can hq processors be overclocked?

HQ CPUs are not overclockable. turbo boost is not only thermal limited, it is more TDP limited. The CPU can exceed the TDP values for a limited time (set by MB manufacturer). Those limits are usually not user controllable for non K CPU models.

A Core i3 with Hyper-Threading can process two threads per core which means a total of four threads can run simultaneously. ... i7 processors do have it, so can process eight threads at once. Combine that with 8MB of cache and Turbo Boost (below), and you can see why Core i7 chips are more powerful than an i5 or i3.

Conclusion: At the same GHz you will get 10% to 15% performance difference when going from the 1st generation Intel® Core™ processors to the 2nd generation Intel Core processors. Now going to the 3rd generation Intel Core processors you will get another 15% faster performance.

Designed for a high-performance computing experience, the Ryzen 5 2400G 3.6 GHz Quad-Core AM4 Processor from AMD has a base clock speed of 3.6 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 3.9 GHz. ... It is also unlocked, meaning it can be overclocked past its maximum turbo frequency.

Apparently the default setting of the FCLK is 800 MHz for Skylake processors; however, Intel's recommended value for desktops was 1000 MHz, so the 10x ratio setting should be used. AnandTech understands that the 10x setting back in early August wasn't functioning properly.

Splendid. Under full load you want to keep your CPU at or below 80 degrees Celsius. The GPU can go a little higher than that but anything above 90 is a little high. Google safe operating temperatures for your specific gpu if your concerned.

Yes, threads and processes can run concurrently on multi-core CPUs, so this works as you describe (regardless of how you create those threads and processes, OpenMP or otherwise). A single process or thread only runs on a single core at a time.

The problem with the FX8350 is that it has middling performance, but runs like a furnace. It isn't appreciable faster than a 3770k in synthetic benchmarks, and has a TDP of 125W. This processor needs very good cooling to flex its legs, and really wants multi-threaded workloads.

Running BDO in Sys tray is still running it. Hardware lifespan is affected by overclocking, a PC can run for 8 years straight and not die, unless you bought shit bottom of the line garbage. Sleep mode just means you have lower power consumption, but your components are still powered.

While the Intel Core i5-8250U and Core i7-8550U are both quad-core processors with the ability to process eight threads simultaneously, their clock speeds are slightly different. The Core i5's clock speed is set at 1.6-GHz (3.4-GHz with Max Turbo), while the Core i7's is faster at 1.8-GHz (3.6-GHz with Max Turbo).

All 7th gen core i5 are quad cores. All 8th generation core i5 are hexa-core (six cores). More cache to go along with the increased core count. Slight architectural speed improvements, higher clock speeds.

Hi Marinel, Cpu core parking manager v3 is like all those utilities, you use it at your own risk. It overrides the Intel and system software to adjust your processor, and the benefits to be gained, would be minimal best, since gaming relies more on your GPU rather than your CPU!

The 6-core runs at 3.5GHz with a turbo boost to 3.9GHz. The 8-core runs at 3.0GHz but also has a turbo boost to 3.9GHz.

So yes, you can put 800mhz memory in your machine, but unless you overclock it, it will run at 667mhz. You won't be able to tell any difference in speed even if you do overclock it and set to run at 800mhz. But, there is no reason not to buy 800mhz memory if you have found a set at a good price, it will work fine.

No. Mainstream desktop processors are clocked a lot higher than server CPUs and comparable to workstation xeons. This gives them superior single thread performance and games are often limited by single core cpu performance. ... They have 6-18 cores and tend to perform the same in gaming but be 2-10 times more expensive.

The only problems with high CPU usage are a decreased lifespan when the processor is constantly running under full load and potentially overheating, but all modern processors have safeguards to prevent that. As long as the system is adequately cooled, it won't be a problem.
