Reliability Test On Notebook Intel Core i5

Product Reviews Acer Aspire 4740 G


Notebook that uses an Intel Core i5 is already widely beredaran in the market. This class notebook is aimed at users of any portable hobby kompter treat a variety of digital content. Whether it's image manipulation, processing, instrument sounds, to do video editing. The presence of Intel Core i5.




For the desktop version, may be core i5 has shown its fangs with a few of the features offered. Starting from Turbo Boost ability, the ability of Hyper-Threading, so low energy consumption, the mainstay product. But what about their performance on a notebook?


To test its capabilities, detikINET tried a variety of heavy applications such as 3D Mark 2006 until the method of computation of large data in Microsoft Excel by using 4740G notebook Aspire.




Acer Aspire 4740 G, has been using an Intel Core i5 430M which has a speed of 2.27 GHz. Processors of this type has also adopted new technologies such as small fabrication process, 32nm.


Diboyongnya features that are not far adrift with the desktop version, from Hyper-Threading capabilities, Turbo Boost, Memory Controller is integrated, so that low energy consumption.


Judging from the features provided, it will not be surprised if Intel processors claim they can meet the needs of portable computer users who prioritize, powerful performance with low energy consumption.


In the specifications listed, the Intel Core i5 430M would profiteer energy of about 35 watts. This species is slightly higher compared to brothers Core i5 520UM which requires only 18 watts.


However, in experiments performed detikINET i5 Core processor notebook with 430M can survive almost three hours when done for browsing with Wi-Fi, while listening to favorite songs through Windows Media Player and do light work with Microsoft Office.




After playing with the battery endurance, detikINET test the ability of this processor with the test applications are like CineBench, PC Mark Vantage, to use the 3D Mark 2006.


Figures produced was regarded satisfactory. Though not very high, but this processor is still good enough to handle a variety of needs such as gaming mild to severe grade calculation calculations.


But unfortunately, his ability singlecore not far adrift from the previous series. This can be proved when doing penggujian on CineBench where Core i5 430M gain digit gain in 2626 and 2742 T9400 (smaller is better).


Maybe there is a noticeable difference is very trivial, but please note that not all applications can take advantage of capabilities that multicore processors later on.


Testing is then performed with the simulation calculation of large data using Microsoft Excel. The result, Core i5 able to complete a given task in just 14 seconds. Or four seconds faster than the Intel T9400.


So whether this processor is powerful enough can be said? Viewed from the ability shown, this processor can still show the 'fangs' to handle the heavy duties, or the game lightly.


Despite its ability singlecore not too good, but the various changes from the previous series makes this processor deserve to be considered.


Pros:
+ Saving Energy
+ No heat
Overall good + Performance


Disadvantages:
- Single Core Capability less


Benchmark Results:


CineBench R10
1-CPU Rendering: C2626
X-CPU Rendering: C6294


PC Mark Vantage: 4829


3D Mark 2006: 2077


Excel 2007 Number Crunch: 14 seconds
