Latest: Triple-core laptop processors

Untrained laptop buyers usually does not look at the specs but rather will look at the brandnames of laptop. Such brand names may include toshiba, dell, acer and others.

But, when you are asked whether to buy a dual-core or quad-core laptop, what would you choose?
When you opt for a dual-core notebook, you might think that you’re scrimping up on money and thus compromising system performance while
going for a quad-core laptop will really boost your image, but will also burn a hole through your wallet.
Quad core gives you a power-hungry device whose computing power that is seldom maximized because you’d mainly use it for typing documents, writing a blog and playing facebook games like fishville and farmville.
.
AMD has a solution, triple-core processors for laptops:

AMD’s offering would be the first triple-core processors available for laptops. AMD has been offering triple-core processors for desktops and offers only dual-core chips for laptops. Intel offers dual-core and quad-core chips for its laptops and desktops.

Laptops with dual-core processors offer good performance, but adding an extra core helps boost application performance, Grim said. For example, the third core can take on resource-heavy tasks like antivirus scanning while freeing up the other two cores. The chip could also be a power-efficient option to Intel’s quad-core chips, which usually go into power-hungry enthusiast systems.

AMD is also offering triple-core processors to PC makers as a way to differentiate from the usual dual-and quad-core offerings, Grim said.

It does make sense and it seems that the third core would do just what AMD says it would and we’ll end up feeling that the laptop we bought is just right for our budget and needs. This really fits what you really wanted. I really don’t just use my laptop to go online, or do some word processing on it, I also do some graphics editing and even some video editing. While I feel that dual-core it enough. I am now faced with wanting this new technology.

Earthquake hits Negros-Cebu Region- February 6, 2012

An earthquake hit the Negros-Cebu region on February 6, 2012 at 11:49AM, The US Geological Survey (USGS) confirmed that the Negros-Cebu region was the epicenter of this quake. The Philippine counterpart agency-Phivolcs-- that the cause of the shake was tectonic in origin with magnitude 6.9. Further, the quake has a depth of 33km, with epicenter 71 km off (44 miles) SSE (161°) of Bacolod, Negros, Philippines. ALERT . Crimonology students on guard after short moments of shock. Trembling from other areas such as Iloilo City (Intensity 5); Kalibo, Aklan; San Jose de Buenavista and Pandan, Antique; Sta. Barbara, Iloilo; Dipolog City (Intensity 4) was also observed. This trembling sent home thousands of students after administrators announced the postponement of classes. Philvolcs warned that major damage and aftershocks are expected from the quake.

Electronics Engineers in Western Visayas

The building code of the Philippines under PD1096 has been amended under the house bill (HB) 2836 in relation to the Republic Act (RA) 9292 (Electronics Engineering Law of 2004). Image borrowed from http://www.aguileon.com/ Referring to PD 1096, The said amendments included under Rule 1, Sec.103 the additional scope and application of the code which states "The scope of this IRR shall cover the following disciplines: architectural, civil/structural, electrical, mechanical, sanitary, plumbing and electronics ". My stake to this amendment is that it gives additional force to the weak power of the electronics engineers in the country, particularly here in the Visayas. The common misnomer to the old building code is that the scope of the structured cabling, telephony and other electronics equipment such as but not limited to fire alarm system and CCTV, is attributed to electrical engineers. Although there are some similarities in the properties of the said devices and e

Test Taking Strategies for Fresh Graduates

Test Taking Strategies for Fresh Graduates. How to take an occupational test? How to prepare for tests? How to answer employee questions? Tips for taking tests! These are some of the reverberating excerpts I hear a lot of times from fresh graduates of many universities. I wish to shed some light into this matter by sharing experiences I had with several multinational companies that I applied and worked for. Today, I will be speaking and sharing the wonderful sets of learning I gained to 200 graduating students of University of Iloilo-PHINMA Education Network. I wish to be of help to these students by exposing to them the common tests that employers give, how to prepare for an examination, how to prepare for the big battle (of passing the test of the student's company of choice). This is my street-wise approach that I use and for many years have led me to join big companies. If you wish to grab a copy of this training, please leave your e-mail address by posting under the c
