Advantages and Disadvantages of Windows 8.1

-
Windows 8.1 have become quite a common topic among PC users. Some of us are marveling at the modern UI of windows 8 and the newer release, windows 8.1, while others are keen to find an excuse to hate windows 8 and 8.1. You will have to look no further than this post to find reasons to like or hate windows 8.1 First, reasons to consider Windows 8.1- ·          Modernistic User Interface ·          Exceptionally fast Operations System. ·          Improved performance to that of windows 8. ·          The feature “fast boot”, when enabled can boot up your PC under 4 seconds! Provided your hard disk is not too slow. It works like the hibernation mode only that ir doesn’t use up 4 GB of your hard disk space! ·          Microsoft has finally added the start button, though the start menu is not back, considering the wide criticism about Microsoft’s approach to a new OS, Windows 8. ·          On right clicking the start button, you can directly go to power options (shut down, re

  CPU Benchmarks Before we get into the benchmarks, here is a specification comparison of the 3 processors (the dual core Phenom II X2 550 will be compared in a separate section). Starting off with the popular Cinebench benchmarks, Ryzen 5 5600X gets off to a flying start (more than flying start I should say) with a 319% lead over Phenom II X6 1055T in Cinebench R15. This goes on to show how misleading CPU comparison by core count can be.   Though both the processors are hexa-core parts, the performance disparity of over 4 times tells a different story which cannot be discerned by core count alone. Even with Simultaneous Multi-threading (SMT) disabled, I recon 5600X will still score more than double that of 1055T.  Moving on to Cinebench R20, we see more of the same. Single-core score of 5600X is much closer to the multi-core score of 1055T than its single-core score. That statement alone summarizes the graph quite nicely. 5600X was 223% faster than 1055T in single-core with its multi-

Phenom vs Ryzen: Hexa-cores a decade apart (Part 9)

 Conclusion While this article isn't comparable to the high standards of professional review, we still got some insight into the performance of Ryzen 5 5600X over the Phenom II 1055T. Over the course of this article, we saw the 5600X utterly dominate the decade old 1055T in everything we threw at it (well, I threw; you saw). Even though that is to be expected, the performance contrast between the two hexa-core processors and the absolute margins were still amazing( for me at least)  to look at!  AMD has come a long way to correct its misstep with the bulldozer architecture(the FX series). With a mountain to climb, AMD with Dr. Lisa Su at the helm laid the groundworks with the first generation of Ryzen. Flaunting a massive 52% IPC increase over the FX series, AMD took a giant leap to close the margins with Intel. Then on, its been one victory over another for AMD. Naysayers were left clinging to Intel's IPC and lightly-threaded workload (read: gaming) lead until the Ryzen 5000 s
