sir stagea.. tama po ba intindi ko?
malakas ang a6/a8 sa graphics mahina sa processing
ang i3 naman malakas sa processing mahina sa graphics?
kaya sila at par sa performance?
Tama po. Yung general processing capability nung Llano is more in line with the Clarkdale processors pa (and sometimes with the Yorkfield pa nga), while the graphics capability is quite a bit ahead of the Sandy Bridge. Intel might try to bridge the gap with Llano's graphics capability with the upcoming Ivy Bridge processor. The AMD Trinity should come out sooner though, and it's supposed to further improve on graphics and parallel compute capability (by integrating an HD 7xxx series GPU).
Here are Intel processors and their AMD counterparts that we normally find in a Home Theater:
Nettop:
Intel Atom ~ AMD Brazos
Entry Level:
Intel Celeron ~ AMD Brazos (Zacate)
Intel Pentium ~ AMD Llano A4
Mainstream:
Intel Core i3 ~ AMD Llano A6, AMD Bulldozer FX-4
Intel Core i5 ~ AMD Llano A8, AMD Bulldozer FX-6
High End:
Intel Core i7 ~ AMD Bulldozer FX-8
Enterprise:
Intel Xeon ~ AMD Opteron
The Llano and Bulldozer processors overlap in pricing and market coverage. To simplify things:
Llano - Efficiency-oriented; Higher IPC design; w/ Integrated GPU
Bulldozer - Enthusiast-oriented; Higher Clock Speed and OC Headroom; Multiplier-Unlocked
hehe honestly.. now ko lang nalaman may ganyan na amd.. hehe medyo intel fanboy here eh.. hehe those are very nice consumption po for the amd.... 16.2watts @idle... most of the time.. idle lang naman ang... htpc.. downloading.. hehehe
and for me.. ok lang matakaw when im watching or playing... kasi nagagamit ko naman.. nanhihinayang lang ako pag... matakaw kahit idle..
I agree. Most PCs stay idle most of the time. Tulad nito at nagtatype lang tayo sa PDVD at nagbabrowse.
