ganeshts - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkNot only is AMD late to the party, it is trying to come in after closing time!
With the tablet craze about to take off following the year of the iPad, I am not even sure people want to throw away their money on anything so anaemic and running Windows... Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkBoo! Down with the naysayers! I'm honestly not really interested in tablets. They're fun gadgets to show things to people, but typing on them sucks. Add a separate keyboard, and now you're lugging around a laptop equivalent (that's still slower than any netbook, only with a somewhat optimized OS).
Brazos finally makes netbooks viable as an overall computing platform. 7+ hours of battery life, performance that's substantially better than Atom (particular Atom on its own), and a reasonable cost. Maybe you'll get some decent HTPC setups with Brazos now... though honestly, I think for serious HTPC stuff like you test, you'll need something clocked quite a bit higher than the E-350's 1.6GHz.

StevoLincolnite - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkI concur, I'm not interested in tablets running a mobile OS and ARM either.
I've actually got myself a convertible netbook running Windows 7, I use it more in a laptop mode than a tablet mode.
I've got friends with an iPad and they say crazy things like: "It's changed my life!" (Really? It's just an over-sized iPod.)
The annoying part about Tablets I find is how bloody awkward they are to hold when you are sitting at something like a table where they can't hold themselves up and typing is well... Slow.
I say bring on Fusion, more performance at the low end is a good thing, just wish these manufacturers would start putting decent screens in mobile PC's. Reply

Tablets feel more like amusement devices at the moment. Without a keyboard and your standard applications, you really can't get much "work" done. Reply
Rick83 - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkA 5 inch tablet is so much more carryable and hence useable than a netbook, it's not even funny. The only netbook that really is worth any consideration is the insanely priced sony Z/V/P? series...the one with the 1600x768 screen.
Cheap computing isn't really worth the trouble...
And as long as I need a separate bag to carry my on-the-go computer, it's really a no-go. Reply
Visual - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkEh? A 5 inch tablet is almost insignificantly more usable than my 4 inch phone. It is redundant. Reply
Rick83 - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkActually, 5 inch is quite a bit larger than the 4" phone. It is the largest universally pocketable size I found, and I actually have a non-smart-phone (S40 based) so that some software issue won't shut me out from telephony (bodged firmware update still did exactly that even on the S40....) and so that I wont have to hold a giant screen thing to my ear, and have access to my organizer/internet while on the phone....
Plus, my 5" tablet has suport for keyboard via bluetooth or usb, it has a mini-hdmi output which goes up to 720p, all of which is quite hard to find on a 4" phone.
And the screen surface is almost 50% larger. (20% in the diagonal should be 44% of the area) This makes reading much more comfortable. Also, the relaxed size and lack of 3G allow a higher power envelope for the SoC resulting in better performance. Reply
acsa - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkAmusement? It is very annoying to hold a tablet all the time during playing, movie watching, browsing, reading while sitting on any comfortable furniture. Even a 5 lbs brick on the lap is better. But even for sharing anything with others (also working thogether), while sitting at a desktop, a "standing-up" netbook/notebook is still much more comfortable. Of course, the are specific areas where the interface itself is very useful but at recent stage of software services I don't see many. And partial it is useful for portability if you have a lot of other luggage always carrying with you by foot. But that's again rare. Maybe where lack of cars and public transport is significant ;) Reply
FunBunny2 - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkUntil "pickable" apps are written for tablets, they won't really do much. The issue is whether developers will figure out how to data model "pickable" apps. RDBMS will do that, but most developers aren't smart enough. Reply
Powerlurker - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkThat's probably true, but I don't see how that's too big of a problem. Most consumers don't go home and type reports in their free time. Reply
Dex1701 - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkSo...typing reports is the only advantage a netbook has over current-generation tablets? I can't see how someone could think that's true unless the only thing they use a computing device for outside of work is basic web browsing or MP3 listening. Reply
ganeshts - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkWhat about those tablet-laptop hybrids? For on-the-go computing, I still would like something more powerful than Atom level performance.
From looking at 2 generations of Atom, I think the problem with x86 is that whenever the architects target low power, they reduce the performance so much that is is no longer a good experience with Windows.
The reason I am 'hyping' up tablets is that it gets rid of the Windows OS altogether. (Another reason why I think Windows 7 slates and tablets are going to be DoA). The moment consumers see Windows, they expect a minimum level of performance which is sorely lacking in the Atom class CPUs.
Btw, I would like to get an idea of how much the nettop / netbook market has gone down since the hyped up 2008 days... I don't even see Intel's CedarView getting much coverage now.. It is probably going to be restricted to embedded SKUs. Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkDon't forget that a big problem with Atom netbooks is that the inexpensive models most people purchased only had 1GB RAM, which is simply not enough for Windows 7 (or Vista) -- though it was "okay" in XP netbooks. The HD 6310 is about 10X (20X even) better than the GMA 950/3150 in Atom, and the E-350 is more than twice the speed of single-core Atom (and still 50% faster than dual-core Atom in most cases). Heck, Vivek even has a C-50 model in hand and I played with it briefly yesterday. It certainly felt faster than netbook Atom, even at 1.0GHz (but I'm not sure if it has 1GB or 2GB).
The problem is, in ditching the Windows OS you also ditch all of the applications made for Windows. If you're on a smartphone or tablet, I can understand that. Move to a full laptop, though, and even if netbooks are slow I'd still rather have my standard applications and not dumbed-down (or non-existent) versions. Brazos is really what the second generation of netbooks (after the first Eee PC with the old 600MHz underclocked Celerons) should have been. Atom was a bad design (because of the crippled IGP) from the start, and all it really succeeded in doing is giving a lot of people a really poor impression of netbooks. Reply
Visual - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - link"Windows 7 slates and tablets are going to be DoA"
No they won't. Or rather, weren't. Because they've been out and about for years now, and though not a huge success, they aren't dead either. They've been a niche product because the performance just wasn't there before, and the price was high, but time improves both of those aspects.
Today, finally, a tablet convertible, or maybe even better a pure slate combined with a wireless keyboard with a touchpad can have a great performance and run Windows and all the apps and games for it quite well, at an affordable price. Once such a device is released, it will spell the end of all non-windows "tablets" that can only run cell-phone applets.
Take as an example the HP tm2. Performance wise, it was great for its time: a decent CULV CPU way above anything Atom; a great dedicated graphic card on which I've played WoW and EVE Online and Civ V and whatnot; switchable with the integrated intel crap for great whole-day battery life; both finger and pen-enabled touchscreen by Wacom. It wasn't without disadvantages of course, mainly the terrible screen viewing angles, touchpad buttons and a weight a bit on the high side, at least for holding in one hand in tablet mode. But these could be easily overcome now, all while also improving on the good sides that it had. I can't wait for it's update, it will be a great hit.
I feel windows tablets and slates are up for a good increase in popularity in the next couple years.
You're right for one thing though, I don't mean devices that are using Atom. Not when low-voltage variants of real CPUs are so much better. Reply
Conficio - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkI own a Windows convertable laptop and I tried to use the tablet portion about for two weeks. The most annoying thing? Each orientation change needed to recalibrate the stylus, so switching between laptop mode and tables was a 1 min exercise. Teh second annoyance. The character by character hand writing recognition, did three characters correctly just to fould the eintire word after the forth. And character correction is a pain.
And I also realized that you can't just translate the Winodw smoue oriented UI memes into good tablet UI gestures.
So yes it was dead and I have not heard of any revival of Windows tablet capability. Reply
Dribble - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkHave you actually tried to use windows 7 touch interface? Basically you have to use a pen - it's pretty well unusable with fingers. Even then windows is really designed for mouse+keyboard - anything less and it gets hard to use.
Given a slick designed-from-the-ground-up to support tablets OS/UI that will be these new android/mac tablets there's no comparison. They will both be very easy to use, feel fast and be dead quiet.
The windows ones will feel slow (despite having much more processing power), be much harder to use, and be noisy (tablets with no spinning HD and no fans are just so nice in comparison to even a *quiet* windows box). Reply
jabber - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkSo you want a tablet rather than a netbook but you also want something more powerful than Atom?
Think you need to sit down and think through just what it is you do want. Reply
Visual - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkYou need to stand up and get acquainted with reality. As I posted just above you, a 12" tablet with something more powerful than Atom and even a dedicated graphic card already exists. Meet the year old HP tm2. Reply
nitrousoxide - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkTry get a tablet below USD 500 that can play 1080p video, do word editing, play modern 3D PC games at medium or low settings(but way better than those on an iPad) before saying that netbook is out of the game. Reply
pja - Monday, February 21, 2011 - link"With the tablet craze about to take off following the year of the iPad, I am not even sure people want to throw away their money on anything so anaemic and running Windows..."
Well I for one considered an iPad and perhaps a wait for an Android alternative but when the rational side of my brain took over I found that I could not justify the cost (AUD1,000 + for the 64 Gb iPad with no phone in Australia). Instead I got myself a Toshiba NB550D which is similar to the HP above (Brazos C-50 rather than E-350 and smaller screen but bigger than an iPad).
The Toshiba is half the price, has a similar form factor (when folded), uses the same operating system as my desktop PC _AND_ runs all the same applications as my desktop so the new machine learning curve is NIL!
I'm more than happy with my Windows 7 based anaemic netbook! At least its not just a toy or fashion accessory, it can actually do real work while I'm on the road.

Impulses - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkAt the same time, this is cheaper than many tablets AND far more powerful and capable than just about any tablet... It may be anemic compared to a full fledged laptop, but you can get a lot more done on this than on a tablet. Frankly I think the market for this kinda system is larger than the market for tablets...
IMO, the only people spending $500+ on a tablet are A) wealthy B) people who don't need an actual laptop for work/study C) people who have a big desktop replacement laptop and want something lighter to read, etc. It's just a total luxury item for someone that already has a smartphone and also needs a laptop.
Maybe I'm just blinded by my own usage habits, but I read a lot on my phone, and when I put it down it's because I want an actual keyboard (so I pick up my netbook), or I need an SD card slot or ample storage space, or I need to do stuff only my desktop can do (gaming, video editing/encoding, etc.). So a tablet's value to me would be pretty much limited to the couch, as a replacement for my phone when I'm watching TV, meh. Reply
Powerlurker - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkMost people, especially if they don't have school-age children, don't use their home computer to do "work". They do their work on an employer provided computer at their place of employment. They use their home computer for general web-browsing/media consumption, email/IM/Skype, and casual gaming. Reply
Shadowmaster625 - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkHave you heard of Tiny 7? It is a stripped down windows 7 install that fits on one CD. It uses 145MB of RAM. There are many different groups all simultaneously discovering that win7 need not take up much more space or resources than win xp. The UI can be changed pretty easily also. For example, icons can be blown up really big on Windows 7. It is just a matter of getting x86 tablets out there in quantity for cheap. (ie under $200). Once there is a good base of tablets, there would be a whole bunch of hacking and optimizing going on. The only reason it is not happening is because tablet manufacturers are all hellbent on 200%+ markup. There just is no market for $600-$800 tablets, except for dumb yuppies who all bought ipads already. Reply
Dex1701 - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkNo offense, but a comment like that can only come from someone that values a sexy gee-whiz gadget over an actual portable computing device. Tablets are great fun and have their place, but if you actually want to get something done in an acceptable amount of time they don't work. Tablets = low-powered ultra-portable entertainment devices. They're great for some things, but if you want to be productive (even on a personal pursuit such as an artistic hobby) they're extremely limited even compared to a netbook.
Does it really matter to you that much whether such a device is running MacOS, iOS, Linux, or Windows? Again, a comment like that can only come from someone that's more interested in image than results. Reply
Griswold - Wednesday, February 23, 2011 - linkI think you're late to reality.
Atom based netbooks were useless for most work tasks. Same with pretty much all tablets. They're recreational devices, you cant do any meaningful work with it.
This puppy seems to fill the gap just fine. Reply
Sabresiberian - Sunday, February 27, 2011 - linkTablets are a fad - and talk about anaemic! As soon as people realize how good they look in commercials but how so-so they actually are to use compared to a netbbook or laptop, they'll die out.
I've said it before - give me a tablet with a hard cover to protect the screen and a decent amount of storage, say 300GB. Oh, wait, that's a laptop, never mind. Or, give me a tablet I can stick in my pocket. Oh, that's a smart phone. I guess I didn't want a tablet computer after all.
Something about the tablet reminds me of the Etch A Sketch, not sure what . . .

Gigantopithecus - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkTablets are great for consumption but those of us who produce need a real keyboard, real hard drive, and not to mention, better connectivity than what's offered with the iPad at least.
I'm waiting for the X120e (love the nipp...err, trackpoint), but I expect its performance will be similar.
One question, Dustin - is the mini-PCIe slot mSATA enabled? I.e. does it support Intel's Soda Creek SSDs? Reply
zepi - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkI believe that vast majority of computer users are consumers. Most people don't actively generate new content, they merely consume it.
Thus, for most of the people tablet could very well be The Ideal computer.
I vaguely remember seeing stats that only 10-20% users actively produce content and that the rest of us just read it. I couldn't find it now, but I suppose that Anandtech forums / comments could be used a quick statistics...
I wonder how much pure readers does Anandtech have in comparison to users who actually participate in creation of the content? Though I suppose Anandtech is not the site whose users portray the Average Joe that accurately.
For the entire history of computing, computers have been generated by Creators for Creators. Tablet, feature rich home consoles and internet-enabled televisions might just be a start of an era where most devices are based around consuming content, instead of generating it.
This applies to Jarred's post also. Anandtech Crew is definitely in the subset of creators, which I believe to be a tiny minority of all people. Reply

Halley - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkIn my spare time I enjoy listening to music. Music by youtube - 720 or 1080, please - or by Windows Powerpoint .pps files is better sometimes IMHO. Am I better off with a tablet or with this HP dm1z netbook?
Reading and replying email must be done, too. Without a keyboard, replying would take more time, I guess.
Tablets are definitely more portable. It's nice to have both - tablet and netbook - but tablets are too expensive to me. If I can afford, I would have both. Reply
cyrusfox - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkI second this question, is the other mini-PCIe slot msata compatible? Reply
nitrousoxide - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkI am expecting a Fusion-based netbook with USB 3.0 support, slightly larger screen (12.1 or 13.3 inch) with better display quality and really low noise (as noise is a matter of concern with dm1z), 4GB RAM packed in a form factor lighter than 3.2lbs while charging me no more than USD500. dm1z is not a perfect choice, ASUS 1215B(USB 3.0+overclocking) or MSI U270(USB 3.0) may be better but they are not shipping at this point. One thing I worry about 1215B is upgrade flexibility as 1215N is extremely hard to disassemble so this may be a problem `cuz I want to install an SSD on it. Hope to see more Fusion-based netbook reviews. Reply
Impulses - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkI'm right there with ya... Gimme USB 3.0 plus maybe a slightly larger battery and/or screen and I'm sold, though I'd take 11.6" over 13.3", 12" would be ideal. I don't even care if it's a pain to disassemble, I did it with my 1st gen Acer netbook (to install an X25-V), I don't mind going thru it again if everything else (ports, screen, noise) is ideal. Neither the dm1z (couple of small compromises, and frankly I don't care for the aesthetics) nor the X120 (somewhat overpriced) have struck that perfect balance so until then I'll stick to my current netbook. Reply
QChronoD - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkMaybe I'm not the typical gamer, but I wouldn't even bother trying to play something that only gets 15 or 20fps on the lowest settings. Looking to replace my old 1.2GHz C2D machine and want to be able to game a little when I have an hour or two between classes.
I'm more interested in how it scores on some of the older and less demanding games? I would assume that it can play games from 3-4 years ago much better than the ones that you have benchmarked.
I don't think we'd need exact numbers, but would it be possible to test this level of machine with some older games and just give us a report on whether they ran smoothly at around medium settings? Maybe also test a few of the more demanding flash games, and possibly minecraft. Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkI'm working on it with the MSI X370... you'll notice the last paragraph on the gaming page mentions additional testing. HL2 runs okay, though EP2 starts to get sluggish. Quake 4 is another title that runs fine. I figure anything from before that time will also be good, so maybe grab the original Deus Ex (with the enhancement mod) while you're at it. :-) Reply

Powerlurker - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkIf you're a gamer, you probably wouldn't be looking at a netbook in the first place. The extra graphics horsepower in Brazos is mostly intended for things like video decoding and Flash acceleration. Reply
MonkeyPaw - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkI looked at this very netbook at a local store, and I saw that it came with 71 services running from the factory. It's such a disservice what OEMs do to machines. I can't imagine any machine would feel responsive with that much running in the background. Though I am impressed with the 7200rpm drive on a netbook.
Did you do a clean install for your tests? Reply

shtldr - Wednesday, February 23, 2011 - linkI have an ACER laptop with Win 7 Home Premium x64 OEM and I was able to swap out the drive for an SSD, then re-install the system (from a retail DVD I also own) using the key from the laptop chassis.
The only pain was - I had to dial some MS phone number and dial in some numbers using the phone's keypad, then hear and write some numbers back to the activation window.
After doing this, the clean install of Windows reported it was genuine. Reply

JarredWalton - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkYes. We test with WiFi, not off of wired Ethernet. We repeatedly load four tabs in IE8 (AnandTech's old home page, MSN.com, Yahoo.com, and my Facebook page). All are saved versions stored on the AT web server, so they always appear the same, complete with Flash advertisements. IE8 is set to clear Temp files on exit, so the pages actually reload over WiFi each cycle of the test. Outside of video playback in YouTube, this is about as stressful as Internet surfing gets in my experience. Reply
Stuka87 - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkA net book that I can actually tell people "Yes you can get this model, and it wont be horrible!"
This is actually a machine I would consider for myself if I didn't already have a MacBook and a Precision M4500. I just can't justify a third mobile machine when the MacBook handles the mobile side well, and the Precision handles the heavy work. Reply
screamlordbyron - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkI've had one of these puppies for three weeks now. I've got to say that calling the dm1z a netbook does it s disservice. It certainly is not mobile gaming rig, but for business productivity, it is a fantastic subnote.
I use it for word processing, excel, web research, light graphics editing, remote desktop, etc. No stutters, good battery life, good (albeit not excellent) screen, decent track pad, excellent keyboard.
For anyone but a gamer or graphic artist, who wants a small, light, affordable subnote, this thing is the bomb! :) Reply

AMD might be late, but remember being late is better then not showing to the fight at all.. Also there is still a demanding market out-there that i do not think AMD would be hurt that much. It'd be nice to see a USB 3.0, but at this price level and platform, it seems like a luxury addition. I would rather see more USB ports though..

JumpingJack - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkI thought netbooks were considered to be screen sizes 10 inches or less, this is a bit large to be a 'netbook'. Reply
strikeback03 - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - link"Netbook" seems to be as much in relation to performance as size. There are 12 inch units that can't be considered anything but netbooks given that they use the same internals, just a little larger. So basically if you are looking at an 11.6" screen and Atom, it is a netbook. If it is an 11.6" screen and a C2D, not a netbook. Reply
mgl888 - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkThanks! Been waiting for this one to get reviewed!
Can't wait for mine to arrive. I can tuck away my N270 Atom. w00t! Reply
AmdInside - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkAt this point in time, I would only be interested in this netbook if I was a college student and couldn't afford a notebook or if I was just too poor to afford a notebook but needed a portable PC for some reason. The netbook craze has died since the iPad. I tried to like netbooks last year but either they were too expensive (and thus approaching notebook pricing) or just too limited. The iPad fill the void I had with a netbook. I just have no desire for this or any other netbook. Reply
mgl888 - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkIt really depends on what you use the device for.
For me, an ultraportable (not an iPad) like this fills the gap between my desktop and my smartphone. There's no point for me to get a tablet because an Android tablet/iPad would simply be a repeat of everything I can already do with my phone on the go.
I would not choose a 14"+ notebook because it's just too bulky to carry around and the battery life is usually not as great. I've tried Atoms, but yes they are too slow for my taste. Fusion, on the other hand, fits my taste almost perfectly.
It would be nice to have better CPU performance and perhaps a slightly larger screen, but this is as close as it gets right now. Perhaps Llano will strike on target? Reply

Aone - Monday, February 21, 2011 - linkI would appreciate if the auther have used the proper terms.
Netbook, as it was introduced by Intel, is 10" box. HP DM1z has 11.6 screen and that is the big difference.
If AT wants to compare AMD's offering with Intel's one in proper manner i.e. in netbook space he should take C-50 but not E-350. Do it and you feel the big difference! Reply
cyrusfox - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkMarkets change and so do terms, Intel didn't create the term by the way. Been around before atom or Asus. They gained the most recognition through the intriguing asus eee 700 and its successors.
See wiki excerpts below:
"The generic use of the term "netbook", however, began in 2007 when Asus unveiled the ASUS Eee PC. Originally designed for emerging markets, the 23 × 17 cm (9.1 × 6.7 in) device weighed about 0.9 kg (2 lb) and featured a 7 in (18 cm) display, a keyboard approximately 85% the size of a normal keyboard, a solid-state drive and a custom version of Linux with a simplified user interface geared towards netbook use."
"In the short period since their appearance, netbooks have grown in size and features, now converging with new smaller, lighter notebooks. By August 2009, when comparing a Dell netbook to a Dell notebook, CNET called netbooks "nothing more than smaller, cheaper notebooks," noting, "the specs are so similar that the average shopper would likely be confused as to why one is better than the other," and "the only conclusion is that there really is no distinction between the devices.""
So you can be like engadget and others and call it a notbook if you choose, everything a netbook should be(peppy/versatile with the battery life and size of a netbook). Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - link11.6" is close enough to netbook size that I have no issues calling it a netbook. I typically call 11.6" to 13.3" ultraportable, 10.1" and smaller netbook, 14-15.6" laptop, and 16" and larger notebook. However, notebook and laptop are almost terms that reflect the entire category of mobile computer, and netbook can just as easily mean "slower, smaller, and with good battery life" as it can "less than 10 inches".

The Crying Man - Wednesday, February 23, 2011 - linkI thought 10" and under was a Microsoft restriction with regards to which edition of Windows OEMs could install. In the case of netbooks, they could only install Starter. Which is why I think HP, in another review, insisted that this isn't a netbook. Reply

It came with a atom 280 1.66 ghz processor, 160 gig hard drive, intel onboard graphics and 1 gig of ram for about $380. It had a 10.1 inch 1024x600 screen and bluetooth. My compliants were many and I tried to warn her it would feel slugish after loading xp, antivirus, itunes, and whatever else she found to install. It will now serve as my bitorrent client machine because thats all its really good for, or watching whenever I find myself on a plane.
1. Screen does not quite fit an entirew webpage so I have to scroll = wasted time
2. No gaming ability what so ever
3. Lack of flash support
4. Sluggish windows performance once you get a few programs running
This system blows it away in every aspect. Battery life is almost as good,
1. duel core processor that is 50 percent faster per core.
2. twice as much ram or triple as HP has offered
3. Modern windows OS
4. twice the hard drive space and not 5400 rpm
5. flash card reader built in
6. The screen is over an inch and a half larger with enough pixes to fit an entire web page
7. full size keyboard
8. Easy access to inner parts for do it yourself upgrades (RAM, Hard Drive)
All in all this is a hell of a improvement. If I were in the market to buy a computer for mobile use right now I'd buy this in a heartbeat. I can't wait till they go to 2nd generation and upgrade the processor speed to at least 2 ghz and incrementally improve the graphics and add USB 3. Did I mention bluetooth 3.0? I may even suggest the Army take a look at these systems for the SIPR machines (Secret) since we are not allowed to use uptical drives on those systems anyway. MIght as well remove them and have admins have some externals handy for a case by case need. Reply
duploxxx - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkwell at least it is available now in some EU parts.
large consumer electronic vendors offer now the dm1z with 3gb ram and 320gb hd for approx 380eur, not that bad at all. Reply
Arnulf - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - link"Jarred's working on some additional gaming tests for his E-350 review"
Once again I implore you to run some older game titles (from 2005 or thereabouts) that Fusion should be able to run at satisfactory FPS rates. Pick the titles that you used as your benchmarks back then so that your readers can see what's actually playable on Fusion platform.
Sub 20 FPS scores in modern games mean nothing (except to masochists perhaps), you've made it clear Fusion is incapable of running any modern game so please take some more time to show us what it *CAN* run. Reply
Shadowmaster625 - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkAnd dont forget League of Legends. (max settings) Reply
pafnucy - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkI have waited for Anand's review of dm1z with anticipation. I am quite disappointed, honestly.
1. dm1z ships with HP CoolSense application for balancing noise vs temperature of the system. By wiping the HDD clean and then complaining about the fan noise the reviewer not only displays laziness but also disinforms the readers.
2. Other websites mentioned that the HDD performance is underwhelming. Here, the reviewer instead of running e.g HD Tune for 5 minutes just assumes that it's fast because it ships with a fast drive. For an entirely new platform, especially one that cuts corners to achieve low power consumption, it seems crucial to be wary of potential performance problems.
3. The entire review doesn't even mention sound quality. Are the Lantec speakers any good? What about the audio chip? Is it a part of the platform or something entirely different? 92HD81B1X does not tell me anything at all.
4. The whole point of Fusion on netbooks was to provide a way of using GPU cores to accelerate certain applications and not to play games. And there are more and more application capable of taking advantage of that. What about testing for example Firefox 4 beta (http://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/09/hardware-accelera... CPU usage numbers when video (flash or h264) is played wouldn't hurt either. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkSorry, but several of your points are not accurate. We do not generally do clean installs on laptops; we uninstall useless programs (you know: McAfee, Norton, TrendMicro, and the various tools that don't do anything other than delay the boot speed and pop up at annoying times). The default install was tested, but probably without the HP Support Assistant active (I find that "tool" rather annoying, just like the Lenovo, Dell, etc. equivalents). It was found to be somewhat noisy compared to other laptops, but I've asked Dustin to check results for temps/noise with CoolSense active.
As for the HDD, sure, a WD Black is underwhelming relative to SSDs, but compared to the 160GB and 250GB 5400RPM drives found in most netbooks, I can guarantee it does better. HD Tune is a nice synthetic test of HDD performance, but it's not going to cover everything. Finally, this is our first Fusion laptop, and we're working on reviews of others; I'll take a look at some of the other elements you mention in point four in the future. But I can say that 720p Flash video works fine (I haven't checked 1080p yet).
Dustin will have to respond to the sound comment, but if it's like other laptops I've used I expect it is at best serviceable. Anyway, thanks for the feedback; I wish HP would have put the CoolSense into the BIOS rather than in a separate software tool. Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkUnfortunately I no longer have the unit on hand as I had to send it back.
That said, the sound quality seemed pretty decent but you have to remember these are laptop speakers: if speaker quality isn't explicitly stated it's reasonable to assume it's the same middling laptop audio we've come to know and tolerate.
If other websites are underwhelmed by HDD performance, I honestly don't know what would placate them other than an SSD. As far as mechanical drives go, the Scorpio Black is among the fastest. I actually did do some testing on a clean install of Windows and I was amazed at just how snappy the dm1z actually was. Reply
chiadog - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkSo the netbook we've been waiting for is too thick, too heavy, and too slow. No thanks. I like the old HP mini's more than this. I rather carry a real notebook at this weight than a half neutered computer. Reply
Shadowmaster625 - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkThere was a 200 post thread on slickdeals that showed how you could get this notebook for around $400. Some people were even getting it under $400. I dont know if you still can though. Reply
Wieland - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkIt's definitely not available anymore, but I was lucky enough to jump on while it lasted. I got one for $352.99 including taxes and shipping after cashback with no payments due for six months through BillMeLater. I finally have a replacment for my Travelmate 8006lmi. Reply

MrVeedo - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linki thought i read the dm1z was shipping with ddr3 1066 memory? does the platform indeed run at 1333? Reply
xavier78 - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkHP lists the webcam as VGA, not 1.3MP. Do they now offer that as an option to upgrade? Reply
Quixote One - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkI agree that the new Brazos version of the dm1z is a slick little machine. The deal-breaker for me is the lack of the most current, higher-speed data-transfer interfaces -- an especially egregious omission in a netbook/"notbook"-class machine without an on-board optical drive. Other machines in this class have had either USB 3.0 or eSATA ports (and often both) for a year or more now as pretty standard features.
If HP rolls out a follow-up model at around the same price point with at least one or the other (and hopefully, a less dismal screen), I'm there in a heartbeat. Reply
darkhawkff - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkI think you're seriously mistaken on many comments here. I don't see this AMD Brazos platform as being any better than what's been out for a year plus.
HP Mini 311 does as well as this netbook does, and it's been out for well over 1.5 years now. How is this a step up?
Just a word of advice, look at the whole netbook scene before making an article. Even the Asus 1215N is similar in performance in most respects. There again, how is this giving people the 'netbook they've been waiting for'? It isn't. It's a side grade from AMD, if you don't like the evil powers of Intel/NVidia.
Plain and simple, stop leaning towards AMD. The only real advantage I see, is the price. It's probably a little bit cheaper than the Intel/NVidia solution, which you barely make mention of.
Overall, I see this article as a "Look what AMD did! You should buy it!", when comparable performing machines have been around for quite a while (my Mini 311 cost $700 1.5 years ago....when this was cutting edge). Reply
Taft12 - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkThe last bit you said in brackets is why this is a notable machine. Netbook performance that cost $700 just 18 months ago is now $449 (or ~$400 on some slickdeals post) thanks to integrating all the discrete components that were needed on that platform (CPU/northbridge/southbridge/PCIE bus/graphics chip). Battery life also benefits greatly from this as you would expect
Apparently the netbook segment isn't as slow-moving as everyone thought! Reply
darkhawkff - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkI think you missed the point. We could do this 18 months ago, and still achieve the same relative performance. Yes, it cost more 18 months ago, but that's how technology works. As time progresses, prices decrease for the same performance. The idea though, was that Fusion would be a big increase in netbook performance. So, where's my increase? It's not there, and thats the point. This article made it seem like this was an increase compared to whats out there. It's not, which is my point. Another thing of note, Ion is based on the 9000 series NVidia chips, so Fusion (ie 5400 series product) is only comparable to a 4 generation old competitor? As I said, the article makes this sound as if it's a new and exciting product. It's new, but it's not exciting, and it doesn't increase performance. The only thing this has going for it, is price. If NVidia could put a chipset out for Ion, this would be irrelevant when it comes to 'netbook performance'. Plain and simple. Reply
joe4324 - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkits not cheaper even, ION on a 11.6" screen was $399 16 months ago... This is coming out at the same price I thought? Reply
balancedthinking - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkfirst of all, the mini 311 has only an N270
the E-350 has more than twice the cpu power (cinebench etc.) and it was a hassle to work with an N270, an E-350 works almost like a normal laptop, office etc. quick and responsive. Multitasking, no problem.
Thats a huge difference and it does so with higher battery life and a lower price.
So what is so special about brazos? It beats hands down everything Intel/Nvidia have to offer right now in this mobile market space and that is a 1st for AMD.
Better performance, geat battery life and great price. Ther is no point in buying an atom anymore. Reply
joe4324 - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkThis even looks just like my HP Mini 311, Infact I bet its the same Chassis at least. I love seeing this ultra-portable market advance but HP really turned me sour and I will steer clear of them forever at any price point.
If this machine suffers from the same flaws my Mini 311 did please be warned!
HP refused to service mine in anyway 72 days after warranty despite it basically falling apart. I paid $500 for my Mini 311. To keep yourself from falling into the same boat as me watch out for this:
1) Fan if the fan makes *any* weird noise at all even once, And or it runs continuously have it serviced or at least file a request. My fan started to die in less than a year but I limped along just past my warranty date then it completely died. I can find no replacement for less than an $65...
2) My speakers quit a couple weeks after the warranty, The audio jack works but not the speakers.
3) Check the temp sensor in the Bios, Mine had a bad habit of turning back on, or continuing to run when I thought it was in standby and if I was not diligent it would have overheated inside of backpacks cases etc.
I work in computer repair and I feel like I'm one of the best people to get stiffed with a dying computer as I have a lot of resources to fix it, but even then I feel like I am out almost $500 and HP showed zero signs of desire to help me out.
Unless they make it right I'm going to continue advocating a different brand. I see HP Dv6000's come into my work everyday with similar problems. I think HP is the most repaired/Dead laptops we see. Sony/IBM being the best. This is just a observation. Reply
joe4324 - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkI forgot to mention, in 15 months my batter life went from 4.5 hours to 20 minutes also... Reply
tammlam - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkI bought one of these for my wife and everything was going well for the first 3 weeks until this past weekend. Turned it on and all we got was a bunch of distorted, horizontal lines. The screen periodically went dark as well. Once in a while, it clears up and the screen looks normal but this didn't last long. Now it is waiting to be picked up for repair and hopefully everything will work the way it should.
Besides this glitch, it is a very nice notebook and I removed most of the preloaded programs. Got it down to 50 processes. Reply
AlohaMike - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkOnce again I am disappointed in HP. I keep WANTING to buy an HP and they keep forgetting to put a HOME and an END key on their netbooks. So I bought an Acer from Costco. Nothing fancy but I can type with it. Reply

Game. Set. Match. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkFunny thing is that I even reviewed something like that:
$2000 ($2600 with a 1st-gen SSD) and you were still saddled with Intel's GMA X3100. Look at the performance scores in 3DMark03-06 and PCMark05; heck, it even has Cinebench 10 results in there. So today you get roughly the same performance as the old Core 2 Duo U7500, with six times the graphics performance, and about twice the relative battery life, all for one-fifth the price. That's a pretty good advancement for only three years! Reply
swaaye - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkI think that in a 11.6" form factor you can do better. With this thing you're plunking down a good amount of money for some very basic performance. and GMA X3100 is not that much of an issue for most people. But if price is all that matters, sure this is a decent choice I suppose.
I'd rather see Brazos used in a 9" netbook, myself. Really take advantage of its low power consumption and heat output. Reply
Penti - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkYou can, but not for 449 USD. Rember Atom netbooks costs as much if not more when they come with W7HP and Crystal HD accelerator. Especially if you want a bigger battery then some anemic 3-cell. There's even no need to special order this (bto). If you go down to ridiculous small batteries, there's literally not much of a point of it. If you want something like a ULV or normal Core i5 in it you will have to pay 250 USD just for the CPU, add 40 USD for chipset. Add in TFT-panel, motherboard pcb and associated components, wireless, hdd, battery, keyboard, touchpad, memory and case(charger etc) and it's already at about 750 for the cheapest possible configuration. Probably 800 in real world. I.e another product. Built in support for basics (today) such as H.264 and H.264 flash video acceleration is key here. Not that you almost can game on it. It replaces the dualcore higher end atom netbooks and makes them obsolete. With this setup your high-def online videos works, no matter if it's flash or netflix Sliverlight. Not so much on netbooks with atom, even with the Crystal HD accelerator. Adobe has real problems with those kinds of platforms till they have moved over to a real video oriented workflow like they are trying to do with stage video api. It solves todays needs.
Hell it's even fast enough to do high res software decoded H.264 with CoreAVC. It's pretty important because you can't always muck about and reencode files and reencoding files takes a long time.
This is about filling and meeting the needs of the low-end. AMD can keep TSMC busy with these I suppose. Reply
swaaye - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkI just dumped a HP 12.1" from 2009 which had a Turion Neo X2 1.6 GHz (faster than Brazos) with a discrete Radeon 3450. The Turion was not exactly snappy and the 3450 was pretty sad overall. It was passable yes, but not really impressive. I got it as a factory refurb for $450 but they retailed for around $800. Reply
silverblue - Wednesday, February 23, 2011 - linkThere's a couple of differences. Brazos supports more instruction sets as well as a faster IMC (albeit single channel). The performance difference should be slight, if anything. Reply
swaaye - Wednesday, February 23, 2011 - linkAccording to another look at Brazos here on Anandtech, an Athlon 64 X2 at 1.5 GHz can be over 20% faster per clock in some applications. That's not slight. Sometimes they are similar, but then other times you see 20% slower which is quite ugly. A 1.5 GHz Athlon 64 X2 is already very slow. Reply
swaaye - Wednesday, February 23, 2011 - linkI shouldn't have said per clock. The comparison was an Athlon 64 X2 1.5 GHz vs. Brazos 1.6 GHz. Reply
fshaharyar - Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - linkThe build up to the fusion was very good. But I'd like to say they late by 6 months to the party.
If they had intrudoced this product to the market 6 months back it would have stolen the Intel thunder and their would have been a huge shakeup in the netbook market.
But still not taking anything away from their success we will see better alternatives in the mobile market with this teck piece.
AMD will have ensure that they refresh there current gen proc. every 8-9 months.
with regards to their GPU refresh as well as plan their CPU strategy. Reply

The Crying Man - Wednesday, February 23, 2011 - linkI read somewhere that the only reason you'd get the x120e is for the matte screen, nipple mouse, and overall look since it runs warmer and has a slightly lower battery life compared to the dm1z. Reply
nitrousoxide - Wednesday, February 23, 2011 - linkWhenever there is an article about Fusion APUs and praising how great it is, Intel fanboys begin to compare it to CULV, and Apple fanboys stand out to say netbook is out of the game and iPad saves the world. Reply
swaaye - Thursday, February 24, 2011 - linkWhat do you compare it to? You make it sound like it shouldn't be compared to the competition. And, perhaps this hasn't occurred to you yet, but everyone has different preferences. Reply
Wieland - Friday, February 25, 2011 - linkI find passive aggressive comments like nitrousoxide's just as annoying as the comparisons he mentions, but the issue is that the CULV laptops and iPads aren't the competition of this laptop at all. The cheapest CULV laptops are still quite a bit more expensive than the dm1z, and models with similar fit and finish are around twice the price. The iPad is completely different in form and function.
It's apparent from nitrousoxide's comment that he understands that people have different preferences. The question is why does everyone feel the need to shout their personal preferences to the world.

blueboy11 - Sunday, November 06, 2011 - linkThis netbook is the ideal area where it needs to be before Llano makes it debut. Seeing that I only use a computer nowadays for viewing podcast videos in Google Reader along with a little of Youtube, and connect the HDMI on my 32 inch tv, this would be ideal for me. I rarely use my DVD-RW drive, and ironically use more USB sticks for temporary storage, although I could use a 1TB external drive as well for music, videos, etc. I'm not saying this is the netbook king by any means, but a step ahead in the right direction for people who don't need all the flashy features that a laptop offers nowadays. Just my 2 cents on the subject at hand. Thanks for the review Anand, cause this netbook I'll be getting in the nearby future for sure. Reply

How Should Old Climbers Train?
As a subscriber and a 48-year-"old" climber, I would like to know how the old, good climbers train. Have any articles been written on this? How do 55-year-olds train to climb 5.14 and 60-year-olds climb 5.13? I was climbing 5.12c and getting better every year until major shoulder surgery a few months ago. Now, as I resume climbing, I am reevaluating how I approach my training.
I don't know of any articles on this subject, but great idea! Let's see if the editors can get one cranked up for the next issue, which just happens to be all about health and training.
You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned that you are recovering from shoulder surgery. The key to climbing hard once you become geriatric is minimizing injuries. When you were 20 you could re-grow an arm overnight, but now that you are a creaking old fart, minor injuries will plague you to the graveyard. Avoid them. Train hard, but modulate and stop before you blow a cable or twang something even more complicated. Knowing when to stop is the tricky part, as your natural inclination is to go to or past failure. When I was 38 I blew out my shoulder and it took two years to get it back. My climbing never fully recovered because I dove back in too fast and furiously, and kept getting hurt and having to recover. It's a vicious cycle, just like being fat then dieting then bingeing and getting fat again.
For the training itself, I recommend yoga and lifting weights. Both will strengthen your entire body, making you less likely to overdo and injure any particular anatomy. Lay off the crippling exercises like campusing and pull-ups, and instead get on an indoor wall and run moderate laps to keep everything oiled. You may have noticed that as you got older, you powered down but your endurance is up. Use that metamorphosis to kick the snot out of those 40-year-old brats. Gear Guy has spoken!

Redken All-Soft Conditioner
Redken All Soft Conditioner is perfect for dry, brittle, wiry, coarse and curly hair. With avocado oil, proteins and amino acids to smooth, condition and seal in moisture even the most thirsty dry curly hair will come out soft. As naturally curly hair is by its nature constantly dehydrated, this conditioner does exactly what it promises! It detangles, nourishes, smooths, hydrates and gets rid of frizz for even the most difficult hair. A small dab also doubles as an excellent leave-in conditioner for thick curly hair. Around $16

Jury selection in the trial for the May shooting deaths of Sarah M Lovato, then 17 and pregnant, and her father, Bennie Ray Lovato, Sr., begins Feb. 9, 2010. But the murder trial of young Lovato's boyfriend, security guard Marino K "Reno" Leyba, won't begin until June.
Last month, attorneys on both sides of the case filed witness and evidence lists. Prosecutors will introduce a two-page letter from Sarah Lovato. Sources tell SFR Lovato was planning, out of fear, to leave Leyba, who, records show, grew up in an abusive family.
The defense witness list includes nearly every police officer who ever responded to a call involving Leyba or his father, Marino M Leyba, who brought his son into the security business. There were many calls.
It is a textbook case of domestic violence: Not only in terms of how it can pass through generations, but how abuse can escalate when the problem goes ignored.
Carol Horwitz, the city's domestic and sexual violence liaison, made a shrine for the victims at a town hall meeting in October. Looking back, she recalls how the year brought a wave of terrifying domestic violence crimes.
"We had Lovato. We also had the woman whose boyfriend put a gun to her head and put a hole in her brain. That was in December [2008]…Then we had the boiling water incident. Then we had the woman who was so badly beaten she was taken to the hospital, and [her boyfriend] got probation," Horwitz tells SFR. "There's been lots of strangulations—probably more than 100 attempted murders [by choking]. Then there were literally hundreds of 911 calls where there's an argument, and it almost always has to do with money."
The wave did not discriminate: It hit Santa Fe's low-lying trailer parks and its tranquil-seeming hillside estates. In its ongoing coverage, SFR found that local police failed to protect victims and pursue abusers, neglecting their responsibilities under federal law, while courts proved ill-equipped to deal with the complexities of family violence and abuse [click HERE for our extensive coverage throughout 2009].
Fortunately, the problems got noticed. In an interview with SFR, US Rep. Ben Ray Luján, D-NM, fresh from a trip to Afghanistan, volunteered that women there face some of the same pressures as women here. At the national level, the plight of women was identified as a root cause of global ills, from poverty to dictatorship. In a new book, Half The Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, authors Nicholas D Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn report the existence of 100 million "missing" women worldwide, many murdered by possessive men.
What is at stake, besides life and death? Domestic violence threatens the prosperity of all, New York lawyer and DV expert Barry Goldstein says.
"If you look at statistics of prison inmates, the vast majority grew up in homes where there was domestic violence or child abuse or both," Goldstein tells SFR. "Think about women whose partners are abusing them: They're not going to reach their potential." Neither, he says, will their children or the abusers themselves.
"You can calculate what that does to our economy, to the well-being of people," Goldstein says. "The harm is enormous. And to let it continue in other people's lives when we know how to stop it is an outrage."
A few local elected leaders have begun to address the problem. And President Obama appointed former New Mexico Coalition Against Domestic Violence Executive Director Lynn Rosenthal as the nation's first domestic violence czar.
Change will likely take generations. That is one long-term goal of the Reel Fathers project, founded by local filmmaker Deborah Boldt and Allan Shedlin, a retired educator in Maryland. The project brings fathers and their children together for a short film, followed by a soul-baring discussion led by Santa Fe "spiritual coach" Don McAvinchey.
"There were a few dads at the last event who'd been abused severely. They just decided, 'I was not going to be like my dad,'" McAvinchey says. "One dad said instead of whipping his children, he wants to talk to his children."
It's a start. In the meantime, the Esperanza Shelter for Battered Families faces a budget that precludes its expansion, even though, according to figures provided by Executive Director Sherry Taylor, the shelter took in nearly twice as many adult victims this year as in 2008. What's ahead for 2010?
"I expect to see a drop in funding," Taylor says. "I don't see the need decreasing at all."

The PBS series Craft in America is on
I know this has been mentioned before but The current episode is called crossroads and covers 3 potters and really hit the nail on the head for me on the influence that Hamada and Leach on functional ceramics in America. I suggest if you can to catch it. Warren MacKenzie is great as well as the others explaining the history.

I did happen to watch American Craft with the Leach potters I was hypnotized by the interviews, the whole program was quite good. One comment that Warren MacKenzie made was that it took them 3 years after they came back home to do their own work. They were so immersed in making Leach's work it was hard to break out, I felt the same way when I graduated from college. After so many years of being told what to make and which direction to go I didn't know which direction to go when I got out for a couple of years. Denice

extide - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkThat's a nice lookin heatsink, what cpu does that come on? Reply
Kristian Vättö - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkIt's a separately sold heatsink, unfortunately. Part number is E88216-001 and seems to go for around $40. Reply
Metaluna - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkAlso, it looks like a bolt-through mount (i.e. no pushpins). All the companies like Scythe who have produced giant tower heatsinks with plastic pushpins take note. Reply
IntelUser2000 - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkMy friend that got a i7 970 got it with the CPU purchase. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkThat specific model in the picture is only sold separately as it's for LGA 1156/1155. Your friend most likely has E75476-001, which is the stock cooler for LGA 1366 CPUs released after i7-980X (it was the first one to get it). They look almost identical though, only the motherboard connectors are a bit different :-) Reply
Rick83 - Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - linkHaving installed a bunch of Scythe coolers which use pushpins, I've never had a problem with them, and installation has usually been quite simple.
Don't see the reason for the complaints - unless you live a in a region prone to earthquakes. Reply
Taft12 - Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - linkEver installed a plastic pushpin cooler multiple times?
(It's a trick question, the plastic will break, stretch or twist before you get the chance) Reply
extide - Thursday, February 02, 2012 - linkThose plastic pushpins arent that hard to deal with, if you know what you are doing you can easily install and uninstall one several times. However holding a large and heavy heatsink I would prefer metal, but honestly I dont get why everyone has such a hard time with the plastic push pin mounts. Reply
Piano Man - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkIt'll be interesting to see if this 2550K is a special bin that will allow for higher OCs over the 2500k. Reply
Mr Perfect - Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - linkMeh. I'm betting that Kristian is right, this is merely the We-Have-2500Ks-With-Dead-Graphics bin. Reply
Olbi - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkthis Celerons are very expensive. It costs for ours paid 3.55 times more, where avarage man get for hand only 1200 zł , which in dollars is ~399$. I hate my GOV for this shit, what they do now. Reply
DanNeely - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkThey're laptop celerons; a category that's always been significantly more pricey than its desktop equivalents. Reply
SlyNine - Wednesday, February 01, 2012 - linkI've downloaded some decrypting software to try and decrypt your message. As soon as, or if, my computer can decrypt your message I'll have a response. Reply
r3loaded - Monday, January 30, 2012 - link"The 100MHz increase in frequency isn't worth the loss of the IGP" - it certainly is if you're packing a discrete graphics card. And if you're interested in an unlocked multiplier, chances are high that you will have a discrete card anyway. If these chips are binned higher too, enthusiasts will certainly flock to them. Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkOur point is that you can use Quick Sync and the IGP with Z68 motherboards, so even if you have a discrete GPU you can still benefit from the IGP. Reply
A5 - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkDo any of the open source encoders support Quick Sync yet? And is the quality still bad? Reply
Senti - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkWhat is the real use of Quick Sync? It's pure marketing hype. Any sane encoder would prefer quality of x264 over some fps. Add there Hi10P and most hardware encoders/decoders immediately becomes completely useless. Reply
Iketh - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkyup
I don't understand why quicksync is regarded so highly here. I push it aside as hype, as you said. I'll never use it. x264 all the way. Reply
JonnyDough - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkWithout an IGP it shouldn't get as hot, allowing for that measley 100mhz bump. I would guess these might make some very nice overclockers... Reply
MrSpadge - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkNah, they're not that close to the limit, yet, that a few W from the IGP matter.
And sure they're good overclockers.. as are the 2500K. Reply
MrSpadge - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkI wouldn't buy or recommend a Sandy without the IGP. Even with a discrete GPU it's going to be used for a few years and then passed on to someone else, where it will very probably do some surfing & office work. And guess what's the most power efficient, yet completely sufficient GPU for this situation? Reply
Midwayman - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkThe nice thing is that the IGP is entirely sufficient to turn the box into a media server. Plus its nearly silent when running. Great 2nd life for the computer. I have an old c2d pulling that duty now and I know my i7-2600k will be headed that way a few years down the line. Reply
jak3676 - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkPerfect for those of us with P67 mobo's who would never notice the lack of IGP anyway. If you're using a larger SSD for boot + application drive, I don't see the benifit from the caching on the Z68 - may as well get the 2550k and a P67 and save a few dollars.
If you're going Z68, you'd probably still want the 2500k though. Reply
bupkus - Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - linkAbsolutely agree. I've sold several of my older computers which I specifically selected for on board graphics while still retaining my ATI HD 4850 to this day.
It's a great way to sell/give older tech to friends that can't or don't need new hardware. Reply
Mr Perfect - Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - linkGood point. I'd love to give away my last tower, but took the video card to the new build. Since it doesn't have an IGP, I would have to buy a card just to make it giftable. >_> That was four months ago...
IGP is also great when you're trying to diagnose a discreet card. Or, worse yet, when you have to RMA one. You at least have something to fall back on. Reply
Shadowmaster625 - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkDoes anyone even know of a product that uses any of these 8xx or 7xx celerons? It seems like a phantom chip. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkThere are a few in NewEgg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Sub... Reply
Natfly - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkDo you happen to know what stepping/revision these are? Reply
Kristian Vättö - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkSame D2 as other desktop Core i5 parts. Reply
ckryan - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkThe 2550K is kinda odd. I didn't want the IGP in my 2500k, but it came in handy on occasion. Doesn't the 2500K's Xeon cousin lack the IGP as well? I don't think the 1155 Xeons have a disabled IGP, it's just not there. I'm not sure what the advantage would be, as I would think the number of K parts with defective IGPs is very miniscule. And if you really don't want the IGP, just get a P67 board. Most P67 boards are more power efficient than Z boards anyway. The IGP only consumes a tiny amount of power when used in a Z system with discrete graphics anyway, and I don't think it's going to keep anyone from shattering any OC records.
The SB Celeron is no joke. I have one in a low power SSD testing rig that is always on. The G530 is very competent, and the IGP is sufficient to adequately tackle the few acceleration tasks asked of it. Plus, if you use an H67 board instead of the H61, you get the platform advantages in a low power, quiet, and well behaved system. Resist the temptation of the single core Celeron 4xx series. It actually uses more power since it doesn't ever downclock or reduce voltage. I know some single cores for low power systems -- but it doesn't make any sense. Even at above MSRP pricing, those who can use the G530 will find the price worth it. Reply
MrSparkle404 - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkSNB Xeons, if it ends in a 5, IGP is enabled, 0, disabled. Ark.intel is your friend.
E3-1235 : 4 cores, HT, IGP
E3-1230 : 4 cores, HT, no IGP Reply
Taft12 - Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - linkIntel: Industry leader in incongruous product naming conventions! Reply
Emulex - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linknoticed the celeron dual core was $34.99 and $49 for z68 mobo at microcenter. the passmark on the celeron indicated it was as fast as the phenom quad core (older) or a c2d 3.0ghz.
I think someone has their numbers messed up because the older celeron dual core lga1155 had a msrp of $45 on intel's site.
celeron = 1mb cache
pentium = 2mb cache
core = 3/4/6/8. cache.
Quite honestly most casual users with a $1/gb SSD and $49 nvidia card would not be able to tell the difference between the cache. and the lowest rank celeron (check the microcenter flyer) destroys everything amd has to offer.
someone needs to check the prices here man. i just opened up my microcenter flyer tonight and noticed $49 z68 mobo + $34.99 celeron dual core 2.4ghz celeron g530 (LGA1155)
why would they sell a celeron for $107 when you can buy a G530 celeron for $34 ($39 not on sale)? Reply
Kristian Vättö - Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - linkThese Celerons are mobile versions, some even being ULV. Hence the price. Reply
maroon1 - Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - linkActually the desktop version of Pentium processors has 3MB L3 cache
And Celeron G5xx has 2MB L3 cache Reply
Taft12 - Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - linkAnyone have performance numbers comparing the Pentium G6xx to Celeron G5xx? Especially if it shows performance at equal clockspeed? (so we can see just what difference 2MB vs 3MB of L2 cache makes... I'm betting very little in most cases) Reply
ibrihim - Thursday, February 02, 2012 - link"No matter what type of workload there is, Celeron G540 is stably 4% behind Pentium G620, which is most likely determined by the differences in clock frequency. It means that cutting L3 cache memory from 3 Mb to 2 MB (by 1.5 times) is a purely cosmetic adjustment, which has more effect on the subjective perception of the technical specifications rather than the actual performance in applications. So, the slight difference in price between Celeron and Pentium processors has only slight influence on their performance.

mathew7 - Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - linkBut where are the AES-NI celerons? Or i3s? I really want to use encryption on a fileserver, but that's all that requires CPU performance. Otherwise the cheapest celeron is enough. Reply
Taft12 - Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - linkSandy Bridge CPUs have more than enough horsepower to AES encrypt on the fly on a home fileserver without the special instructions. Intel has decided you need to pay up if you want that feature. Reply
Visual - Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - linkWhen we are all waiting for Ivy Bridge, Intel is still selling us old news.
I wish AMD were more competitive so we don't get such artificial slowdowns to technology progress. Reply
wut - Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - linkUh, last time I checked Intel's tick-tock is right on schedule. There is still a new iteration once per year. Reply
extide - Thursday, February 02, 2012 - linkRight, but if AMD was more competitive we WOULD see better value from Intel as well. Less crippled processors and stuff released at higher speeds for less money. Intel has plenty of room to lower their profit margin *if they need to* but right now, they dont, so they make as much money as they can. Business 101. Reply
dilligad - Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - linkif 2550k is gpu-less they should name it 2550p or 2550kp, 2550k is totally misleading. Reply
Taft12 - Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - linkApparently you haven't been paying attention to Intel product naming for a good number of years now -- it's been misleading since the P4 days. Reply
