Can anyone explain the difference between the i5-1240P and the 1250P? They seem to have the same core arrangement and clock speeds. Not to mention how bizarre it is that there's also a 1260P and a 1270P both with extremely minor differences in P and E clocks.

WhyteRyce posted:It’s a fire sale Depending on the price of the CPU, it's not actually a very good deal at all, given that an Optane will steal a bunch of PCIe lanes for no benefit.

I work in an organisation of purported technology specialists and people will go through a stack of laptops looking for the i7 without pay any attention to the generation, and complaining that their new laptop is an i5 when they have no use for GPU cores.

For sure, but maybe you should punch "i5-1145G7" into Ark before you bitch that your old machine was a (5th gen) i7.

SwissArmyDruid posted:a combination oculink and thunderbolt egpu dock hit the market, and after benchmarks, it's not even funny how much bandwidth thunderbolt overhead consumes, which makes one wonder, why consumers even let it get to market dominance in the first place. I don't think consumers had much say in the matter. I'd also somewhat question TB having "dominance". Apart from being widely used in a corporate setting for laptop docks, it really doesn't have much penetration. Consumer usage of TB devices has to be extremely minimal.

Beef posted:It's dumb how good that branding works. There are constantly people saying that their laptop is still good because it's an i7 or i9 without having a clue that there are generations. We shipped out new laptops at work and people who are supposedly developers were flipping out that they were i5 when their old ones were i7. Similarly I've had a Tech Lead search through all the ancient crappy laptops from one of our customers and select the one with the i7 sticker to give to a new starter with a straight face.

FuturePastNow posted:Can't wait to be able to jailbreak an Intel motherboard to turn an i5 into an i9 That's been around for ages, even if you discount overclocking in general we've had the Athlon XP and the disabled third cores that you could connect with a pencil trace on whatever the thing was after that. People even worked out how to put sticky tape on certain pins (out of thousands) on a CPU to get them to work on sockets that aren't supported, and to flash Intel chipsets that had the same socket but wouldn't let you use them. The consumer side is the worst possible case for Intel to try and rent-seek with CPU features since there's a huge market willing to try to backdoor whatever they implement.
