Question about CPU cores

I've had computers since the 98 so I'm not a beginner, but I'm also no computer genius.

I got this new laptop in 2013. So far I have had a few problems with it, but since I also have a desktop computer (works in 32 bit Vista), I could get things to normal by doing some research on google. Nothing major since the last time I restored it to the plant that was in June of this year.

Anyway, recently I came "Open Hardware Monitor" mainly to check the temperature, and I noticed it says that there are only 2 CPU cores. I find it weird because I thought it was supposed to be a Quad-Core.

I was wondering how I can go on double check that and let the other 2 cores? Who would even wise to do?

I don't really like for all the eye-candy as much as I want my machine to be fast and allow multitasking. I also plan to upgrade the RAM at the present time it is still running factory - I think that 6 G, but I would like to upgrade to the best and the best as well.

I have a Samsung's Ext to 5 t hard drive soon and I want to just make sure that my mess is as soon as possible within reasonable limits of course. I try not to fry or something. I want it to run at maximum performance.

In any case, I appreciate any help or advice I can get. Thank you for your time. Amanda

Just uncheck it. The default is to allow all processors to run. Somehow your system has limited the number of operational cores to 2. Uncheck and reboot and recheck the Task Manager

  • Question about CPU Ready time %

    Hello Vmware experts.

    Small question about time loan cpu in esxtop. I have a couple of the virtual machine that has been entrusted to 4 vCPU. When you view their stats in esxtop they indicate the highest term of loan from CPU. I was wondering if this figure is the result of adding the ready time of each vCPU? For example, a 4 x vCPU VM with ready time of 10%, does it really mean 2.5% by vCPU? Should I be concerned about ready time of 10%? I read that the multiple assignment of vCPU can unnecessarily cause time CPU ready. How others decide on how many vCPU they must assign to VM here?

    OK, just realised that was more than just a small question... anyway, would be great if someone could make all this a bit clearer for me.

    Thank you

    BTW, my hosts CPU usage to sit at an average of 25%.

    In vSphere they eased the scheduling of multiple vCPU co even more so that only the vCPU who got ahead of the rest is stopped.  It is always advisable to start with a single vCPU and work your way up if necessary.

    In esxtop you can use the e command to extend the CPU statistics.  In several vCPU machines this will let you see the playing time of each CPU (which should add until you have seen earlier) and it will also allow you to see the % used for each processor.  This should allow you to see if the two vCPU are properly used in a box of vCPU multi.   I had also the CSTP % field shows which is the stop of co and will give you an indiciation of how often vCPU on the machine stopped to allow the other CPU to stand.

  • Satellite 4090xcdt / question about CPU upgading & batteries

    Hello

    I just joined the forum. Looks really good.

    I inherited a satellite 4090xcdt (PAS409EYX-ENX). He had 4 gig ' ish HDD, Celeron CPU (300 or 400 MHZ?), 64 MB of RAM and win 98.

    me and my boyfriend has replaced the HARD drive with 80 GB model (the original was on his last breath), upgrade of RAM as it could by adding a key to 256 MB to the current 64 MB.

    It helps a lot and allows us to run Win XP Home and now added a wireless card.

    2 questions.

    I can get a Celron M 700 MHz processor - I can it whack in the 4090xcdt?

    Is there a good source cheapish of spare batteries - as the mounted one, last about 5 minutes when it is turned off!

    Thnaks for the search - any help appreciated.

    Hello

    OK, I studied a little and it seems that this laptop has an Intel Celeron 400 MhZ CPU.
    To my knowledge it s not advisable to replace the CPU s on the laptop. Some CPU is soldered on the Board.
    Of course, I read some reviews on the replacement of the CPU, and some people were able to replace or upgrade. BUT laptop computers did not work properly. Sometimes, don t cooling modules work or BIOS have had problems with the APCI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface).
    In my opinion you shouldn't do it! Perhaps you may also damage the motherboard.

    Well, you should also always use the Toshiba battery recommended. A bad battery can damage the laptop. As far as I know the battery on this laptop should have these properties:
    Lithium Li-ion 10,8 V, 3, 600 mAh, reference number: PA2487U

    You should be able to buy these batteries in every store of the laptop. Of course, you can also contact the Toshiba ASP in your country. Here, you can order the original.

  • Question about virtual cores

    Sorry if this has been asked somewhere else.  I tried to find the answer but am still confused.

    If I have a virtual host 24 hearts with 3 under VMs.

    I guess the best way to ask my question by describing two hypothetical scenarios.

    Scenario 1: I assign 1 virtual kernel for each machine.

    Scenario 2: I assign 8 Virtual cores for each machine.

    Each VM will have more CPU power in scenario 2?   Now, my assumption is that each virtual machine will be allocated 33% of the CPU in both scenarios, but I fear that scenario #1 will leave a lot of unused CPU power.

    Thank you.

    If I understand correctly, in other words, the amount of GHz... MHz... etc available to VMS is based on the value of the shares, so, based on your two scenarios, each will have 33 percent of the shares. Performance of virtual machines depends on how applications behave in MP. VMs CPU scheduling also changes with the number of vCPUs configured.

    Testing is the best way to answer this question.

    Hello

    The L100 shipped with the Intel Celeron M (Dothan) 360 1.4 GHz FSB 400 CPU. Am I wrong?

    You should check the chipset available! I think that it s an Intel 945 PM but I m not 100% sure.
    On the Intel page, you should find the chipset specifications and might know what s CPU not the chipset supports.

    The outlet plug is very important! A CPU with socket of evil cannot be installed on the Board! But to my knowledge, the l100 motherboard supports socket 478.

    In any case, upgrading the CPU is not easy, very risky and NOT advisable. First of all, you will lose your warranty and then the laptop could run not stable due to overheating!

  • Question about CPU on Tecra 8100

    Hello.

    I think I bought the toshiba tecra 8100 on summer (when I had the money), but I have question. What is this laptop processor?
    I read it as 600 mhz, 700 mhz, 800 mhz and 850 mhz, but what really are? Or it's possible overclock via the bios etc?

    Hello

    I Don t understand the question is what a laptop processor. It s the thing that makes your 'computer' computer or think. No matter what.
    The speed is set in Mhz, so it depends on the model how Mhz, the processor of your machine has.

    The exact clock speed is written on the label on the bottom of your machine. You can also try CPU - Z to determine the exact speed of your processor.

    And NO, not possible to overclock the CPU of machines it s.

  • Satellite Pro 4340 - Question about CPU

    Hi, my problem its:
    -This notebook have usually 600-650 Mhz CPU, but in the information Windows XP Pro system, the result is und 327 Mhz 64 MB RAM

    Und with AIDA 32 program chek the result is 250 MHz (5 x 50).

    I don't understand any more.
    The product standard is around 600 Mhz, or!

    Und for this laptop I have 100 EUROS to pay.

    Thanks for the interested und response

    Hehehe this is a really an oldie I wonder who uses something like that?  :| now in this moment

    I have goggled and found out that this laptop comes with a PIII 650 Mhz CPU.
    Who knows why this processor does not work with a maximum yield maybe the motherboard was already replaced and him correctly DMI was not written in the BIOS or the speed of the CPU was locked in the BIOS or in the Toshiba HWsetup

    But have you tested the speed with other applications? Mayen AIDA 32 program provide results wrong everything is possible!

  • Qosmio G40-108: Question about CPU upgrade

    Dear friends, I am an Italian man who asks if it is possible to change the CPU (T7700) of my Qosmio g40-108 with the new T9300 (like USA G45-AV690)

    All the best
    David

    Hi david

    Please understand that mobile technology is completely different Office of PC technology and motherboards are all just different.
    Upgrading the CPU's especially not possible or very risky for other reasons.

    A main reason could be overheating; as you know the stronger CPU would produce more heat and this could lead to a higher temperature and finally to overheating...

    In addition you BIOS was not configured for other processors so it possible s that your laptop does not start after such update!

    See you soon

  • Satellite U405D - several questions about overheating/disassembly/upgrading etc.

    Hello

    I have several questions about my old one by Satellite U405D-S2910

    1. when it works, after 2-3 hours (I run usually small programs such as safari, msn messenger and bsplayer) CPU gets 85 to 90 C (178-188). When I play age of Empires 2 (come on, its an old game) like 2-3 hours, it stops. What could be the possible reason? Furthermore, let me inform you about the climate of the city I live, 30 c temperature - humidity 25-35% (today).
    PS. CPU is AMD Turion 64 X 2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor. Model RM-74

    2. I'm going to disassemble my laptop in order to clean its cooling units (I think at the rate of overheating is this). It does seem like a desktop computer, so complicated. Ive seen a disassembly not to not (btw, its so difficult to spell dismantling :) I think Im going to do this. What are your suggestions on this subject? experiences could help me?

    3. my laptops is Ram 2x2gb PC5300 DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM memory, I want to replace RAM memory 2x2gb MACH XTREME DDR2 1333 MHZ CL9 NOTEBOOK. Should I do it? Fit my portable, stable work? any suggestions?
    PS. motherboard chipset AMD M780V

    4 - Finally :), should I use OS 64 - bit or 32-bit OS (win7)? what OS would you use if you were me?

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    1 + 2. I think everything is related to a higher internal temperature and you must clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. That is why it s not necessary to remove, just blow softly and soon the air through the laptop. You can buy such compressed air which squirts of each computer store I think and it takes only 5 minutes.
    You can find a useful article about this here:

    3. in my opinion he should forget this update! The speed of the RAM is related to the FSB of the CPU and as much as I know about Satellite U405D it s 667 MHz so it s already the RAM faster than you can have. Save your money and buy a larger HARD drive or in the best case a SSD that can really improve the performance!

    4. in my view, the answer is clear: Windows 7 64-bit.
    Only a 64-bit OS supports full 4 GB of RAM. ;)

  • Question about "Windows 8.1 DG to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit" and Windows product key

    I have acquired a recnet ThinkPad T450 fdrom a retialer online (NCIX) and I hav ea a few questions about the installed Windows operating system.

    Before I just go further, HRE are some information about my particular system.

    Lenovo ThinkPad T450

    Model: 20BV00BUS

    CPU: Intel Core i5-4300U

    RAM: 4 GB

    Under the product description, it was stated "Windows 8.1 DG Windows 7 Pro 64." My understnading, the ThiknPad has been installed with Windows 8.1, but downgraded to Windows 7. There is also a Windows 8 Pro badge sticker at the bottom of the matchine.

    Is it possible, at the end of the user/consumer, to alter the functioning ti repressive back Windows 8.1?

    Can I create a recovery with Windows 8.1 disk?

    A separate but related matter relates to the Windows product key.

    I noticed the Ultrabook do not come with a sticker / label with the Windows product key (i.e. COST). Some quick research indicated that the Windows key is programmed into the BIOS.

    This indeed true (I wish an audit)?

    The key is visible in some way (for when you need to reinstall the operating system. I have not tried to enter the BIOS at the moment)?

    Thank you for taking the time to consider my question.

    Kind regards

    Victor L.

    Hi Victor,

    I'm in the same boat as you type, but want to keep the facilities of Windows 7 rather than pass them to 8. Just like you, I buy our Lenovo from different retailers and they come with windows 7 installed through the Windows 8 lower upgrade program.

    We had one or two laptops come with a recovery media (for windows 8/8.1 only) but have noticed that all laptops now come with no physical media or codes for the recovery. WIN8 stickers, you described is more came with the license key on the sticker (it comes to stop you using the same license again and again, microsoft will get more money if you buy another license etc.). I also saw that the key is essentially located in the BIOS but were not able to test what we use any of windows 8. I use it even at home!

    To answer your question, you can get a recovery of Lenovo for Windows 8 media!

    Go to the following link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/lenovorecovery

    (It help you understand why this method is used on this page as well)

    Select Start,

    Please have your serial number of your laptop, (to find it go to this link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/find-product-name)

    If you qualify (which you will very probably) Lenovo will ship for free, recovery disks give it a go, took me 2 minutes.

    I hope this helps.

    Best regards, Max.

  • Question about RAM

    Hi, I have question about ram because I'm so confused how this works.

    on my computer it says quad core and 6 GB of ram doesn't mean it all to combine them is 6 GB of ram? or each one is 6 GB?

    on my system config it says 6 GB so it means that each of them is 6 GB?

    and could you explain how to work this thing of hearts?

    Hello

    If your laptop is 6 GB of ram, it will mean that it is a 4 GB module in a slot and a 2 GB module in the other.  You can always refer to download and install the application at the link below.

    http://www.CPUID.com/softwares/CPU-z.html

    One time installed, launch the application, click the SPD tab and you will see the size of the memory card in the location selected in the drop-down list.

    More info on multi-core processors can be seen here.  Details in this regard are visible in the CPU tab on the above application.

  • ESXi 5.1 & 5.0 - ordinal number for active Hyperthreaded Intel CPU Core

    OK, I think I asked this before, maybe, about 2 years ago but I don't remember what the answer was.

    So here's the question...

    In a host of CPU 2 where each CPU has 4 cores for a total of 8 cores BUT with technology HT (Hyperthreading) enabled, for a total of 16 cores, how can you determine what core HT is and what the ordinal position?

    I thought that the ordinal went like this...

    CPU 0:

    0 base = true core

    Base 1 = Core HT

    Base 2 = real basic

    Basic 3 = Core HT

    4 basic = true core

    5 core = Core HT

    6 basic = true core

    7 core = Core HT

    CPU 1:

    8 basic = true core

    9 core = Core HT

    Base 10 = true core

    11 core = Core HT

    12 basic = true core

    13 core = Core HT

    14 basic = true core

    15 core = Core HT

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you

    See;

    http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-50/topic/com.VMware.vSphere.resmgmt.doc_50/GUID-3362A2E9-AB03-4C10-B9A1-3E6CA78D399B.html

    Hyperthreading and ESXi hosts

    A host that is enabled for hyperthreading should behave similarly to a host without hyperthreading. You may need to take into consideration certain factors if you enable hyperthreading, however.

    ESXi hosts manage time processor intelligently in order to ensure that the load is distributed smoothly on CPU cores in the system. Logical processors on the same core have consecutive numbers of CPU, so that CPU 0 and 1 are on the first core set, CPU 2 and 3 are on the kernel, second and so on. Virtual machines are preferentially on demand on two different cores rather than on the two logical processors on the same kernel.

    If there is no work for a logical processor, it is put in a stopped state, which releases its resources to enforcement and allows the virtual machine running on the other logical processor on the same kernel to use the resources of the full implementation of the core. VMware scheduler correctly represents for this downtime and the load of a virtual machine running with all the resources of a core more than a virtual machine running on a basis of one half. This approach to processor management ensures that the server does not violate standard ESXi resources allocation rules.

    Consider that your management needs before you enable the processor affinity on servers using hyperthreading. For example, if you link a virtual machine of high priority to the CPU 0 and one other high-priority CPU 1, two virtual machines virtual machine must share the same physical core. In this case, it may be impossible to respect requests for resources of these virtual machines. Ensure that all custom settings affinity of meaning for a hyperthreading system.
