intel i-7 10510u vs 10710u
10510u - 1.8 ghz base clock with 4.90 ghz boost
4 cores (8 threads)

10710u - 1.1 ghz base clock with 4.70 ghz boost
6 cores (12 threads)

i know that 10710u is better (a bit more expensive but much faster from what intel is saying) but i've also seen posts that some laptop with 6 cores that actually doesn't use or require 6 cores depending on the program running or multiple tasks opened up. 

my question is if i were to do some simple multitasking such as running 2 videos (dual monitor) and have some chrome tabs opened up for work would intel i7 10710u be an overkill or is it a safe investment. 

asking because there is a laptop with 4k uhd with 10510u cpu 
and a 1080p fhd with 10710u cpu

would it be beneficial for me to invest in a 4k uhd laptop with lesser core processors to accomplish my task, or sacrifice the 4k uhd for a processor with more cores so that it would actually hold up when i am working/streaming simultaneously.

at most, heavy programs i would be running is autocad and maybe adobe photoshop
while the 10710u is more powerful, the 10510u is enough for browsing and other office tasks. if you're mostly gonna be browsing or watching movies, both of them will do just fine. but uhd display gives the 10510u an extra advantage.
but if you're gonna be playing games or creating/editing multimedia contents(or 3d renders), the extra power of 10710u will be very handy.
just normal use may be a bit of light to mid gaming and small projects with photoshop i also want to try and work with adobe video editors i'm a student after all

honestly, all of these laptops are really just designed for web browsing and office. none of them are going to be able to play current aaa games. some indie games, but not current high end games. 

i would go with this one:

hp i5-7200u 8gb ddr4 1tb amd radeon r7 m440 4gb ddr3 760.52 usd

mainly, they are all about the same and it is cheaper. but this one has enough ram and dedicated gpu to do some light gaming. the 7500u model just has a higher clock cpu, it is not worth an extra $120. it is a dual core cpu, so video editing will be a challenge.

the 8250u is a 4 core/8 thread cpu. but with integrated graphics and 4gb of ram, those will be your bottlnecks in most cases. the extra threads will help with video editing, over the other cpus, but you may have issues due to limited ram. neither of them. much higher specs than you actually need. core i3 with 8 gb ddr ram and an ssd hd all for less than $500 should be more than enough for your uses. no, the top one is not worth it.

the core i7 990x is a very expensive cpu that's ideal for hardcore number crunching, 3d design/rendering and media encoding. but it's not future-proof by any stretch of imagination, that socket is already obsolete.

for everyday use and gaming, the core i5 2500k is the best bang/buck processor on the market.

if you're building a rig for movie editing or working in maya/3d studio max/blender, you're probably still better off with the core i7 2600k than the 990x because of the huge price disparity. the $700 difference in price corresponds to a small difference in overall performance. for that money you could have a professional workstation graphics card, triple the ram etc.

for gaming, the most important component in your build is the graphics card, and i don't see one listed? roughly 70% of gaming performance is determined by your graphics card. for gaming, even a core i5 2400 with a radeon hd 6970 or gtx 570 is far superior to the more expensive 990x with some $110 graphics card like a radeon hd 5750 or geforce gts 450.

anyway, it's not possible to buy any computer hardware that will still be considered "great" 5+ years later. you want something great by today's standards, on a socket which provides good upgrade options a couple of years down the road. you may not need to upgrade so quickly, but you'd be able to- that's how you get a system to last 5+ years.

ivy bridge will be released in the next few months, and that will outperform sandy bridge. stick with the 2500k but still use your lower end mid-range 5770. the gaming performance is not any better when one looks at them side by side http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/288?vs=287 . when only 100mhz separates the two overclocking the 2500k makes up the negligible difference and can then be pushed up 1ghz more just on air. continue saving for a better card. the 6870 is still settling for mid range located smack dab in the center of mediocreville. wait for a 670 or 680 keplar series gpu's from nvidia or invest in the 7970. any of those cards with 3gb of vram is going to add a huge future proof cushion. buy a z68 http://www.techpowerup.com/161073/msi-s-entire-z68-(g3)-h61-(g3)-series-motherboard-supports-intel-s-22-nm-processors.html or http://www.gigabyte.com/press-center/news-page.aspx?nid=1048 which will support their newer pci 3.0 system requirements.after you have your next generation keplar or southern islands video cards like the 7970 it's time to save up for the ivy bridge upgrade along with the necessary bios revision. you are going to be saving $100 off the top by going for a 2500k instead of the 2600k that you can immediately apply to your stash for your better gfx card in the future. i would skip right over the 6970's, 580's and 90's and well anything except the newest cards. while your saving it also gives the newly released cards or processors time to show any bugs like sandy had. if you are thinking about overclocking like a science lab it is simply

enter bios via delete, f1 or whatever your default key is to enter "setup"/bios, click huge button that says overclocking, change the multiplier from 33 to 44 and then f10 to save and exit. <https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000006685/server-products.html>

﻿ i think it’s too early to think about h.266.

in any case if it will be supported then you need new hardware. Are you using drivers released by and/or approved by you laptop vendor? Or are you using later generic drivers from the Intel and Nvidia sites? If the latter, well, that's likely your problem. Go back and test again with drivers from your laptop vendor.

[View solution in original post](/t5/Graphics/Problem-with-Intel-UHD-Graphics-630/m-p/1227288#M91445) there is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue any more.

hence we are closing this topic. if need further support, please open a new one.

thanks

what’s the frame rate? have you try boost the system to performance mode to try? left over pc running freenas.firmware and settings are on a usb stick, not the drive.lots of features/options you don't need, but does what you want simply and cheaply.    slightly more $$ in terms of electricity cost unless the leftover pc is a laptop, but zero $ outlay, and your data is portable and accessible.
