@61 Cygni especially if you intend to upgrade it. Was glad to find my laptop was single channel 8 and still had an empty slot to stick in an additional 8. Didn’t need it to be fast or whatever, I just needed the extra space and kept the slow one that was already in there.

And probably that 4K laptop had a 5400rpm HDD, which will make the laptop very slow. I bought a cheap HP laptop 3 years ago, and despite having specs that were decent (at least decent for my needs), it had a slow 5400rpm HDD. Thankfully I upgraded it to an SSD, and put the HDD in the Optical Drive bay to use it for extra storage.

@@DacLMK In laptops is really a hassle, those 5400's don't perform apropiatelly at all, but for my desktop I only use high speed spinnies (Toshiba P300 storage, Toshiba X300 performance), and I cannot see any measurable performance degradation in comparison to others SSDs, only problem would be fragmentation but with Diskeeper that's also a thing of the past.

I have a hard time checking if the “SSD” on a laptop is eMMC, NVME or just SATA. There are some budget laptops that can come with 256GB “SSD” storage, but hell if I know if I can swap out the drive or no without opening it up and voiding warranty.

@@Mageman17 If it's not soldered memory (cough Apple cough), of course, and upgrades don't void the warranty, it should only be void if the brand can prove that you broke the machine intentionally or by mishandling it. As for how to know the kind of memory, sometimes the manufacturers website has the info, if not, you could try and find a review with some sort of teardown and if that also doesn't work, you could try and search for replacement part numbers and watch there the kind of storage that it uses, this last method is the least ideal as this lists are not always perfect, to say the least, but as a last resort...

Why you have to check the frequency response graph, will give you a very accurate idea of what it actually sounds like, though not all manufacturers provide them, and you also need to know how to read them

Over the years there had been many attempts to certify speakers to represent how good they are (remember how THX was important?) , in the end most of them do not mean much since different people listening from the same speaker would tell you different things. Especially the higher end it goes. Truth is there's no 1 unit alone that gives the 20-20k range nicely, there is a reason why tweeters and woofers exist, and where they crossover and how the frequency is distributed create different sound that appeal to different people. Easiest example is Bose, some love it , some avoid it like a plague. And yes , do try the speakers to see if you like it instead of someone telling you "its good" , audio equipment review is almost like fine wine review , its a matter of taste.

With the "electrical power its amplifier may be able to deliver into a resistive load... pfff, that has no relation to how loud and how clean the sound will be" do you mean that that suggests that a lot of power is lost on heat or?

@@syralessthanthree with any oscillating system (in this case, the speaker diaphragm moving to vibrate air) power delivery is complicated. You will always have some portion of the power that gets reflected back to the power source, instead of transferred to your load (in this case, converted into sound). The frequencies at which very little power is reflected are called 'resonances' and these are affected mostly by the size of the speaker cavity. Larger speakers (woofers) resonate better with larger wavelength (lower frequency) oscillations, so they couple better with deep sounds. However, the heavy diaphragms are difficult to oscillate quickly, so trying to generate high pitch sound from these devices is inefficient. On the other hand, a smaller speaker with a stiffer diaphragm will give you much more efficient coupling with high pitch sounds. I think OP is referring to the fact that, just because the amp can deliver a certain amount of power, not all of it couples into sound gen effectively. As you correctly suggested, if the power does not couple well, it gets wasted as heat and sound quality deteriorates.

Why is an SSD faster than a HDD if both run at the same MB/s theoretical Its because of seek time (get this > is this right > its corrupt > here it is again) 4x 16 = 64 like wise 4x 18 = 72 And so with a different amount of operations that can be done inside a set frequency means you get different performance Truck has infinite space and no loading or unloading time, but takes X time for House A to B before it can do C to D before it can do E to F I want 1000 things that total 1GB vs 1 thing that is 1GB Explained it as best i can

ram timing are not more important than frequency. frequency is also not more important than timings. its more a matter of you need to know both to get an accurate idea of performance.

both are directly linked. neither of them is more important. higher frequency usually means higher timings. that's what you saw when we went from ddr3 to ddr4. essentially both frequency and latency doubled which means the performance is same. ddr3 1333 cl9 vs ddr4 2666 cl18 for example. ofc now with ddr4 being around for so long the tech evolved and we see higher frequencies at not so shitty timings which means something like ddr4 3200 mhz cl 14 is now quite faster than ddr3 but in the beginning that wasn't necessarily the case. however saying one of them is more important is just wrong. you have to look at both to get an understanding of the actual performance. cas latency stands for column access strobe latency and the number means how many clock cycles are passing when your cpu requests data from a memory modules particular column and the time in which it responds to it with the available data. so with that in mind you can understand why neither of them matter more than the other. higher frequency ram means that the clock cycles are faster or that you have more cycles in the same time than with lower frequency ram however higher latency means that it will take more cycles before the ram delivers the requested data. this is why ddr3 1333 cl9 and ddr4 2666 cl18 will perform really the same. the ddr4 will perform 2x the cycles in the same time however the requested data will also take 2 times as long to come back so you won literally nothing. ofc ddr4 had other improvements over ddr3 that aren't related to speed but that aside the two examples here would perform like one another.

RAM timings are always given in clock ticks so yes, both matter. I.e. you divide the CAS latency by the clock speed to give the true latency. The point is rather that an increase in clock speed is unlikely to be worth much if it's accompanied by a similar increase in the timings, and that faster RAM with really bad timings may end up being slower in practice.

@@Matt__B agreed buddy. Both memory frequency and timings matter but today it doesn't seem like they matter nearly as much as they did with DDR1. The lower the latency the faster the memory can be accessed at any given time which is very useful for benchmarking apps as well as games.

Well, the freq was found to be an absolute dead-end loooong before Pentium 4 could overclock to 5GHz+, and with all the cool shit you could do with a computer, stopping at freq and a single core per package would leave it all a dream. Like, try building a massive supercomputer with max-clocked Pentium 4's (a clock which doesn't require liquid nitrogen as the cooler). Google's or Facebook's cooling systems wouldn't be remotely enough, and astronomically unreasonable money would be wasted just to run the CPU's at 100% for 1d.

It was probably easier to increase clock speed than increase IPC. When they couldn't push it any further they had nowhere else to go.

@@morosis82 to be fair though, IPC was pushed so much to the limit that increasing it even further at the time was deemed to be straight up impossible for a single core cpu. Research focused on two paths, dual core cpus and increasing the clock to extreme levels but both had huge issues: Increasing clock inherently required to leave a bit of the IPC on the table (as it needed very long pipelines) and compensating for that while dealing with the increased power and thermal requirements would be extremely difficult. Dual core cpus on the other hand had huge issues with resource sharing and interlock, some of which were deemed basically impossible to solve. Resource sharing between cores also translated into an inherent penality on performance and thus, even if they worked, it wasn't that obvious that increasing the number of cores would lead to an increase in overall performance. They quite looked like dead ends. Therefore, although the clock increase path was hard and had many disadvantages, at least it was the more feasible and it was also the (financially) safer option any way you look at it, so it was the path taken with the pentium 4. Of course, with time, we found out that not only dual-cores are really feasible but, because the performance penalities can be worked around for the most part, they are way way better than single core cpus. Therefore we can easily say that, in hindsight, the path taken with the pentium 4 was the wrong one and, indeed, the real dead end between the 2 but, at the time, things didn't quite look this way.

I have a SLIGHT disagreement with the CPU argument. yes, it's true that not all CPUs are made the same anymore, but hard numbers are STILL relevant within 2-3 generations. (for example, a 1st gen Ryzen (1XXX) can still go toe to toe with a 3rd gen Ryzen (3XXX) ) Is it perfect? No, but it certainly has some merit still

@@KyrusDark Su~re, but the Ryzen 3 1000 tech is hardly even comparable to anything before year 2010. Hell, CPU's and by extension GPU's are reaching their copper limits, so they've been looking into other materials for at least 6y by now.

IOPS is sure one of the critical SSD performance aspects, but it's useless if you don't know the other factors such as latency (how much time does it take to reach a block), block size (the smallest space unit that can be edited/deleted), RAID configuration, Read/Write percentage and Sequential/Random percentage. Unfortunately, vendors rarely if ever reveal the rest of their benchmark values and results.

@@flameshana9 yeah,but i was curios why is it faster? I ve seen this many times that dual is faster.

@@marius0448 Running RAM in single channel essentially halves the speed of your RAM. So one 3200Mhz 8gb module in single channel mode will have half the speed as two 3200Mhz 4gb modules in dual channel mode. They’re still technically running at the same clock speed, but the bandwidth between the RAM and CPU is doubled in dual channel mode, so twice as much data can be pushed through in the same time interval. When you use integrated graphics, your CPU and GPU both share system memory, so a dual channel RAM configuration will dramatically increase performance in games.

As I said, cable is cable. Cables don't support features, all they do is transfer data, and the only things a cable might differ form one to the other is: - how much current it can transfer (mostly irrelevant for data transferring cables) - how different length of each wire is (and thus how synchronized signals on each wire are) - how well its shielded (an thus, how much noise it will catch from outside) - what is its resistance A high quality cable will be able to handle many generations of standard in the future. (unless new standard added extra pins and wires). But the truth is that most cables are not high quality and barely even fit requirements of current standards.

Those 500 nits come handy when the sun shines from just the wrong angle and for some reason you can't do anything about it. For example most of the time I use my 350cd/m2 display at 75% ro less, usually 50%. But when the sun shines on my white wall, then sometimes even full brightness can be just barely adequate. But that's indoor. But you can take your laptop outside too, which requires much brighter display to be seen in bright sunny days.

It's both personal preference and depends on the room lighting. I have a 400 nit monitor, and it's perfect during the day. In the night I still can use it at 100% brightness just fine, but nobody else who tried can.

the peak brightness is the important thing. For example, a picture of sun is just a chunk of color on none-hdr display. However, hdr screen can show it's shiny-ness because of its brightness. Also, hdr is not only about the brightness, but also the range. It displays high brightness areas and low brightness areas at thesame time with high fidelity, it's simply not possible on none-hdr mobitors

By the way, if you wonder how bright the actual sun is it's somewhere around and equivalence of 1 billion nits. So theres still a long way to go to actually see the sun in movies to be just like the actual sun...

They don't lol, they dim the displays just like you do. Both HDR and SDR content can be dimmed. HDR loses some of the point obviously, but it's better than being blinded.

@@ashtiboy I thought cpu and gpu cores were very different. As in GPUs have hundreds or even thousands of cores.

@@flameshana9 actaly a gpu is a cpu that has its own dedicated ram memory for video/extra memory cache data storage! a gpu basically is just a cpu with a ram memory card attached to it so it doesn't have to wait on the memory storage drive/cpu! also back in the old days cpus had to do both graphics and regular processing before we made gpus a thing!

@@flameshana9 so bascly a cpu and gpu are very silear! but the only real difencse is the gpu just has its own dedicated ram memory built into the gpus circuit baord

I've never met a person who was able to do even those simple things. Heck, nobody would even know where to look to find the name of their cpu. Helpless consumers make a wealthy capitalist society.

And it works.

also don't trust the RAM speed, recently bought a lenovo with 3600mhz memory just in case i wanna play some games on the vega 8 integrated graphics.. welp turns out the bios has no XMP capabilities and im stuck on 2666 :/

Companies these days downgrade specs after big marketing

Dunno if it's sarcastic or if you are for real, but just in case: It's not that it is not important, but it is "important to a certain extent". To take the example in the video, all of them are important if you know how to read them, the Speed indicated is still a real speed you get and if you , say for example, need the SSD for quick small files transfert, it will be important to know this speed. But you have to always take all those information in CONTEXT, which is something the companies that sell are happy to forget. Kinda like they will happily offer you the possibility to pay in multiple (monthly, bi-monthly...) part, but will tell you the % of interest at the last second :^) In short: Those information are still valuable if you know how to read them and in which context to put them, but yeah for the vast majority of the people they can just forget it (hence the video).

Companies- *This is bussiness* 😈

@Вrеnt Rivеrа 🅥 That’s a bot, don’t click that link Some specs are meaningless without context

An ssd gives new life to any pc

What annoys me is when the optane is listed as regular RAM. I saw a laptop at best buy recently that has a 10th gen i5 and a listed 40gb of RAM. Turns out it has 8gb and a 32gb optane drive. I feel like somebody who's less computer literate than myself and just knows that more ram generally means more better is going to buy this and be very confused when it isn't much faster than one without the optane drive and associated markup.
