75 $and the Radeon HD 5750 512MB graphics card to represent one placed just below 100 $ .

Unlike the CPU, the GMA HD is engraved in 45nm , he was also a bit more space as we can see from the pictures. To take advantage of the graphics , it will necessarily map H55 , H57 and Q57 , only able to take advantage , and the P55 will not incapable. This applies only to the graphics, a Core or Core i5 i3 5xx 6xx is perfectly capable of operating in a P55 card (we tested on several cards P55 ) . Similarly , a Lynnfield (Core i7 800 and Core i5 700) work fine on a map H55 , obviously once again the video outputs will not be usable due to lack of GPU.

As for desktop processors , Intel introduced six new models under the brand Core i5 i3 600 and Core 500. As for chipsets, we are entitled to 3 new models: Q57 , H57 and H55 . For this test , Intel has provided us not only one processor , the Core i5 661 but we 've also been able to get a Core i5 540. What are the features of the new desktop processors launched. The TDP ranging from 18 to 35 watts , not Ultra Low Voltage models so. The prices of these models range from 225-332 dollars . To accompany them , are four chipsets Part : QS57 , QM57 , HM57 and HM55 .
