Hyperthreading and 7.1 on WEI (Careful With the Cooler's Push-Pins...)

Pros: - Extremely fast dual core CPU - Includes hyper-threading - 7.1 out of 7.9 on WEI - Stock Intel cooler is fairly quietCons: - No turbo-boost - Stock Intel cooler has somewhat troublesome plastic push-pin mechanisms that hold the cooler to the motherboard. When installing these I carefully tried to apply the same amount of pressure to each pin, but one pin went in too far and seemed to break pretty easily. I thought I damaged my CPU and motherboard. Luckily I did not, but now that push-pin will not come out. It seems I will probably have to carefully cut the plastic pin off if I ever want to remove the cooler and/or the CPU.I still believe the stock cooler works fairly well as it is quiet and every time I check the BIOS it seems to be keeping the CPU temperature consistently low. The installation issue with the pins could be attributed to me not being careful enough, but I feel the pins are not designed very well and that one of them could have been defective. Regardless of the cooler, the CPU itself deserves at least 4 stars for it's performance even without turbo-boost or overclocking capability.Some of my reasoning for buying this product:Diablo III is finally being released and I was long overdue for a new computer anyways (was running a Pentium 4 with Windows XP Pro...very sad I know). Obviously an i3 (1st or 2nd gen) is a gargantuan leap over the Pentium 4...but some people may not realize that the i3 completely blows the Diablo III minimum CPU specifications out of the water and turns the water into vapor. But still...After purchasing my i3-2120 I started worrying it was already obsolete and maybe I should have sprung for a i5-2500K because of all the overclocking hype. After all, Intel themselves say the i3 is only smart, while the i7 is a genius.How much more performance do you really get from a i5 or i7 quad core processor? Well according to the Windows Experience Index, it might not be as much as you think. After Windows Experience Index scored my i3-2120 at 7.1 (on a scale of 1 - 7.9) I started to really doubt that the i5 or i7 were really worth the cost to performance increase ($100+ extra for .1 - .8 more on the WEI scale). For the time being, the extra cost most likely isn't worth it for most computer users and gamers.Like many other reviews state, most current software, even popular new games like Diablo III (#1 selling game on Amazon, 737 days in Top 100) are really only going to utilize single and/or dual core threading; and if in fact there is more threads needed, the i3 has hyper-threading capability which is described as having two virtual cores running with the two physical cores to enable quad core type threading.When the cost of 2nd generation quad core Intel CPUs goes down and the majority of software being produced actually utilizes quad core CPUs then I will believe they are worth my extra hard earned cash. By then Diablo IV will be out and I will have had AT LEAST a few years of exceptional performance and quality use from a $127 Intel CPU.

中古で買ったPC 快適化計画 その1

以前¥6000くらいで買った中古のLenovo ThinkCentre Edge 72(→ https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/customer-reviews/RHM5FBFYEW1SJ?ref=pf_ov_at_pdctrvw_srp)のCPU換装用に購入しました上記のPC、購入時はCeleron G470が載ってるためにモッサリ具合がどうしようもなかったんですよね詳細は上記リンク先で確認して頂きたくとして…サッサとCPUを交換することにしましたLenovoのページ見たら、換装できそうなCPUの一覧もあったんでソレを参考にしつつ(¥6000の中古PCにあまり金をかけるのも馬鹿らしいので)上限をPC本体価格以下に設定ここでCore i5 or i3に絞られたのでさらに絞り込んだんですが、i5だと購入できるものがSandyBridgeのTDP95W品しかなさげで…マザーボード的にも電源的にも排熱的にも怖い→ i3だとSandyもIvyもベンチスコアあんま変わらん感じだし安い方でいいや→→ んじゃこの\2000以下で買えるやつでいいよねという流れで(失敗してもこの値段ならという思いもあり)i3-2120になりましたその結果、ベンチスコア的には…●CineBench R15(マルチスレッドスコア)・Celeron G470 82cb(あまりにも遅かったのでSingle未計測)・Core i3-2120 285cb(Single 111cb)●WindowsExperienceIndex@Win10・Celeron G470 → Core i3-2120プロセッサ 7.3 → 8.5メモリ 5.9 → 8.5グラフィックス 8.1 → 変わらずプライマリハードディスク 5.9 → 変わらず…と言った感じでかなりの性能アップWEIのスコア見た感じ、メモリの帯域幅が違うのもデカイのかも知れないです(ちなみに、交換前からビデオカードにHD4850を追加してます)ベンチスコアだけでなく…●Windows10の再起動(再起動開始~起動後IME開始まで)に掛かるトータル時間・Celeron G470 約2分20秒・Core i3-2120 約1分20秒と1分ほど短縮されて多少はまともな感じになりました操作全般のレスポンスも向上し、ファイル操作からブラウジングまで快適度が上がりました対して、使用中の温度は(当然ですけど)上がってしまってますCineBenchを回してみると…・Celeron G470(室温20℃)ベンチ開始前 26℃ / ベンチ中最大 33℃・Core i3-2120(室温25℃)ベンチ開始前 37℃ / ベンチ中最大 52℃…になってしまいましたまぁコレに関しては、ThinkCentreのCPUクーラーが冷却能力不足なだけの気もします「古いPCのCPUを替えても無意味なのでは?」とか疑ってたりもしましたが、今は換えてよかったと思いますi3クラスのCPUでも、最底辺最貧弱クラスからの換装なら劇的に変わりますね何世代も前の古いアーキテクチャのCPUなので現行のものと比較するとコアやスレッド数やクロック通りの性能がある気はしませんが、それでもネット見たりする程度なら十分快適ぶっちゃけ、以前はブラウザどころかスタートメニュー開くのすら待たされてましたから…ただ、まだまだサクサクには程遠いので…もうちょっと頑張ってみますw今回のシステム構成Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge72 SmallベースCPU Celeron G470(1C2T 2GHz) & Core i3-2120(2C4T 3.3GHz)マザーボード IH61M(Edge 72のものを流用)メモリ DDR3-1600 2GB x2(Edge 72のものを流用)GPU ASUS EAH4850/HTDI/512M(死蔵品)CPUクーラー 型式不明(Edge 72のものを流用)

Easy choice

Upgraded my wheezing system from a G620 to this 2nd generation i3 and the difference is noticeable. It's not simply a question of the increase in cycle speeds from 2.6 to 3.3GHz (although that's great), but more a question of the significant benefits the replacement brings with regards to hyper-threading, increases in memory bandwidth, better onboard graphics, and a number of critical additions in terms of video encoding and HD delivery. It allows me to do things with my system now that simply were not possible with the G620. It hasn't set the world on fire (that's for sure) but it's a relatively effective upgrade that gives my system a few more years service easily.It's the first CPU upgrade I've performed on an LGA1155 motherboard and I've got to say it is so much easier these days. Clever and effective design. The stock fan is fine and pretty quiet as far as I'm concerned (subjectively). Was particularly happy to find that thermal paste was already applied to the base of the heatsink. I'm not overclocking this system drastically so the standard paste is doing fine. Very quick and easy installation. Given that they're currently up to 4th gen specimens, I think the price is still a little high for these, so I opted for this in preference to paying out more still for marginal improvements in low end 3rd gen contenders.
