What spefisikasi hardware?
Processor Intel vs. AMD? Lots of debate about these companies. But in fact these companies are making the best processors in the world and competed with each other to develop the best type of processor. Currently Intel processors for notebooks, have better technology to save battery. But most users will have no difficulty whatever brand of processor. Because there is no noticeable difference in performance between the two. Notebooks with AMD processors are usually cheaper.
Latest Intel Mobile Processor Technology • Pentium M (Dothan) - Used in noteboook produced around the year 2004. This technology is made specifically for use in notebook and the power needed to operate with smaller and cooler than its predecessor. • Celeron M (Dothan and Yonah) - single-core processor (single core) are cheap, suitable for running nearly all the basic applications, such as office and graphic arts. But not able to support heavy applications. • Core Solo (Yonah) - Processors cheap structure made from the Core Duo, but only has 1 CPU core active. Core Solo replaces the Pentium M in 2006. • Core Duo (Yonah) - dual-core technology (two core), the first of Intel. Core Duo (32-bit) to make 2 active CPUs on 1 processor without increasing power consumption. • Core 2 Duo (Merom) - 64-bit version of the Core Duo processor, performance is slightly better than the Core Duo processor and can run Windows Vista and other 64-bit applications.
Technology AMD's Latest Mobile Processors • Sempron - Processor 1 core cheap long contained in notebook. In lieu of the Athlon. The latest version supports 64-bit applications. • Turion 64 - 1 core processor, 64-bit with lower power consumption than Sempron • Turion 64 x2 - Version Dual Core, Turion 64-bit from
GPU Nvidia vs. ATI? This is a topic of debate are also popular. Both produce good graphics card. Nvidia better in OpenGL technology and support for Linux. While ATI has a better ability in the game, anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering. There are no strong differences between them.
