I finally upgraded a barely was good enough at the time AMD E-350 media PC to a Athlon 5350 and I'm very happy with it. Went with it over the Intel equal since 99% of the machine's job is video and maybe games. Nice to finally have 1080P on the TV, old sucker barely handled 720P

chocolateTHUNDER posted:My HP DM1Z netbook had an E-350 inside of it. At the time it launched (I think I got it sometime February 2011) it was adequate enough, and the battery life at the time was almost mind blowing for something that wasn't a mac (almost 6 hours of browsing!) but man, did that thing just start chugging along when websites started getting "heavier" so to speak. I finally gave up on it last spring. I loved that loving machine. If they could make the same exact one with an i3 inside of it, I would jump on it in an instant. I was really slow to give mine up but it just couldn't handle playing back bluray disks or handle HD streaming that wasn't youtube. A newer TV and the march of time finally made me give that little guy up.

Jago posted:Intel chips are better at both video and games, core for core (and even if the amd has more cores, most of the time). No room in the box for anything else, the one pci-e slot is taken up by the ceton TV card. Also nothing but bad times with Intel video anything. Like my work machine randomly blanks out and it's a known issue Intel can't figure out. Screw that LethalGeek fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Feb 13, 2015 |

https://communities.intel.com/mobile/mobile-access.jspa#jive-content?content=%2Fapi%2Fcore%2Fv3%2Fcontents%2F157133 It's comical as hell. The video completely disconnects, the monitor comes back a moment later and gives me the input overlay as if I just connected something. Sometimes several times back to back. Along with other just not having a good time with their video drivers ever Nah I'll pass on their stuff video wise.

dissss posted:There are a bunch of different issues being discussed in that thread, none of what you'd call common - remember there are hundreds of millions of systems with only Intel integrated. Like I said any time I've had to deal with Intel video stuff has been nothing but ugh so  ATIs (& Nvidia's) stuff is way more fleshed out.Edit: The computer computers in the house are Intel CPUs cause pfff come on AMD get it together. vvvvv This is the kind of thing I'm talking about, work had a lot of just weird things happening until we turned off hardware acceleration on anything with Intel based video in it. Just lots of Nope, No Thanks with them. LethalGeek fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Feb 13, 2015 |
