Hey guys, Saw this awesome little article on Extreme Tech. Engineers have managed to take an AMD “Trinity” APU and reduced the CPU portion to a pre-fetch/decode unit, while the GPU is used as the main computation unit. This brings massive gains in floating point performance as GPU’s are massively parallel processors. These engineers out [...]

Hey guys. So instead of normal benchmark practice of taking screenshots of benchmark results, I decided I wanted to take videos instead. I did all the following benchmarks on my system with the following specs: i5-2500K @ 5GHz Mushkin Ridgeback 2x2GB 1600MHz 6-8-6-24-1T Ram ASUS P8P67 Vanilla Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit I did [...]
i5 2500K @ 5GHz – 2 Hours Prime 95 Stable

I only really judge stability off of folding lately, as that is the only case when I run full stress all day and all night. So far it is folding stable at these settings for 5GHz. I finally broke this barrier. Seems like my chip is pretty decent. Here is the screenie and a few [...]
i5 2500K Folding @ 4.7GHz

This i5 clocked up to 4.7GHz no problem. My chip yields this speed at a fairly low voltage, allowing me to maintain power efficiency, but make a large gain in speed. Here is a screenshot of my folding with the V7 beta client on my new processor: The processor has been running stable at [...]

Happy holidays everyone! Today I picked up an Intel i5-2500K processor. This is unusual for me, as I have always been a huge AMD fan. I have not used an Intel processor since the days of the Q6600. However, needing to cut back on power usage while increasing performance, I have opted for the sandy [...]

I’ve been using this Dell Optiplex for awhile now. It acts as my spare rig to use while I’m benching my other one, and I also use it for word processing and other simple tasks. I was just looking at the CPU-Z screen out of curiosity today, when I realized that an overclock on this [...]
