Pavilion 550z: is the A6 AMD processor - 8550 Quad Core or not?

I am mixes signals that the AMD a6-8550 processor is Quad Core or not.  As I read the document of AMD for this processor, I see that it contains 2 CPU and 4 GPU (a "APU" using architecture HSA).  But in the announcement of HP, it explicitly says "Quad Core".

I was under the assumption that the GPU are used for video processing, but the documentation AMD says that the GPU use also for general treatment.

I'm not a 'gamer', and I wanted a machine at a reasonable price (the 550z Pavilion) to run several virtual OS, so having 4 cores was very attractive to me.

Can someone clarify the situation?  Thank you.

Hello

It has 2 cores:

  • Pavilion s5-1015uk: the upgrade of processor

    That's because an Intel Core i7 2xxx option isted in the motherboard specifications published includes not a processor Intel Core i7 - 2600K or 2600M 2600 s

    You should not need a power supply upgrade. But just in case, open your PC and display the information on the label of power such as the amperage supply total wattage and 12v.

  • Processor AMD Phenom 9150e Quad-Core

    I want to update my previous post. HP support has just informed me that my processor has four-processor 1.8 ghz, integrated into a processor and it will run to approximately 6 GHz. From my calculations, if that were true, it should work to 7.2 ghz. It seems that I get a different answer depending on who reads my email. What I want to know is can I run a TV tuner card thatrewuires a 2.2 ghz processor, but I can't get them to answer this question. Help!

    I just replied to your previous post:

    Everything I've seen says a 1.8 ghz processor, but it's a Quad Core. Probably the specs say you need a processor 2.2 ghz P4 or something like that. The processor you have is much faster than a single core 2.2 ghz cpu. I would be shocked if she can't handle a tv tuner.

    You can only install the processor AMD Phenom 9350 X 4 in addition to what you have. It is 2 ghz and not worth the hassle of upgrading.

    HP response is not exactly true. You can't just multiply by the number of hearts clock speed... it's not as simple as that. But in the concept, it is true that a Quad Core (4 processors on the same chip) is much faster than 1 core the same speed as I said above. You have a very powerful computer. There is never the fastest for more than a day or 2 it seems but yours is certainly in the top 4 or 5% of all the computers in the House over yonder. Next year, it will be in the top 10% and the year after, etc.

  • Would you buy the 27 "iMac 3.2 quad core i5 OR the 21.5" iMac 3.3 quad core i7?

    I'm trying to decide between two iMacs, costs are roughly equal:

    16 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 SDRAM

    AMD Radeon R9 M380 with 2 GB of video memory

    OR

    Which would you buy?

    Thanks in advance!

    I go for the iMac 27 "just because of the ram is expandable and you are able to cram 64 GB of ram in the beast...

    Hello

    I don't plan on specific issues.  You will need to reuse the existing heatsink.

    Review a couple of uTube videos of Intel i7-2600 installation so that you get the feel of what you need to do.

    I suggest that you plan to install latest BIOS update for your PC and your PC stable before you proceed with the replacement of the processor.  It could not hurt to run diagnostics to make sure that your PC hardware is stable.

    If you experience problems after installing, then try to clear the CMOS memory.

  • Processor Quad-Core HD Qosmio G50 and gesture of the controller error

    Hello
    I have a Qosmio G50 - 10v. For gesture controller request from the Toshiba.I site, I installed a gesture controller driver tried the English and German version, but for the Quad Core HD processor shows error. The message is
    like the following"Im Toshiba quad core HD processor Fehler aufgetreten ist. (CODE = 0X800A0100)
    Later, I formatted the pc and reinstalled the processor image driver and motion controller. When I open a Toshiba DVD player and watch DVDs, Quad core does not work and quad core shows 0%. So I watch movies with low definition.
    Please help me...
    How can I install the Quad core HD processor and controller of gesture?

    The "Toshiba Quad Core HD processor" gadget works when I've been upgraded / decommissioning or other video processing in the "Toshiba graphic Video Library»

    To check this, click on the red arrow on the left side of the gadget, click on "library graphic video Toshiba", right click on a video and select "vidéo Processing", then try and upconvert or downgrade a video according to what kind of video it is.

    Simple treatment should see the upper left quadrant the gadget turn orange or red while showing a percentage. Complex treatment, perhaps using one of the other programs in the menu drop down the gadget can do all four quadrants of the gadget actively processing colors/percentage of changes. I saw all active quadrant during certain functions of video processing. I've not seen it activates when not video processing.

    The program that you are running appears in the white box in the gadget under "request of race."

    No BIOS updates to the still for your 320-1030 TS, based on 'Software downloads & Driver for HP TouchSmart 320-1030 desktop'. Do not expect to see an update that supports a CPU "unlocked" as HP does not generally support this configuration.

  • Can I have processor Xeon L5506, 2.13 GHz, 4 MB Cache and Intel Xeon E5507 SLBKC Quad-Core 2.27 GHz on the same map.

    While trying to study for server + cert I picked up a PowerEdge R710 with an installed L5506 .  While half asleep at the reading of all the tech manuals I could locate on the configuration of the RAM I ordered ram and other treatment of E5507 (thought I was ordering the same processor that has been installed but messed up and ordered E5507 not the L5506).  Was tired of trying to let all the rules concerning the memory locations to use and served a bit worrying type of socket being this is the first time I will address a multi processor main Board.

    Is it possible to have both installed on the R710 Board or they play well with each other?  It seems they would be not based on information from another forum and something on the site of CPU upgrade.

    Any help is greatly appreciated I don't mind even after a link and do the research myself just need advice.  This community seems great and am happy to join.

    Thank you

    Hello.

    The SLBKC of E5507, Xeon Quad - Core Intel 2.27 GHz is not a supported on the R710 server processor. When you use more than 1 CPU, processors must match in each specification. See below taken processors supported on this server. Consider buying another L5506 treatment instead.

  • Pavilion G4 w / AMD processor - where can I find a driver for the SM Bus controller?

    Bought a G4 Pavilion - 1164CA and upgraded the HD with SSD

    and did a new install of Windows 7 x 64 Premium.

    The model has a processor AMD A6 - 3400M.

    Device Manager shows that a driver is missing for SM Bus controller.

    I checked the drivers HP page for the model but no chipset or the SM Bus controller driver is...

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=5148...

    Note: I did a clean install of Windows 7 x 64, not a recovery, read a recovery to a smaller HD would not be possible and also would prefer a clean without all the extras install as the SSD space is limited at first.

    Suggestions to find a driver for SM Bus controller for this model with an AMD processor and chipset?

    Looks like the SM Bus driver is part of the graphics driver.

  • HP Pavilion p7-1254: upgrade to the best possible processor for my motherboard

    Hello, I so had a question about upgrading my processor. I looked at the HP site on my motherboard and I saw all the processors possible it could support. However, I just had a question for whether or not he could support this specific CPU, even if it is NOT on the list:

    AMD A8 - 3870K APU with AMD Radeon 6550 HD Graphics unlocked 3.0GHz Socket FM1 100W processor Quad-Core - retail - AD3870WNGXBOX

    At the moment my processor is: AMD A6 - 3620 APU with graphics Radeon (TM) HD (4 CPUs), ~2.2GHz

    If the motherboard can support a 8 A 3850 APU, I think that the A-8 3870 K wouldn't be too far, but still, I'm not sure that's why I'm here. If there are better options than the image AMD Llano A8-3850, please share with me and let me know!

    Thank you very much for your answers!

    You must take the manual at face value. Other processors not listed may work, but it is at your own risk. I would setup just high processor you are sure will work. The A8-3850 will be a vast improvement on the A6. The A8 - 3870K would be faster,.1 right ghz... 2.9 vs 3.0 ghz?
