Iketh - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkI just hope Intel has another massive breakthrough in performance soon because rendering a 4K mp4 is gonna SUCK
Don't need AMD for this case, the industry will drive it this time... Reply
ddriver - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkLooks like desktop CPU performance is hitting a brick wall, the last 4 generations are barely incremental in performance. Could very well be the product of AMD ultimately failing to compete in the high end. I don't complain, this way I don't feel the urge to upgrade my 3770k. Reply
Antronman - Thursday, July 17, 2014 - linkIBM says silicon will end up limiting CPU capability, and are investigating alternatives. Reply
jhawkinstx - Tuesday, March 03, 2015 - linkYes, when I heard that in the news I went out and invested in companies with alternative tech (Gallium-Arsinide based processors) which did not have the limitations of silicon.......that was in the late 1990s....seems the end of silicon, like peak oil, has been preached for quite some time. For now, I will just wait patiently with my 4 year old Intel boxes. When something more than incremental improvement arrives I will buy. Reply
Chaser - Monday, December 29, 2014 - linkNor do I with my 2600K. It would be throwing money away. I am a single monitor 2440P higher end gamer that does some office work as well. I have no CPU shortfalls. Reply
jhawkinstx - Tuesday, March 03, 2015 - linkI agree, I have 4-intel 2600K boxes and which run my business jobs at roughly the same rate as the Xeon based box I bought a year earlier, but with the 2600K costing 1/6 the price of the xeon. Current benchmarks show me nothing worth spending the money on. If anything I would add another 2600K box for roughly $200/processor. Reply
JlHADJOE - Saturday, March 21, 2015 - linkOn the contrary, CPU performance has been steadily increasing, but Intel has been choosing to spend those IPC gains on lowering the TDP instead of increasing outright performance. Reply
wrkingclass_hero - Sunday, July 13, 2014 - linkIt's funny, I'm actually rendering a 4K mp4 right now! My 4.6 GHz 3930k looks like it's going to take a grand total of 21 hours to render it... and it's a 3 minute clip...
But there are a lot of effects on it (stabilization, layers of videos, etc.) It also doesn't help that it is a two pass. Reply
ddriver - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkWhat do you expect, throwing such a workload on a measly single cpu - such tasks are performed by rendering farms with thousands of quad socket machines. Reply
Braincruser - Sunday, July 13, 2014 - linkRendering should be left to GPU cores in shaders. They scale much much better than cpu. Reply
Mark-Benney - Thursday, August 14, 2014 - linkI wrote out a the Manderoot program on a Acorn Electron 32k, Back in the very early days. Took 48hrs to complete up on books with fan placed under it. Lol bet you were not even born when i first wrote program in Dos/Machine code/Pascal/BBC Basic. And still in nappys when I was overclocking a Intel Celron from 233mhz to a stable 24/7 367mhz Reply
CrystalBay - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkThanks Dr. Ian I love my Intel 4790K @ 4.8 Ghz , I also love Asus Z97 Deluxe . This isa the simplest way to OC in my 25 years of building PC's ... Screw it being AVX stable capitol BS never will be used instruction . Any modern chip fails at it anyway ... Go Devils ,go AMD Reply
pcjoeyd - Wednesday, February 18, 2015 - linkcrystalBay,,, not ANY modern chip fails...just your unstable cpu setup. why run at 4.8ghz and run your cpu super hot? bump it down to 4.6-4.7ghz (you won't notice any difference), run your cpu much cooler and be 100% stable. Reply
superjim - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkIntel hasn't made a good OCing chip since Sandy Bridge. Devil's Canyon just reinforces how good SB was. Nearly every i5 and i7 chip could hit 4.4 without issue with most at 4.6+ on a good air cooler. Raise your hand if you're still on SB only because there is nothing better... Reply
AlucardX - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linksame here. I'm on 2500k at 4.5 GHz. I kept reading this article to try to determine if it was time for a rebuild, and i guess the answer is no. this would be more appealing if the i7 had true 8 core CPU's in it Reply
jloutz - Thursday, July 24, 2014 - linkCompletely agree with above posts. I'm at 4.5 GHz on closed loop water on a 2500k and this thing has been rock solid for four years (by far the longest upgrade cycle since I started DIY builds in 1998. I believe I got a Microcenter CPU/ASUS MB bundle for ~ $300 (wow!) I've added SSD's and a new graphic card, but still itching for a CPU/MB chipset upgrade. Let's see what Skylake brings to the party?? Reply
pcjoeyd - Thursday, February 19, 2015 - linkyep, no need to get anything greater than sandybridge as it stands now. I have my 2600k i7 clocked at 4.4ghz super stable and cool. My daughter's pc I have her 2500k running at 4.7ghz. I'm using Noctua NH-U14S coolers in both systems. Rock solid, runs cool and super QUIET!! Reply
MrSpadge - Saturday, July 26, 2014 - linkSwitched from Sandy to Ivy for the better power consumption under moderate OC (4.1 GHz @ 1.03 V). Running 24/7 load on it, so even stock voltage (1.18 V) is far too expensive. Reply
bhima - Sunday, August 03, 2014 - linkStill rocking my i5-2500K at 4.2 on air. I could go higher, but I'm pretty conservative when it comes to OC. I have no need to upgrade as games aren't bottlenecked by my processor, and using the Adobe suite is still a trivial task for Sandy Bridge. Reply
FlushedBubblyJock - Thursday, November 20, 2014 - linkRaising 2500K hand acquired near release.
4.8 oc from the motherboards auto setting no sweat.
Saw that and never tried anything higher as I figured the chip is golden to me.
It's been an extreme pleasure to never worry about the system being bogged down to a page turning crawl, which prior to SB was always a possibility, for years, on anything and everything. Reply
Chaser - Monday, December 29, 2014 - linkI'm at 4.4 with my 2600K just with simple MB automated O/Cing. /raise Reply
DanNeely - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkWhat did you use as cooling for the tests? A stock cooler or something aftermarket? Reply

MooseMuffin - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkHe mentions a Corsair H80i in the overclocking section. Reply
DanNeely - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkThanks, I was expecting to see it on the overclocking page itself instead of in the first page's intro/summary information. Reply
Ian Cutress - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkCorsair H80i in a push-pull configuration. Reply
bill5 - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkkind of surprising how well the 8350 holds up in some of these tests, given it's age and price. granted, in some tests it's nearly doubled, but in others it's surprisingly competitive.
if amd ever gets anything going at all they'll give intel a run. intel performance has been stagnant for ages. Reply
DrMrLordX - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkForget the 8350. Go A10-7850K! Anywhere OpenCL shows up, it kicks butt at its price point. You can get one off the Egg for around $180 now. And that's just OpenCL. HSA where are you?
To me, the results where the 7850K wins are clear indications of what could come to pass once OpenCL and other GPU compute options become more mainstream. Anyone writing software would have to be insane not to look at the advantages offered by Kaveri (and Carrizo, and Skylake). Reply
sr1030nx - Saturday, July 12, 2014 - linkI'm glad to see opencl and hsa coming along, there's a good chance they'll make AMD relevant in higher end computing. Reply
GeorgeDBartlett - Saturday, July 12, 2014 - linkhi Reply
Spirall - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkThanks for the article! I undestand Intel has no chance to go back with the improvements (including base frequencies) with Broadwell Ks. Would like to see memory speeds (including BLCK change impact on them). These are what Haswell Ks should have been from beggining. Reply
CrystalBay - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkThanks Dr. Ian it was worth the wait ! I had already bought a 4790k ,but your breakdown hypothesis of the TIM has put this article above others... Reply
Kevin G - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkThis is the Haswell Intel should have introduced a year ago for the enthusiast. There is a bit more tangible benefit for owners of Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge chips to jump to Haswell now. Still the main reason for the upgrades in my view is the improved chipsets with Z97 being rather nice over the older Z68 and Z77.
As for coming Haswell-E chips, it'll remain rather niche like the current socket 2011 chips. You either have an explicit need for more cores, more PCI-e lanes or more than 32 GB of memory.
The delays of Broadwell make me wonder just how long it'll be on the market before SkyLake arrives. At first Intel was targeting Broadwell as a pure mobile part but eventually recanted. Then the delays hit with desktop parts looking seemingly appearing in 2015. If SkyLake is a late 2015 part as envisioned, then Broadwell will have a short life span and ultimately worth passing to jump directly to SkyLake. Reply
FlushedBubblyJock - Thursday, November 20, 2014 - linkI can see the nm performance wall hitting... for general use gamers... some fancy software specialty is going to be the near future selling points... looks like it to me anyway. Reply
Muyoso - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkI wish there was an overclocked 3770k @ 4.5ghz in the charts so that I could compare my current setup to what is new. I have a feeling that it would be fairly competitive still. Reply
beginner99 - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkWhy don't us test multiplayer games? Seriously single-player games on 1080p will be GPU limited basically always with the current top end intel chips. and these 5 fps differences are pretty much irrelevant. What would be interesting is BF4 64 player maps for example and with mantle or dx. These benchmarks here are useless for choosing a gaming cpu or even worse they can be misleading in some cases. Reply
ZeDestructor - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkIt's harder to make multiplayer completely reproducible.
Then again, now that I think of it.. if you have a LAN server, it should be possible t do that...
Hmmm... Reply
Ian Cutress - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkBenchmarks have to be consistent. Just applying FRAPs to a few online games of BF4 for each CPU has no guarantee of consistency and it is an apples to oranges comparison. One match could be heavy in explosions for example, or if I decide to camp out as a sniper. There is also local variability based on the server you connect to and the number of individuals logged in.
Until an intensive online multiplayer game has the option to record a time demo and emulates network delay accurately, the only way we can test gaming is via single player. BF2 came pretty close back in the day, but no modern titles that I know of have this feature and remain consistent. Reply
et20 - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkStarcraft 2 games can be quite intense and the replay functionality is solid.
I doubt it provides network delay emulation. Why do you want that anyway? Reply
ZeDestructor - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkCouldn't you use something with a dedicated server combined with kb/mouse emulation on a bunch of extra PCs running at 640x480 nonsense kind of thing?
It's potentially more work, especially the potential synchronisation and timing issues, but it should be doable to within 10ms of latency (on my LAN I see ping roundtrips in the sub-ms range), should it not? Reply
Ryan Smith - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkIn theory yes. But in practice most first-person games spawn you at a random point, which makes any kind of input track playback ineffective.
The games where such a thing would work would tend to be games that already have better benchmark capabilities anyhow, such as racers and RTSes. Reply
ZeDestructor - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkCouldn't you get a modified DS from a dev? Reply
FlushedBubblyJock - Thursday, November 20, 2014 - linkThey just don't want to do it.
They live for their claimed accurate scientific method.
It will take a genius with guts or a brute with some money, then we can see the results we never get that we all want somewhere else.
Let's face it, it could be done and there would be some +/- low end percentage variability, so frames could be rounded to whole numbers removing the tenths ( which are outside the current bench errors and variability ).
It just isn't going to happen here, but someone should definitely do it, and we'd all love going there.
Real life scenarios are just too scary for the cold and removed and protected elite. Politics.
We all play our online games and know what frames we can count on given our vid cards and systems and current clocks and we all have our favorite maps and servers... etc.
Remember all these websites run the highest end overlcocked cpu and boards they possibly can, and that also is deceptive for most readers.
They run SSD's now with clean installs and used to go with defragged and rebooted but now methods are equivalent so nothing extra is running best case scenario stuff...
Yes another type of review site is needed, but then again the general idea is given for what info is available here, so downsize accordingly is the answer. Reply
wallysb01 - Sunday, July 13, 2014 - linkIf this is something that's really needed for a real test, why not just do it 50 times per processor and do some stats. Reply
doggghouse - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkOut of curiosity, what do people consider to be safe voltages for Haswell? I recently had to replace my 4770K with a 4790K because the chip started to BSOD even when not overclocked... I don't know if I helped speed its demise after having tested it at 1.4V several times, and I think I settled on 1.3V 4.4GHz daily use (it was a mediocre chip apparently).
I apparently lucked out on my 4790K because it is running stable at 4.6GHz with only 1.25V, and 4.7GHz at 1.3125V. I was thinking about testing its upper limits for fun--try for the mythical 5GHz--but I don't want to accidentally burn out an otherwise great chip. I very briefly ran it at 5GHz with 1.424V and HT disabled, it was stable enough to run a few benchmarks. But if I play around in the 1.4V range, am I potentially going to wreck it? Reply
TheinsanegamerN - Saturday, July 12, 2014 - linkTypically, for 22nm intel (sandy bridge and haswell) the typically regarded "safe 24/7 voltage" is only 1.3 volt on air, and 1.4 volt on water. for a very short period, higher than 1.4 can be used if you have VERY good cooling, but you may damage the vhip even with ln2 cooling at anything above 1.4v.
Also, it sucks you had to do 1.3v to get to 4.4Ghz....I hit 4.2Ghz at only 1.075v. apparently got a REALLY good chip somehow, although i heard that the costa rica chips, of which mine is one, always did overclock better. Reply
doggghouse - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkInteresting... so is it the temps, and not the voltage directly, that eventually kills the chip? If so, would running lots of synthetic benchmarks that brings temps into the 90-100C range shorten its lifespan? I have an AIO water cooler, the Kraken X60, which can keep normal temps cool, but anything above 1.25V will still hit 100C on the latest Prime95 Small FFTs test. Reply
FlushedBubblyJock - Thursday, November 20, 2014 - linkVoltage can kill the cpu. You won't necessarily get the temp reading it can happen so fast.
Secondarily, a higher voltage is more volatile with higher temps, so the combination can also cause electromigration blowouts.

maximumGPU - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkThanks for the info! Reply
xeizo - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkI quit overclocking this generation, I have a SB 2600K that does 5GHz+ stable for 24/7 operation if needed and it sits fine in my gaming rig. But, Haswell is interesting exactly for that 24/7 operation thing, I like to have my home server always on and it doubles as a Linux workstation. The lowest end i5 aka 4570S is perfect for that kind of use, very conservative power draw means great opportunities for a silent rig and at the same time snappy enough performance for almost all tasks. I did some bclk on mine so that it turbos to 3.83GHz and it has fast 2133MHz memory. And it is virtually silent and very cool(max 50C at 4x100%). It replaced a Q9450 and was quite a big upgrade in all aspects, so Haswell has it's points other than maximum performance at any cost.
My gaming rig waits sceptically for Haswell-E, looks more to be Maxwell frankly speaking ... Reply
jihe - Saturday, July 12, 2014 - linkI quit overclocking when one has to pay a premium to do it. Long live FSB and BCLK overclocks. Reply
ZeDestructor - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkEverything LGA2011 i-series is unlocked ;)
Ofc, if you're going there, you have other reasons for doing so, not just overclocking. Reply
PICman - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkWould you please elaborate on the relationship between outer shell electrons and thermal conductivity? Is more better?
Incidentally, polymers have poor thermal conductivity. Nearly all of the thermal flux is due to the filler (composition, concentration, aspect ratio). Reply
ZeDestructor - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkFrom what (admittedly little) I know about chemistry, outer-shell electrons don't matter much in thermal conductivity. Not here at least, since they are not free (and thus electron motion heat transfer (can't remember the proper name)isn't possible as in pure metals and alloys). All they would do is change the colour of the TIM as well as other properties of the associated salt (oxides are a specific type of salt).
If you check back around Sunday evening/Monday morning, I may update this thread: I have a DnD game with some chemist friends who may be able to answer that question, and well, is a mildly interesting question. Reply
PICman - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkZeDestructor, thanks, but I was being sarcastic. Thermal conductivity is much more complex than simply counting valence electrons. Note that a diamond (carbon has 4 valence electrons) is the best solid non-conductive material. Liquids and conductive solids (like silver or copper) are a different story. Reply
Ian Cutress - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkThe outer shell d-electrons was more a comment towards color. A number of d10 oxides are used as pigments for paint due to their strong white color. If the ceramic matrix suspension had been something more vibrant, we might be able to pin it down easier. But you don't see any Vanadium based TIMs anywhere :D
Thermal conductivity usually benefits from rigidity of the material. Hence why diamond is good and a sponge is bad. If you want the best thermal conductivity between the CPU and heatsink, then something like Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra, which uses a binding metal (Gallium, which eats Aluminium - check Youtube for videos) to reform between the two metal surfaces and bind them. This binds the heatspreader to the heatsink (or the die to the heatspreader) without any chance of removal without severe force.

DiDaDaDi - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkDoes anyone knows why 4670k/4770k had TSX/VT-d removed? Of course apart from the obvious reason Reply
DanNeely - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkThey consider it an Enterprise feature and don't want enterprise customers buying cheap consumer CPUs and Overclocking them for more performance when they could force them to buy Xeons for ten times as much. Reply
ZeDestructor - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkNon-overclockable LGA-115x CPUs have VT-d (assuming your chipset + mobo allows it) as does the LGA-2011 platform as a whole nowadays, when intel added it to the platform on unlocked CPUs in a later revision (i7-3930K C2 and newer, available on all i7-3820) while keeping overclocking.
That's reason number 3 for me getting Haswell-E later this year, since I do a fair bit of VM-related work on my desktop. Reply
DiDaDaDi - Saturday, July 12, 2014 - linkWe don't care what you want. I was just wondering why Intel hasn't pushed an update to the MB BIOS to "unlock" VT-d/TSX Reply
ZeDestructor - Saturday, July 12, 2014 - linkNo idea... Most likely it's written in the CPU itself, but then again, we can get microcode updates to the CPU as well... so really, who knows?
Also, iirc the 4670K/4770K never had VT-d to begin with, like all previous LGA115x K-series cores... Reply
wintermute000 - Saturday, July 12, 2014 - linkI thought 4790k has vt-d? (unlike 4770k). Stupid intel segmentation Reply
Roland00Address - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkI would buy the 4790k and just keep it at stock. Why get the K model? It is clocked 400 mhz higher and some people say that is worth $40 more dollars which is a 13% increase of cpu price, and even less when you figure in the cost of all the other computer components.
I understand these chips are not marketed to me, but why would you deal with all the hassle of overclocking for less than a 10% difference in most tests? We are talking like 28 to 40 degrees celsius hotter cpu even though you are using an $100 cpu cooler, 40 watts more power draw and thus a hotter room, a louder computer, and worse a chance of data corruption and all the potential hassles overclocking brings in some instances.
I understand if we were getting 30 to 50% performance increases like we used too, and still do with the new unlocked pentium g3258, but for less than 10% in most tests...why bother?
(If you answer why bother? With its fun! That is okay and I understand. But to me overclocking is just work. I rather spend the 2 hours overclocking playing a game or watching a movie, and you will spend at least 2 hours tweaking and testing, etc.) Reply
ZeDestructor - Saturday, July 12, 2014 - linkOverclocking is easy if all you want id a 10-15% boost: took me all of 15minutes worth of reboots on my 3570K to settle on 4.4GHz capped and +0.03V. Sub-80°C with my cheap-ass $30 cooler, until such time I build an awesome Novec-cooled (Novec is a line of non-conductive cooling fluids by 3M) liquid-cooling loop. Reply
Communism - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkIntel Math Library Optimized Linpack or no balls :D
But seriously. My Ivy Bridge can do Intel Match Library Optimized Linpack @ 4.6ghz without throttling.
Haswell and/or Haswell refresh are not upgrades for me if they cannot do the same.
Stability must mean no errors of any sort ever. Period. This includes any and all throttling.
Hopefully Haswell-E delivers. Reply

wurizen - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linknot tempted by the 4790k at all. i have a i7-3770k oc'd to 4.1. i thought i was safe at 4.2 until sony movie studio crashed and i realized it was the oc so i downclocked it to 4.1. i have it offset too to -.065. not really an OC maestro but i am happy with it and i think i have one of those underperforming cpu batches. i also have a push-pull tpc 812 cpu cooler on there which is a high-end air cooler from cooler master. whatev.

wurizen - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkoh, also want to add that haswell-e seems to be what people are waiting for since it will offer 6-core as base and a new 8-core cpu as well as supporting ddr4. but, i'm also waiting for AMD's answer to desktop cpu. they already have an 8-core processor. i feel like if they update the chipsets, add pci 3.0, maybe even ddr4 support as an option, improve the FX series 8-core processor to be equivalent or near haswell-e or even ivy-e 6-core,--it would really give intel a run for the innovation/awesome cpu maker spot--but i know i'm dreaming.

hahmed330 - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkWhat I want in a discrete graphics or a APU is High quality HEVC 1080p encoding with the speed of quick sync as I have to rely on X264 encoding. Otherwise buying a new CPU has no point for me. Sandy Bridge still provides great performance at 5.5Ghz good enough for gaming and hopefully at the emergence of DX12 CPU limited scenarios will be in very few circumstances. Reply
dj_aris - Friday, July 11, 2014 - linkSomehow it feels like Intel are really bored and struggle to present something interesting. I mean, One would expect Broadwell to be around the corner or at least some Iris Pro love in a socketed chip just to compete with AMD in the only area they are not dominating right now. At least in Atom chips things are more interesting lately. Reply

MamiyaOtaru - Saturday, July 12, 2014 - linkpossible reason they don't use solder anymore: http://iweb.tms.org/PbF/JOM-0606-67.pdf
"At higher thermal cycles the cracks have propagated across the entire center region of the die and significantly degrade thermal performance.This failure mechanism is predominant on small die form factors. The center degradation mode is not observed, as the die size is increased to the large and medium sizes"
Smaller die sizes are more likely to see cracks in the solder spread to the middle, significantly harming thermal performance. Ivy Bridge / Haswell with their process shrink have smaller die sizes, perhaps making solder unworkable as a TIM Reply
ZeDestructor - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkInteresting.... Reply
Galatian - Saturday, July 12, 2014 - linkI agree: 4,6 GHz seems to be the sweet spot. Mine uses 1,25V core and a 0,175 V offset uncore to reach Ringbus parity. I needed 1,294V for 4,7 and 1,345 for 4,8. Temperatures were off the hook though and this is with a custom-liquid loop with 2 480mm radiators (one monsta and one 25mm) as well as Liquid Ultra. Stability tested with Prime95 24h and IBT 20 runs on maximum (kudos to IDK in the forum for is stability guide).
It is an improvement as it seems to be easier to get a rock stable CPU, but temperatures still are a problem. The thing is: I don't believe a better solution would ultimately change anything. I mean when you clearly see that the sweet spot is 4,6 GHz with 1,25V one would assume that 5 GHz probably needs something like 1,5V and that's just dangerously high IMHO.
Also what I realized is that DC needs a lot less Input Voltage. Stock was at 1,8V, but even with my overclock I could dial it all the way down to 1,5V, which is amazing. Ian have you checked how low you can go? (I can't believe I just said that...). Also how exactly can Prime95 ruin a CPU? I still consider it gold standard, as it would show problems within minutes when other stress tests would happily run for hours. I know it is a hassle to let it run for 24h but nothing gets close to rock stable setting then Prime95. Reply

andrew-1983 - Saturday, July 12, 2014 - linkThe image is blurry, but the batch number of the 4790k looks
like L336... which if I'm decoding it right means 2013 36th week,
around 2013 September. Does that matter that you are testing
a 10 month old CPU for overclocking? Reply
Galatian - Saturday, July 12, 2014 - linkThat number stand for the time the silicon was started to be manufactures or something alike...(read the forums...it has been mentioned several times now)...there are a lot more step until a final chip is put together, so it really is not a 10 month old processor. Reply
andrew-1983 - Sunday, July 13, 2014 - linkOk I get that, but when the retail cpu we buy has an L418C164 that's still
an 8-month difference, whatever the numbers actually mean, and there is
a new microarchitecture or die shrink in every year..
What I'm trying to say is overclockability should be tested with
silicon similar to what people will buy after reading the review. Reply
bludragon - Saturday, July 12, 2014 - linkMy chip need 1.237v to be prime95 stable at 4x4.4GHz. This is the stock vid for aturbo on 1 or 2 cores. Using an NH-D14 it would throttle on cores 2 and 3 (so hitting 105+deg?) withing a few minutes. Delidded it maxes at 91 degrees, so at least 15 degrees better and I used the Noctua TIM. I tried 4.6 but the voltage nneds to be 1.27 or higher as it throttled again there. Reply
ratbert1 - Saturday, July 12, 2014 - linkWith an i5-2500k I still do not see the need to upgrade. I have run at 4Ghz with speedstep and voltage on auto for 3 years. My synthetics will be slower, but using an SSD my everyday usage is fine. Just ran Bioshock Infinite benchmark and got 115 fps average and 41 fps min. @1080p on GTX770 running stock speed(card is OC'd version though). Hopefully Broadwell early next year. Reply
Timur Born - Saturday, July 12, 2014 - linkMy 4770K needs 1.25 volts just to hit stable 4.2 GHz on all cores. So a 4790K looks tempting. On the other hand I can get 4.4 GHz Turbo out of my 4770K at single/dual core operation, so in essence it is the same thing, just using higher voltages than a stock 4790K. Worth paying lots of money for that? Not so sure. Reply
doggghouse - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkIf you already have a 4770K, then buying a 4790K is basically just buying another ticket in the silicon lottery, unless you have a need for the extra enabled features (ex. VT-d). One good thing about 4790K is it's a higher binned chip, guaranteed to run at least 44-44-43-42 with default voltage (1.1v?). However, beyond that it may or may not have any overclocking headroom. Reply
Timur Born - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkI agree. My 4770K needs 1.1v stock, hardly reaches those 44-44-43-42 at 1.3v (jury is still out on stability) and doesn't go to 43-43-43-43 at *any* voltage. So any lottery can only be better than what I already got. ;)
I'm haggling with a friend who might want my CPU. Else I might just wait for Broadwell. Reply
wrayj - Saturday, July 12, 2014 - linkI work in media production, and when dealing with 6k raw footage that must be decoded and debayered, our editing performance scales tremendously with more cores. The idea of an upcoming overclockable 8-core CPU with the fresh x99 platform is much more exciting to me than Devil's Canyon. Even at $1k, we're talking about a huge amount of value compared to xeon platforms. Reply
JanieEMontgomery - Saturday, July 12, 2014 - linkhyyy Reply
mfenn - Saturday, July 12, 2014 - linkIan, you can't have your cake and eat it to when it comes to proselytizing your overclocking viewpoints. For example, in the very same page of this review, you make the following statements:
" A fair number of regular end-users ... can be concerned about overclocking..."
"To put the concept of 'overclocking death' into perspective: ... Out of the 250+ CPUs I own, I have only ever had one CPU fail."
"Personally, I shudder when a user suggests a system is not stable unless it passes '72hr Large FFT Prime95', because I have seen users irreparably damage their CPUs with it. "
On the one hand you say that you've only broken one CPU by inputting wildly out of range values, the purpose of that statement is to tell people that they're probably not going to break their machine. On the other hand you're telling users that running a piece of application software could damage their (overclocked) CPUs.
So is overclocking a safe an fun hobby or isn't it? You need to make up your mind before trying to convince people of your position. Reply
xeizo - Sunday, July 13, 2014 - linkWell he didn't, or did he? He just shared his reality which isn't black or white. It's grey, like the reality is. Of course there is danger for damaging the hardware when overclocking, what Ian means is that when sensibly doing so there is very little risk but he also warns about ridiculous stability testing(not "application software") which makes the chance of damaging the hardware much more likely. When in doubt, don't OC, and when doing it for fun the risk is part of the fun. Really. Reply
DeathMetroll - Sunday, July 13, 2014 - linkI'm currently using a I7 firstname.lastname@example.com, is it worth to go for a I5 4690K ? I'm just a gamer (BF4 and other 3D games) Reply
ZeDestructor - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkWait till Skylake would be my opinion. You'll get an even better boost, and move up to DDR4 and other good stuff. Reply

FlushedBubblyJock - Thursday, November 20, 2014 - linkWhat vid card are you using is my question.

HollyDOL - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkUmm, please fix the pseudo-code on page 2:
try {
} catch {
CPU.CoreVoltage += 0.025;
continue; // exit do while loop
Increasing multiplier only makes sense when you successfully passed the exception block ;-) Reply
Djibrille - Friday, July 25, 2014 - linkI was thinking the same thing.
That continue statement does not exit the do loop it just returns to the beginning, so the comment is not accurate either. ;) Reply
HollyDOL - Friday, July 25, 2014 - linkye true, actually incrementing that voltage float (in case it is a floating point variable) is wrong too since it leads to FP errors, so it should be like:
CPU.CoreVoltage = baseVoltage + (++voltageMultiplicator * 0.025);
continue; // skip to next loop iteration
:-) Reply
Djibrille - Saturday, July 26, 2014 - linkNice!
Maybe that's taking it too far, it's just pseudo-code albeit pretty close to real c/c++/java code.
Logical errors I think he needs to fix though, otherwise including the code is pointless. Reply
rms141 - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - link"It would seem to offer higher limits for overclocking, although your mileage may vary. For Ivy Bridge users, the rewards are even greater. However, gamers at 1920x1080 resolutions gain very little."
If this is true, then why are there no Ivy Bridge CPUs included in the benchmarks? Not even the venerable i5 3570k? It's very strange to include a single Sandy Bridge CPU, but no Ivy Bridge CPUs. Reply
FlushedBubblyJock - Thursday, November 20, 2014 - linkThe 3570K is faster on the 1155 SB socket, so like it's a given it's covered and in better shape, but yeah, it might be too close to the new breed... lol... leave it out so everything looks like real progress. Reply
Hrel - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkSeems like Intel is slowing down their upgrade cycle. These are basically stepping revisions (A1, A2, A3 etc...) being marketed as new CPU's. I guess their tick/tock is going bi-annual. Cause Haswell came out last year, unless you wanna be technical, then it came out in 2012. Reply
johnpombrio - Sunday, July 27, 2014 - linkI might just remove my Haswell that is o/c to 4.2GHz and stick in a Devil's Canyon. Why? To get rid of the noisy water cooler fans. The higher I o/c, the noisier the fans and 4.4 is max anyways without occasionally bumping into the 90 C headbump. I also would not bother to o/c the 4790K chip and put the CPU back to an air cooler. This would be my FIRST computer build that I have NOT o/c in the past 25 years! Reply
namec - Monday, July 28, 2014 - linkYou hit the nail squarely on the head, I think, JP. Devil's Canyon is the first stock-clocked 4.0 ghz CPU, and it has a 400 mhz on-demand overclock (Turbo). This all comes with a factory warranty!
I was waiting for Broadwell, but aside from 30% better efficiency (which I covet), it may have little to offer. At least until the 5790K comes out.
The days of the 40% overclock are past. Sure the G3258 (factory at 3.2ghz) can oc to 4.7 ghz (which btw is about the same stable top clock for 4790K), but Intel could have released the G3258 at 4.2 ghz stock. Then some would complain that it does not oc well. Reply

It was well overclockable as long as you keep temp down came close to running it stable at double its base speed. The new i5 I have is not really stable much past 3.9mhz with overclock ram 16gb 2400mhz. But to this day no game including B4, Crisis 3 in ultra 1080 has slowed it , GPU GTX770 4gb Reply

ZenithSal - Sunday, September 14, 2014 - linkThere is a reason why Larabee was a good concept, too bad intel killed it. Desktop processors based on the current architecture are getting stale and they have hit a dead end a while ago. Competition isn't helping either since AMD is trailing way back and their only advantages right now are lower prices and a unified socket.
On the other hand GPUs are breaking performance grounds constantly driven by fierce competition yet very little of that power is tapped into.
Software needs to adapt, the CPU must change its role to become merely a task scheduler and do simpler tasks while any expensive processing should run on the GPU.
AMD realized that and developed HSA for their Kaveri architecture, too bad the raw processor performance is not up to par yet compared to intel and software isn't taking advantage of its heterogeneous features. Reply
Dimetime35c - Tuesday, October 13, 2015 - linkI have a question. Okay my i5 4690k has been able to OC to 4.8Ghz and passed 12+ hour stress testing. I am wondering if I've been pushing it further then I should be seeing as in your tests you BSOD at 4.8? I'm newish to overclocking and I'm worried that sense I'm newish I am not seeing the warning signs that my oc isn't stable and even though I'm running. In fact I'm slowly killing my cpu as I'm either under volting it or doing something else that someone that knows oc would see as not right. Reply

Julian Huxley, one of Darwin's leading supporters, sought to place the latter's biological argument onto a philosophical footing and constructed a new religion under the name of evolutionary humanism.
The aim of this religion was to "ensure that the evolutionary process on Earth reached its maximum conclusion." This was not restricted to strong organisms living longer and trying to reproduce more offspring. In addition, "it was foreseen that man would develop his own abilities to the highest level." To put it another way, efforts were to be made to enable mankind to proceed to stages more advanced than the one that human beings are in today. Huxley offered a full definition of the term Humanism:
I use the word 'Humanist' to mean someone who believes that man is just as much a natural phenomenon as an animal or a plant, that his body, his mind, and his soul were not supernaturally created but are all products of evolution, and that the is not under the control or guidance of any supernatural Being or beings, but has to rely on himself and his own powers. 156
Huxley's suggestion that human beings' sacred aim was to accelerate their own evolution had a profound effect on the American philosopher John Dewey. He developed this line and founded the movement known as Religious Humanism in 1933, publishing the famous Humanist Manifesto. The main idea he emphasized was that the time had come for the traditional Theistic (God-oriented) religions to be done away with and replaced by a new system based on scientific progress and social cooperation.
The deaths of 50 million people in World War II as a result of "scientific progress" rocked the optimism exhibited in the Humanist Manifesto. In the wake of similar blows, Dewey's followers were forced to partially revise their views, and they published the second Humanist Manifesto in 1973. This one admitted that science may sometimes harm mankind, but preserved the basic idea: Man should now direct his own evolution and could do so through science. As the Manifesto said:
Using technology wisely, we can control our environment, conquer poverty, markedly reduce disease, extend our life-span, significantly modify our behavior, alter the course of human evolution and cultural development, unlock vast new powers, and provide humankind with unparalleled opportunity for achieving an abundant and meaningful life.157
In fact these ideas, adopted consciously or subconsciously by all Darwinists, make crystal clear the fundamental beliefs of the Religion of Evolution. An imaginary process of species evolution is first dreamed up, and it is then assumed that this process is the creator of everything. The further, it is thought that this process can represent salvation for humanity, and it is believed that humanity's sacred destiny is to serve that process. In short, evolution is both a Creator, and a savior, and a sacred purpose. To short, it is worshipped as a deity.
156 Huxley, J. as cited in The Best of Humanism, ed. Roger E. Greeley. Buffalo, NY: Prometheus, 1988. pp. 194-5.

I came across "In The Time of Butterflies" through the Algonquin Books, and immediately after reading the description, the book went on my "to-reads" list! I love books that take fact, and add fiction, in order for the reader to be able to relate to the voices of the characters. I would love to read this book, and would be extremely obliged (not to mention, psyched) to win this book.
I especially loved the author's mention of Seamus Heaney's poem "The Cure at Troy", because the lines
"The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme."
are from some of my favorite lines ever written. I will, most assuredly, be tuning in on March 21st!

The late John Updike once remarked, "What art offers is a space - a certain breathing room for the spirit."
That's particularly true when it comes to contemporary art, since its creators invite us to explore, confront and re-experience the world in which we actually live in fresh, challenging and - ultimately - affirming ways. It is art made from the world and the lives we share. Whether in praise or critique, wonder or revulsion, it speaks to us in the intimate syllables of our own time, and the fruits of that conversation feed the spirit.
That's why the current muddle surrounding the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's offer to merge with the Museum of Contemporary Art should be of intense interest to people across Southern California - not just to a handful of wealthy art patrons and government bureaucrats. MOCA is one of the region's unique cultural resources - one of the few, moreover, with an unambiguously international prestige. Its permanent collection of art made since World War II is the second finest in the world; only New York's Museum of Modern Art has a deeper one. On a purely material plane, its staggering estimated value of $4 billion dollars makes it financially, as well as aesthetically, irreplaceable.
Since its founding more than 30 years ago, MOCA has done more than simply build and preserve the integrity of its permanent collection. It also has mounted a series of internationally admired temporary exhibitions that have informed in essential ways the whole landscape of contemporary art. As is well known, however, its trustees and administrators also sadly neglected the museum's financial well-being. Expenses rose and fundraising lagged until finally MOCA was forced to engage in the institutional equivalent of eating its own seed corn, depleting its endowment to meet current expenses.
As a consequence, MOCA was on the verge of collapse when philanthropist and contemporary art collector Eli Broad - a life trustee of both LACMA and MOCA - bailed the museum out with operating funds and a matching grant to stimulate contributions to the endowment.
Thus, the adjectives - troubled and beleaguered - that now inevitably attach themselves to any report on MOCA's status.
That's the background for a renewal of LACMA's offer to merge with MOCA - ostensibly at the invitation of as-yet-unnamed members of the latter's board of trustees - and to absorb that impossible-to-duplicate permanent collection. The county museum's motives obviously aren't purely altruistic. While it's the largest and best encyclopedic art institution west of Chicago, none of LACMA's individual collections is widely regarded as best in class. Its contemporary art holdings are particularly weak, and it's been years since LACMA mounted a genuinely outstanding contemporary art exhibition - with the arguable exception of its recent Ken Price retrospective.
A merger with MOCA would change all that with the stroke of a pen.
However, there are important questions that need to be answered before rushing into such an agreement. Will there be firm guarantees, for example, that LACMA will continue to maintain MOCA's exhibition spaces on Grand Avenue and in Little Tokyo, as well as its extremely popular satellite operation at the Pacific Design Center? LACMA has said it will raise $100 million to support both its contemporary art program and MOCA's. How will that money be allocated and where will it come from in this difficult fundraising climate?
More to the point, the attractiveness of this takeover - and that's essentially what's on the table - turns on the perception that LACMA's own finances are robust and MOCA's remain unstable. Before anyone rushes into anything, it's worth asking whether both those things are true.
A careful analysis of LACMA's publicly available audited financial statements paints a picture of an institution whose own foundation is not quite as steady as the chutzpah inherent in this merger proposal would suggest. The museum currently has an endowment of $110 million, but only $52 million is available as unrestricted funds. Between 2008 and 2012, its total assets declined from $797.5 million to $660.5 million. When you figure in bonded indebtedness and other liabilities, LACMA's net assets declined over the period from $387.4 million to $213.7 million or a total of $173.7 million. At the same time, its net revenues declined by $111.6 million.
When it comes to bonded indebtedness, LACMA's liabilities far outstrip any other leading American art museum; it is currently carrying on its balance sheet roughly twice as much as New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and almost $100 million more than the Museum of Modern Art. Moody's has downgraded its outlook on LACMA's bonds to negative, and the museum's ratio between adjusted net assets and indebtedness is within one-hundredth of a point of triggering a technical default.
MOCA, by contrast, currently has no debt, $8 million in the bank, $23 million in its endowment with more to come shortly in donations, sources tell the Los Angeles News Group. It also is restoring the vigor of its board with the addition of activists like super agent Ari Emmanuel. Moreover, it's currently in talks with the National Gallery, which would like to provide curatorial assistance and loans of art without in any way infringing MOCA's independence.
Obviously, more needs to be done, but that's not quite the "troubled" MOCA nor the "dynamic" LACMA that many uncritical reports recently have suggested. There's no reason to rush into a merger that would irrevocably sacrifice MOCA's unique contribution to this region's aesthetic spirit.

Reds silenced by Ross, Padres in finale
Cueto tosses seven strong innings, but bats held to three hits in loss
SAN DIEGO -- Normally six wins on a 10-game road trip that includes two stops on the West Coast would be reason to rejoice for the Reds. That was not the case this week.
Not when the trip started with six wins in seven games -- including a four-game sweep at San Francisco -- and ended with being swept in a three-game set at San Diego. That was how the conclusion was etched after the Reds were handed a 3-0 defeat by the Padres on Wednesday afternoon.
Cincinnati, shut out twice in the series and nine times for the season, was held to two runs over 27 innings by Padres pitchers.
"Anybody that is a fan of the Reds is going to be more than simply disappointed in this series; it was really a missed opportunity," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "You have to be resilient in the baseball season, we know that. The Giants didn't quit after we won four games in San Francisco and we're certainly not going to hang things up because we lost three here, but it hurts."
Now 43-41, the Reds missed a huge chance to take advantage of a rare skid by the first-place Brewers. Milwaukee (51-35) is still seven games up on them in the National League Central after it also lost three-straight games.
San Diego was held to one hit in the series opener and won. The second game saw the Reds set a season-high with 16 hits allowed. In the finale, Padres starter Tyson Ross gave up only three hits while striking out nine in his first career shutout.
"This is a series you hope to win two out of three, at least. We set our goals high every series," said Todd Frazier, who got a start at first base on Wednesday and had two of the hits. "You take four from San Francisco and [expect to] come back here to go at least 8-2 or 9-1 on the road and then this happens. ... They had great pitching. All in all, we know we're a better hitting team."
Reds starter Johnny Cueto gave up three earned runs and seven hits over seven innings, with three walks and eight strikeouts. The game turned during a tough situation Cueto has often escaped from, on a play that center fielder Billy Hamilton usually makes.
In the first inning, Cueto got into trouble by giving up singles to Chris Denorfia and Chase Headley before walking Tommy Medica to load the bases.
There were two outs when Rene Rivera hit a liner to right-center field. Hamilton appeared not to have a direct route to the ball, but still just missed a diving catch. The ball hit off the heel of Hamilton's glove and all three runs scored.
"I wasn't trying to swing hard, I just wanted to put the ball in play," Rivera said. "And with Billy Hamilton out there, I know he can get anything. When I hit it, I saw him running and thought I might have a chance. But I also thought that he's fast."
Hamilton acknowledged that he didn't have a good read on the liner.
"It's a play that's got to be made," Hamilton said. "That's all it is. It happens."
With the bases loaded the last three seasons, Cueto's opposing hitters came in 3-for-27. Cueto appeared frustrated with himself about pitching into the situation in the first place.
"That's part of the game," Cueto said through translator Tomas Vera. "I kept my head up and I continued going out and doing all I could."
Cueto, who is now 8-6 with a 1.99 ERA this season, did his part the rest of the way as he allowed only four more singles the rest of the game.
"He wasn't flawless, [but] he was really solid through six innings," Price said. "He had to pitch out of trouble and he did a nice job with that. We really struggled. Ross threw a great game and pitched better and won."
Even though the Reds' offense had improved in June, one area still lacking is comebacks. Cincinnati still hasn't overcome a deficit of more than two runs all season. The last time the Reds came back from down two runs was May 4 vs. the Brewers.
Ross didn't allow a hit until Frazier's two-out single in the fourth inning. The next hit was Frazier's one-out single in the seventh. Brayan Pena hit a one-out double in the eighth, but he was left stranded at third base.
Cincinnati, which finished 1-5 vs. the Padres this season, gets its first off-day after 16 games before a big three-game home series vs. the Brewers.
"We felt it was going good. Everything was going our way," Hamilton said. "But we've got to move on from here and play better. The off-day is going to be big for us. We've got a bunch of guys that really need a day off to get back rested up."

It has been a long held belief, with some substance, that researching family history in Ireland isn't easy. I can tell you that it has got a whole lot easier in the last decade or so ! The newly announced project from the National Library of Ireland is an exciting addition to the online Irish genealogy data.
The project aims to digitise and place online – FREE – the Library's collection of Catholic parish registers that are now available only on microfilm. The date for access for these records is Summer 2015 so not long to wait.
The earliest register dates from 1740 through to the 1880's, the collection consists of 1,091 parish from throughout Ireland and are mainly baptisms and marriages with a few burial registers. So something to look forward to along with your summer holidays

Chaitanya - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkIs conclusion page missing? or it is not present intentionally. Reply
bobsmith1492 - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkSame as the last article... this one is just a refresher so all the conclusions are on the first page and the rest are just backup data. Reply
ImSpartacus - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkThat's a neat way of doing it.
I hope Anandtech can still do in-depth looks at important products, but this format is a happy medium for less important products that still deserve a review. Reply
icrf - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkI agree. I like the format. They could probably tell from access logs that a lot of readers do what I do: read the first page (introduction), then read the last page (conclusion), skipping everything in between. It makes life easier, even if costs you a page of ad impressions. Reply
LancerVI - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - link....and that's the truth of it. I agree! Reply
johan851 - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkI like the layout also. Though you'll get less ad revenue when I skip the rest of the pages. ;) Reply
AssBall - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkI agree and hope to see some of the mobo reviews follow suit, after the nice and complete initial chipset analysis reviews you don't really need a full blown review, just the basics. Reply
CaioRearte - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkI don't think so. When you're reading something that's interesting, I think you tend to check out the ads more than when you're just scrolling down pages of benchmarks. Reply
leexgx - Thursday, April 12, 2012 - linki only use the Print page button (do not print it) as it makes all the pages onto one page (wish other sites would do it) so its only 1 page change
i prefer to have one full page that's just me Reply
jaydee - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkPrice, availability? Reply
shaik umair - Friday, April 20, 2012 - linkya an can get it.... cal me @ 09032293363..........just pay me rupees 2400 for 128gb and rupess 3300 for 500gb Reply
Conficio - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkThanks Anand,
for presenting this new technology and testing it out. As it is so new, it would be good to hear what platforms, i.e. laptops, motherboards, extension cards do offer support for this mSATA technology. Reply
Meaker10 - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkI know the new Gene from Asus will and GT60 and GT70 (with the right attachment) MSI notebooks. Reply
Penti - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkIt's not that new. It's been around a year and some notebooks uses it. There is also mSATA > SATA 2.5" adapters. Some Ultraportables uses mSATA too. Like Dell XPS 13 or HP Folio 13. Those would be kinda hard to upgrade since they are not really serviceable though. But possible and easy to varying kinds of degree.
Motherboards and other stuff has started using it too of course. But they appear to be SATA2/300 on the mSATA port only. Not sure what system they use to bench the drives here. Probably using a desktop system with a adapter. Reply
critical_ - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkI've been using an Intel 310 mSATA in my Lenovo W520 (i7-2960XM, 32GB of RAM, nVidia Quadro 2000M w/ 2GB) and it's served me well. I'd love a slightly faster and bigger mSATA drive so the 256GB version may be it for me. I'm a bit confused as to why Intel has not released much larger mSATA drives yet. Reply
Penti - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkThere are plenty of other vendors though. Micron/Crucial as article, Samsung, SanDisk, even Toshiba and players like OCZ and Plextor/Liteon too. They all have 256GB /mSATA SSD drives. Intel doesn't seem to see them as proper system drives, much of their mSATA lineup is touted against RST, Microsoft ReadyBoost. Like companies such as Kingston, ADATA etc specifically turns against those.
Normally many workstation lappys supports mSATA now days, I think the list for some of those goes like Lenovo X220/T420/T420s/W520 (plus others) and on Dell M4500/M4600/M6400/M6500/M6600. Some Toshibas and Sony is also using it.
The 310s are just using 34nm NAND and old Intel controller to begin with. It's all much higher density now. Those larger drives at the time used many more chips and channels to the controller. Reply
Casper42 - Saturday, April 14, 2012 - linkTake a look at the recent Z77 Mobo roundup for the upcoming Ivy Bridge release.
Lots of boards there will starts to use it.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Laptops with the same connector in 2 months when Ivy Bridge goes mobile either. Reply
Iketh - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkA refreshingly pleasing article to read :D
I couldn't tell by the article if this drive plugs into a pcie slot and you need an adapter for sata or vise versa, or if i'm even sane in thinking this is possible... Reply
Meaker10 - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkmSATA ports are shaped like mini PCI-e ports and are needed to plug these in. They are in some netbooks already and the new wave of intel motherboards will find a few on there. Reply
kensiko - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkConsidering this SSD would fit well in laptops or ultrabooks, the power consumption is pretty high, too bad. Reply
GreenEnergy - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - link"Micron does not disclose its OEM pricing structure, but a company rep told us that the mSATA version of the C400 would cost a little bit less than the standard SATA versions that are available today."
I could do with a 256GB mSATA SSD only in the mSATA/mPCIe slot. If I didnt own a 300GB SSD 320 series already....
Its just amazing to see. Tiny and powerful. Reply
skildner - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkIf this is actually less than their current lineup of standard SATA versions, that would be amazing. There are a number of good mSATA drives out there, but prices haven't dropped like the standard SATA drives. The Runcore mSATA III would be my pick as it destroys all other mSATA drives, but it's about $2.50/gb. I would really take any second gen mSATA drive though as long as it hovered in the $1/gb range. The OCZ Nocti currently has the best price/performance and is around $1.50/gb. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkI suppose the real question is if they're loss-leadering it to build market share, or if the smaller package actually is meaningfully cheaper to produce. Reply
GreenEnergy - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkIts essentially the same package inside the bigger 2½" SSD. So saving a few $ on casing and such adds to it. But note they said a little bit. Reply
klmccaughey - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkMy mobo only has SATA 2 on the mSata port, and a quick look around it seems this is pretty standard.
Is it still worth it? I already have 2x Vertex 3 128GB, one as C drive and the other as a games drive, but I would love to have a cache as well for my 1TB HD (where most of 250 games from Steam are /juntioned. Reply
iwod - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkNow i really hope Apple would adopt the Marvell controller, or even its next gen controller instead of using Samsung or Toshiba... Reply
Drizzt321 - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkAny clue what the availability is? I've been wanting to put an mSATA as my primary OS for a while, but they seem to top out at 120GB for the OCZ Octi right now, but I really want more. Too bad my notebook only does SATA2 over mSATA :\ Reply
Hubb1e - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkMy Gigabyte board as a mSATA port on it but is limited to 3gb. Is there any performance penalty for going with a 3Gb port? This form facter on a Gigabyte board would be an extremely clean system and is a great way to save some cabling mess in a case but it's not worth it if it's going to be slower. Reply
frostyfiredude - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkEssentially what will happen is the data transfer between your motherboard and SSD will be capped at ~300MB/s. So look though the charts, you will only notice a difference between a 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s port in the loads that allow the drive to push past that ~300MB/s. For this C400/M4 SSD the only time that port difference will be relevant is during sequential reads.
So my take is to not be concerned unless you absolutely need to maximize the performance of sequential reads, because all other aspects of the SSDs performance won't be affected at all. Most desktop loads are fairly random, so I doubt you'll notice a difference in normal use.
For what it's worth, I have a Corsair Force3GT plugged into a 3Gb/s port and it still feels the tiniest amount faster than my parents Crucial M4 which is plugged into a 6Gb/s port. Reply
GreenEnergy - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkAlso raw sequal bandwidth doesnt make SSD fast. Random I/O does aswell as the seektime.
And in 95% of all I/O operations are random I/O. And you get on a good day 50-100MB/sec there. Reply
UltraTech79 - Sunday, April 15, 2012 - link"And in 95% of all I/O operations are random I/O."
You're either an idiot, a liar or both. I'll take Anands' word and common techy sense over yours.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4253/the-crucial-m4-... Reply
QChronoD - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkI think it'd be useful if you added a "standard" hard drive to the power graphs, just so people can more easily see whether it consumes less power than an old platter drive.
Also, have you put any thought to putting up a table that lists the total energy used to complete your benchmarks? I've seen that some of the faster drives draw more power, but wouldn't it sometimes work out that it still uses less energy since it completes the test faster? Reply
Demon-Xanth - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkI would honestly love to see desktop motherboards have a port for these on board, and have the form become common enough that you could just snap one on and eliminate the cables associated with it. SFF PCs could become single board affairs with cabling only for power and an optional optical drive. Reply
dragonfriend0013 - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkNow imagine this attached to a modified Rasberry Pi. Ultra small computer, with storage to boot. And all powered by USB. That will be the day. And to push the envelope further, display using the Google's Project Glass. ULTIMATE!! Reply
bobsmith1492 - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkPower's still a little high to go from USB; USB can deliver 4.5W, while this drive takes up to 4W while writing. That only leaves 0.5W for the rest of the mini-puter. Reply
rs2 - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkSo what exactly does a 36TBW mean, in useful terms?
As in, if the drive is used for the primary OS install, then how long will it typically take to accumulate 36 TB of writes, and what happens when that number is reached? Compared to other drives of similar capacity, is 36TBW good, middling, or poor? Is there any empirical data showing a correlation between SSD longevity and "Endurance Spec"? If so, what is it? Reply
Jambe - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - linkWhat was the drive hooked up to for this test? I would appreciate more upfront methodology recaps in these reviews.
I am also curious as to whether the mSATA ports on motherboards (for example the upcoming Gigabyte Z77 ones) are 3 Gbps or 6 Gbps ports... Reply
AnnonymousCoward - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkWake me up when you decide to do a real world test. You know, the time it takes to do something, like boot up or load a program. That's more meaningful than any synthetic benchmark. Reply
theSeb - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkYou clearly have not been reading this site for very long and don't understand much about SSD performance.
Anandtech used to include those exact benchmarks and they became pointless because in those types of tests the performance across SSDs is nearly the same. I suggest educating yourself before opening your mouth and looking like a luddite. Reply
AnnonymousCoward - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkWhat a foolish response. You're wrong because I have been reading the site for a long time, including the first SSD articles.
Your own words validate my point! If *actual* performance is nearly the same, that's what we want to know!! It's stupid to only look at meaningless graphs that show alleged large differences.
The real performance difference is all that matters. And if that's very small, then we know to buy based on price and reliability! Reply
UltraTech79 - Sunday, April 15, 2012 - linklol boot time and how fast it loads a program? They **ALL** load windows in about 15 seconds from a clean install and all programs open in less than 3 seconds. Photoshop maybe 4. That would be the most retarded benchmark I have ever heard of doing to get a real grasp on how fast these things are and the actual difference between them.
If you understand anything about this stuff, you can determine real world performance from the numbers given. This isnt the old days with screwed up random reads anymore. Look at the I/O ability and get with the program. Reply
AnnonymousCoward - Monday, April 16, 2012 - linkIf they **ALL** load Windows and boot programs at the same speed, what does that say about all these graphs that show alleged large differences? (it says they're bunk, misleading, and stupid) Why do you defend synthetic benchmarks that have no relevance to reality? Reply
mikbe - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - link"Moore's Law ensures that large SSDs can be delivered in small packages."
Moore's Law is an inductive observation not an actual law of physics so it doesn't ensure anything. Reply
AnnonymousCoward - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkThat's also what I thought when I read that. Reply
UltraTech79 - Sunday, April 15, 2012 - linkOh shut up. Reply
spooky2th - Tuesday, April 24, 2012 - linkBoy, would I like to win one these boards! It would be a nice start to a new build. Reply
asawyer13 - Tuesday, June 26, 2012 - linkI am looking at purchasing a higher end Dell XPS 15 laptop. It comes w3rd gen I7 cpu, and 1tb 5400 rpm drive + 128GB mSata drive.
Would it be possible and does it make sense to replace the 1TB 5400 drive with a Crucial m4 512GB SSD???

Former British number one tennis player Elena Baltacha may need a transplant after being diagnosed with cancer of the liver, a health charity warned.
She was diagnosed at the age of 19 with primary sclerosing cholangitis, a chronic liver condition which compromises the immune system.
Baltacha, 30, said in a statement: ''I have recently been diagnosed with cancer of the liver. I'm currently undergoing treatment and fighting this illness with everything I have.''
Ukraine-born, she won 11 singles titles, reached the third round of Wimbledon in 2002 and the same stage of the Australian Open in 2005 and 2010.
Andrew Langford, chief executive of the British Liver Trust, said: "The chances are she will have known for a while that she was at risk of liver cancer because of her PSC (primary sclerosing cholangitis).
"It's a genetic illness that infects your bile duct. You get a back flow of bile into your liver and that causes scarring in your liver. As the liver is more scarred it will be so damaged that you will have cirrhosis.
"Normally when we talk about liver cirrhosis people think about alcohol, but this is definitely not related to alcohol.
"I would imagine she will have a range of treatments. It will be a very difficult time for her and it may be that she eventually needs to have a liver transplant."
According to the British Liver Trust, liver disease is now the fifth biggest cause of death in England and Wales, after heart disease, cancer, stroke and respiratory disease.
Martin Ledwick, head information nurse at Cancer Research UK, said: "We're very sad to hear Elena has been diagnosed with liver cancer. If anyone has questions about the disease, or any other type of cancer, they can visit our website or call our team of cancer nurses free on 0808 800 40 40."
Baltacha reached a career-high ranking of 49 in 2010 and was British number one for 132 weeks between 2009 and 2012.
However, she struggled with injury and illness during her career and retired from the sport in November last year.
She can look to Great Britain Davis Cup player Ross Hutchins for inspiration.
The 29-year-old returned to action earlier this year with doubles partner Colin Fleming after recovering from Hodgkins Lymphoma - a form of cancer.
Hutchins was diagnosed with the illness in December 2012 but announced he was in remission in July.

Typically LiveCycle Rights Management (a.k.a. Policy) protected documents use a userid/password mechanism for authenticating towards the policy server, and consequently open the protected document. A more secure way of authentication can be obtained by using client certificates. A real strong way of authentication can be accomplished when the authentication certificate resides on a smartcard, protected by a PIN code. The authentication certificate on the Belgian eid card is such an example. How can that be used to authenticate towards a Policy protected document?
To achieve this follow these steps:
1) First of all the authentication certificate must be known/registered/uploaded to the LiveCycle server. Open the adminui –> Settings –> Trust Store Management –> Certificates.
When importing the .cer file, specify that you want to trust the certificate for "Certificate Authentication", and provide an alias.
2) Next this certificate must be mapped to an existing user in LiveCycle.
Open the adminui –> Settings –> User Management –> Configuration –> Certificate mapping.
The mapping between a certificate and a user is done for a defined alias, and is accomplished by mapping a certificate attribute (Mail, CN, DN,… ) to a user property (Full Name, Given Name, Mail, login ID, …).
In the case of the Belgian eid card the CN on the authentication certificate contains also the word "Authentication". In my case my CN = Peter Schellemans (Authentication). So in order to get a working certificate mapping towards an existing user, make sure you have a user with a similar Full Name. In my case I have a user (adminui –> Settings –> User Management –> Users and Groups) with First Name = Peter, Last Name = Schellemans (Authentication).
3) Next add this user as part of your Policy. When opening the policy protected document you will now get the choice between userid/password authentication and client certificate authentication.
Tip to stay healthy:
If you want a higher level of security when authenticating towards a policy protected document, Adobe LiveCycle allows you to map certificates towards users, used in a policy definition.

WINTER PARK, Fla. - Saint Leo sophomore Nicole Weber has been recognized as the Sunshine State Conference Women's Swimmer of the Week presented by VALIC.
Weber collected four victories, two NCAA provisional times, broke two school records and one conference record in the Lions' 172-90 win over Rollins. The German-born swimmer set a school record with a winning time of 1:04.25 in the 100-yard breaststroke. Then Weber swam a school and conference record setting time of 2:15.60 to win the 200-yard breaststroke event. Both times were NCAA provisional times. Her 200-yard breaststroke time was .1 seconds away from an NCAA automatic qualifier.
Weber also finished first in the 200-yard IM (2:10.75), and led the 200-yard medley relay team to a first-place finish in a time of 1:54.34.
Weber and the rest of the Lions will have nearly a month to prepare for the Sunshine State Conference Championship which will kick off on Feb. 19 in Orlando at the YMCA Aquatic Center.
