The 2 CPU giants in the PC market are the Intel and AMD processors.
Of the 2 types of CPU makers mentioned above, Intel is the overall market leader in that their processors are widely preferred to that of AMD. Intel produces a wider range of processors and the faster ones. You will agree with me that core i3, i5, and i7s are the most sought after processors whether you want to build or buy a PC.
Intel processors are generally more expensive, but they give value for money.
Does it mean that AMD processors are inferior; Not at all. The PS5 and PS4 video gaming consoles which are still the best sellers in the market run on AMD architecture. If you are on a budget, you should go for AMD processors as they are generally cheaper than their corresponding Intel counterparts.
Hyper threading enables a CPU to handle tasks more efficiently and resourcefully. It means the CPU can multitask without degrading system performance. Hyper threading was first made to work with x86 based CPUs such as Pentium 4. Now even Intel atom uses the hyperthreading technology. Hyperthreading makes a CPU like Pentium 4 behave as a dual core, but these cores are virtual, and they share the same computing resources but are efficiently managed.
Multicore as it relates to CPU
A Multicore CPU is a CPU capable of advanced multitasking using physical cores that have their own separate computing resources,( not shared). It is like plugging two or more individual processors into one integrated circuit. A CPU with multiple cores means that each core can be assigned to different tasks. However, if a core cannot adequately handle the task assigned to it, other cores can jointly assist to finish the task.
Overclocking CPU
Most CPUs have their speeds clocked. However, some specially designed CPUs have adjustable clock speeds. The reason why most CPU speeds are clocked is to prevent them from burning out. Interl CPUs that can be overclocking capabilities have the letter K in their name while that of AMD is called black edition.
Buy the exact parts you need to build your PC. When shopping for pre-built PCs in the market, finding the one that exactly suits you can be very hard.
Buying the PC components yourself and putting them together to make your PC is usually cheaper than a pre-built one of the same kind. You can also take advantage of deals when shopping for PC components.
You will be satisfied that you are really getting what you need for your business.
Building your computer yourself will help you understand how your PC works and rightly troubleshoot when necessary.
If you are really committed to building your PC you can spread the cost. That is, buying the components one by one until you get everything needed to build. You don’t have to borrow money.
Many prebuilt PCs come with software/Operating systems you don’t need or prefer. When you build your own PC, you install the software and the preferred operating system you need.
Better cooling for your PC is easily achieved by the careful choice of a PC case. You have a variety of PC cases to choose from. Some cases even come with multiple cooling fans That will better cool the processors making your PC work efficiently and last longer.
Its fun and a worthwhile experience when you build your own PC.
Rooting a phone means gaining access to some special settings within the phone which have been locked by the manufacturers.
As much as there is gain in rooting your phone, there is also the danger of your phone malfunctioning or even becoming unusable.
Ideally you should not have any reason to root your phone. From my own experience the positives are far lesser than the negatives. Also rooting your phone makes it vulnerable to all kinds of malicious and virus attacks. Your phone won’t run faster than it was when it was unrooted.
One reason why you may be tempted to root your phone is when you accidentally deleted a file and you want to recover it. Most apps you download to recover deleted files will ask that you root the phone. And at the end of the day even after rooting, nothing is found, but you have only unlocked your phone’s security features and are now open to virus and spam attacks.
As Google continues to upgrade its Android system, and the fact that apps can now do functions which before would have required rooting your phone, it has now become largely unnecessary to root your phone.
Most people who root their phones end up damaging it in the end.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t root your phone, but only if you have a genuine reason for doing so.
If you are a developer of android operating systems, you can root your android phone because you want to get the very best out of it and you know what you are doing.
If you are not a developer, just a normal end user, then DON’T ROOT YOUR PHONE!
Just enjoy the phone capabilities as they are or get a better one.
When you go to purchase a laptop, what you want to use it for is very important. If you need a laptop for basic use such as internet browsing, watching videos, typing, lightweight picture and video editing, you don’t need to go for a high powered laptop.
Here are the specs you should be looking out for
At least 500GB hard disk space.
4GB RAM
Intel, AMD or celeron processors with speeds of over 2GHz
For maximum comfort and performance you can go for a laptop with these specs;
A harddisk space of 1TB, 8GB RAM and a core i series processor with integrated graphics chip.
