Quad core CPU in x230T?

I realize that even if it were possible, cooling would be the main problem. But I'm curious to know if, say, an i7-3612QM might work in the socket on the mobo. It is rated at 35W, just like the i5 - 3320 m currently installed in mine. Via Intel ARK, they should both work in the socket on motherboard of the x230T 988.

All X series ThinkPad, compressed or not, have the welded CPU on the card and not recessed them. This has been the case since the time of X 20, nearly 15 years ago.

So no, you can't swap the CPU unless you are in possession of re-balling appropriate as well as the skills to use it.

In addition, BIOS support for a quad-core processor must exist, which I doubt is the case on X series.

  • Re: Qosmio G50-10 t: How can I use the Quad - Core CPU Toshiba HD?

    Hello.

    And how you can use several Toshiba Quad Core HD processor with four RISC SIMD 128-bit processors in the Qosmio G50-10 t except that: enables support for H.264 encoders / HD / MPEG2 decoders, with functions for convert, transcode, navigate using the face (Face Navigation) detection and control actions. INJURY is not used!

    Maybe someone knows some software sales in which it could be used.

    Hello

    This Quad Core CPU is an additional processor that is not always in use.
    It was designed in the order using the main processor in some of the media process.
    For example, the Quad Core CPU works during the encoding or decoding of certain video standards. If you want to change it the standard of the video, the Quad Core CPU helps you complete this quick procedure.

    In addition, it improves the quality of the video (not HD). So, theoretically, you can view the videos in HD quality.
    Of course, you won't get the same quality as a film that has been recorded in full HD, but the Quad Core helps you improve the 576i pictures.

  • Can satellite U400 - I switch to a quad core CPU?

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite U400, and I was wondering if I could move the CPU on a quad core processor.

    * is it physically possible? that is, fit the plug? It seems that the Q9xxx and the T5750 share the same socket but maybe he ore other parameters to look for.
    * How can I check if the motherboard supports the Q9xxx? I should probably need a BIOS upgrade: what is the difference between a win32 and win64 bios? I could guess that has something to do with the target OS, but should I assume that the "win64" adapts to any OS 64-bit-ready (i.e. linux, * bsd)?
    * are there significant losses in the battery life?
    Thanks in advance

    > in any case, is there a way to check if the BIOS / motherboard supports a quad core CPU?
    You will not find any information about the BIOS and CPU support on Toshiba pages.
    The BIOS has been designed the U400 and CPU that is equipped with the U400 series.

    I put t know which chipset your U400 is compatible but my U400 supports Intel GM965 chipset, and the Intel GM965 supports the same features as Intel PM965 chipset.
    http://www.Intel.com/assets/PDF/datasheet/316273.PDF

    The Intel PM965 chipset supports the processor Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile for Mobile Intel 965 express chipset family.
    The Quad core CPU is not mentioned. So, it seems that these processors are not supported!

  • Can games i run well with an a4 5000 quad core cpu AMD processor?

    Hello, I have an aser aspire laptop e1 - 522 and I want to use it for some games. If everything is fine, I'll be able to get a gaming pc but if I usually I want to know this: I have an amd a4 5000 apu quad core cpu and it has 512 MB memory syestem grphics. I have also 4 GB of ram at 800 mhz. If I move to 8 GB 1600 mhz ram I'll be able to... play cod 4, 5, and 2 setting ultra 720 p (1080 p maby) at 40 to 60 fps. also I want to be able to play transformers wfc and jib to medium to low 720 p at 40-50 fps. my laptop apu can do with ram upgrade?

    Thank you.

    Looks like your computer is more than capable of some great games. If you were to do something, my first upgrade would be to double your RAM 8 GB.

  • Unique use of VM CPU on the system dual quad core CPU

    My environment: two machines, a Dell 2950 with dual quad core CPU, running ESX 4.0 Advanced.

    Machine 1 to several virtual machines on it.

    Machine 2 has a virtual machine that hosts a .NET/IIS web application built by an external supplier. The web application is having performance issues (users requests take a long time to complete in some cases). I suspect, without having yet done an in-depth, analysis is that the web application is not well resolved/optimized/designed.

    The declared owner of hardware requirements is exactly how Machine 2 is - dual quad core CPU. However - There's the rub: I did not understand if a single virtual machine running on this computer can actually use all the resources, particularly CPU resources, on the machine. And my application provider takes that position - since we have not met the minimum hardware requirements for the application, which can be the cause of the poor performance, which means that the seller has no responsibility for the performance issue.

    I tried to understand/consider the Enterprise more than vSphere edition, because it seems possible that only this version of vSphere would allow me to assign all the hearts of all the processors from the server to the computer virtual one. However, this seems like overkill, and also, after some reading on the SMP of Enterprise Plus features, it seems, as using SMP can help in some cases and poorly in others.

    Right now I'm looking to remove vmware Machine 2 and just install the application on the machine, in order to eliminate the possibility that vmware restricts the application to all physical resources (CPU). But I thought I'd ask a glimpse of this group first.

    Any input appreciated.

    Thank you

    Brad Harding

    Each physical core (or "core" hyperthreading) is considered to be one vCPU. You will therefore 8 vCPUs in your system (assuming hyperthreading is not enabled). However, you can approve vCPU which means that you can run several virtual machines than available vCPUs. This is because you do not usually have the VMs that need all the power of the processor, and they can be used more efficiently with VMware planning the vCPUs.

  • Quad Core CPU - how is used by workstation?

    I just bought a new machine with a quad core CPU.

    I know that Workstation only supports a maximum of two hearts. What I don't know is: what does that mean? That means, that if I would have four virtual machines running...

    1. they all do they share only the first two nuclei of the four cores available?
      .

    2. or each of them uses a distinct nucleus? (or two hearts arbitrary if I would assign two to a virtual machine)

    Please enlighten me!

    No, my computer supports a maximum of two virtual processors. All physical hearts are deemed be a CPU for the guest operating system. So if your have four hearts in your application assigned to the guest host and two vCPU it there always uses two cores at one point of time.

  • SOS - NVidia Chipset, Vista 64-bit, Intel Quad core CPU & > 4 GB RAM questions

    Hello!
    One cannot explain the question about more than 4 GB of RAM, 64-bit Vista Ultimate, NVidia Chipset and Intel Core 2 Quad CPU.
    I have a MSI P6N SLI Motherboard (NVidia Nforce 650i SLI Chipset) with 6 GB of RAM DDR2 800, Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU, 2 x GeForce 8600GT in SLI Mode.
    32 bit Vista ultimate works fine with my PC, but whenever I try to install a 64-bit windows vista Ultimate Edition, a BSOD with the STOP error message is displayed. Not much happens if the RAM is reduced to 3 GB. The most strange, when I tried to install Windows 7 in this same configuration, there was no this problem.

    Kind regards...

    Hello

    There is an error in timing known when installing Vista 64 bit on a system with all the ram slots 4 full on a card mother dual channel. It has nothing to do with the size of the total ram. The simple solution is to install x 64 with only the two bench 0 Visa slots filled, and then add the other two sticks back when the installation is complete.

  • Should I expect the 64-bit version of 32bitor for my Windows 7 Ultimate? I have a Quad Core CPU.

    32 bit 64 bit. Windows 7 Ultimate. Quad Core Samsung.

    In general, it is preferable to use the 64-bit version, unless there are some very special reasons of not (for example, a critical piece of hardware that offers only one driver 32-bit).   He runs the 32-bit software and also allow the possibility of using 64-bit programs.  The 64-bit version can support more RAM and provides a path for growth in the longer term.

  • Imitate the Quad Cores

    Hi all

    I hope I have explained this properly... we're all here:

    We were asked to bring a 2 pieces of software in our field who will sit to ESXi, but requires a QUAD Core processor each... If I allocate a vCPU to this distribution of stocks of high box will not imitate multi hearts it will be? This will allow only that he calls the time CPU. That Said if I can get a server with hyperthreading I could then put affinty cpu? and this would allow the software see 1 quad core cpu?

    I hope I explained this corretly

    Only closer image aping is assiging four vCPUs to VM - the ESX host sxhedules each vCPU core or Hyperthreaded if HT is enabled - which application is this > from my experience, I think you will find the application will be fine with a single vCPU.

  • Multi-core CPU: this is an important factor?

    Hello

    I guess the CPU multi-core is probably important. But is there a rule or guidelines? I would be grateful any entry about the experience of the use of multi-core processors in a virtual machine (as a workstation or server) environment. In all the scenarios below, we assume that the memory sharp and e/s disk are satisfactory. I would like to isolate the factor of the CPU.

    Q1. A two CPU cores is equivalent to two physical CPU core?

    Q2. Number of vs. frequency of the processor cores: which is more important to run VM? Example: 2 hearts to hearts vs 4 3 GHz to 2.33 GHz

    Q3. How is the "engine" of the virtual machine using muti-core with regard to the number of virtual machines running? Is it true to say more "better cores?

    Example 1: host has 4 cores of CPU 1, 2 running virtual machines (what a waste of CPU resources?)

    Example2: host has 4 cores of the processor 1, 6 running virtual machines

    Q4. (Phenom2, Core 2, Xeon, i7) CPU architecture: the "engine" of the VM uses these CPU everything too, or is there someone who is particularly well suited for running virtual machines?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Q1 - Yes - ESX/ESXi treat each heart as a logical processor and plan virtual processors to these logical processors

    T2 - both are important - the vmkernel treats views CPU as a pool of cycles - 4 2.33 GHz is a pool of 9,32 GHz while 2 x 3 GHz is a pool of 6 GHz so as long as a virtual CPU has not a complete CPU - a virtual CPU can run on one heart at a time, so a 3 GHz core will be able to provide 3 GHz to a virtual computer

    Q3 - Yes more cores is better - the 'VM engine' called the vmkernel will plan the virtual machines between all hearts - VMware recommended 4 to 8 virtual processors per core according to load - so a single quad core cpu can support 16 to 32 virtual processors according to the load

    Q4 - he use them all as well - it will benefit from new technology of virtualization being in current technology chips.

  • CPU dual core quad core replace on the radiator? Mini Tower Optiplex 755

    Hi, I am currently using a dual core 6850 and I think to buy a quad core. I have a 500W PSU as a spare.

    Can I replace the CPU on a Quad Core without changing the cooling system?

    heinflhs

    Here are the specifications of the replacement PSU part. Are they not better than the original power SUPPLY Dell block?

    This power supply is ATX and not EPS12V

    Better is not the issue.  Dell power supplys 80% efficient are not 70% ATX.  The - 5v rail is a question too although it may cause a fire from the motherboard or damage your system.  Its a dead giveaway that this is a power ensure between 1990 and 2000.

    This current is on track is not negligible. There is a single 12V RAIL on that unit and its maximum is 17A

    EPS 12V units have multiple @ 18 amps 12V rails each.  MAX Power on 12V rails is 264w not 204w

    This unit has much more on the 5V and 3.3V rails at the expense of the independent 12V rails and CPU 4 pin. So not this emergency equipment is not likely to work well or not at all.

    Recommended update or replacement is EVGA 750B 1

  • Is temp CPU to 131-140 iron an AMD Athlon II X 4 620 2.6 GHz Quad - Core Processor normal or high?

    I have just instlalled an AMD Athlon II X 4 620 2.6 GHz Quad - Core (ADX620WFK42GI) instead of my 2 215 dual core athlon processor and my temporary hoovers around iron 131-140. is this normal operating temp?   Cause now my CPU fan turns up every 5 minutes for about 5 min and it never ran full front

    As tetraethyle3 says, if you use the one provided with the dual core cpu, it can
    be insufficient. Dual-core coolers are similar, but not the same thing.
    However, you may have gotten the paste application heat badly too.
    There are tutorials of application of thermal paste on the i-net.

    Try a Coolermaster EVO Hyper 212.
    They are well regarded as a good value for the effective cooler money. You have to
    remove the motherboard to mount, unless you have a case with a hole in the motherboard tray to allow replacement of cooler.

    All three AMD I've used for the Athlon 64 came out slowed in the bass
    40 c in summer, but my Phenom 965 now stands at 35 ° C (temperature of 22 c air).
    In the summer with temperatures of air between 28-32 + C it will hit 60-65 ° C under full load.
    The stock AMD cooler also kept the 965 at similar times, but unlike my previous
    AMD coolers the fan was loud, so I installed a Noctua U9 with fan only.

    ESX/ESXi are hypervisors 'bare metal '... You get only a based on linux with ESX service console, and you only have an interface very (very) minimum on ESXi (for the configuration of the host, do NOT use any VM)... You connect to the virtual machine running on ESX/ESXi via vSphere Client, run on a second system. The rest of the products such as VMware Player and even the Server VMware Workstation (which is NOT ESX/ESXi) allow you to run virtual machines on a host operating system. With ESX/ESXi, which IS the host OS, so there is nothing else to use.

    If you do not have a second decent system to use to run the vSphere Client, then I opt to go with VMware Workstation and run 32 bit VM on it. Max memory on the system (so you can give more to VM) and put a minimum on the host operating system.

    In General, ESX/ESXi is used on the server class (or upper class of workstation level) / hardware systems. I've had excellent results running ESXi on a Dell Precision Workstation T7400 for a couple of years now. I use my PWS490 to launch the vSphere Client to administer the host and connect to the virtual machine running on it. I could start my XPS 720 Tower out of a USB flash drive that I installed ESXi 4 on... You might try to go this route, to see if you can even install it and run it on your system (this will be the least destructive test method)... You can find instructions here... I suggest to use the method to install ESXi on a USB directly from the installation CD as this should be less problematic. I did successfully on a 2 GB USB flash drive not long ago... I plan to do with ESXi 4.1 soon (could opt for a 4 GB flash drive this time)...

    You will still need to test it with another system to connect to the host if you plan to run virtual machines on ESX/ESXi however...
