[QUOTE=chipsnapper2;51264277]So part 1 of that giant shipment from the Philadelphia International Aiport showed up today.
It's all i7-2600's. Are those still considered good for rigs? I really want to take one, out it an a new board, and call it my rig. Worth it over a skylake i5 or not?[/QUOTE]
Kinda old. Not really worth swapping.
[QUOTE=Levelog;51263736]Am I the only person who wants to see a tablet or ultrabook that has like, a Core M and a similar ultra-low-power-but-still-full-architecture dedicated GPU on it? I think it would be fun. Like basically a Core M and the graphics unit of a tegra x2.[/QUOTE]
Surface Book? Old one has a 940M, new one has a 965M. ULV Core i, which is good because Core M is terrible anyway.

Yeah surface book is close, but not quite. 965m is too high power, as is the ULV Core i. Have you used a Core M ever though? You'd be surprised.

Having something like the Tegra in a ultrabook would just kill the battery a lot faster.
That trade off isn't really worth it for me.

[QUOTE=DrTaxi;51264579]Core M is terrible anyway.[/QUOTE]
Except it's not terrible at all, if you consider what it's actually intended for. I don't know why people keep on comparing it with the fully powered Core i series, when it's meant to be a powerhouse replacement of the Atom.

I mean the TDP of the X1 is only 15w, and that's with 4 big and 4 little Cortex cores.

So you basically want a Core M with a low-clocked GT3e instead of a GT2 Intel GPU? Or do you want it to be an off-package GPU for whatever reason?

I don't necessarily want it to be off package, I'd just appreciate something with more punch than the HD515 without the bigger consumption increase of a chip with a 540 or something. A Core M and X1 together should be under 20w.
[editline]26th October 2016[/editline]
But to be fair I just like weird shit. A tegra's openGL performance on linux would be much appreciated.
[QUOTE=Levelog;51264672]A Core M and X1 together should be under 20w.[/QUOTE]
A 20W chip would completely defeat the purpose of a Core M. Most Core M's have a TDP of 4.5W so they can be used fanless and in smaller format computers.
A core M drawing 20W of power is literally just a really slow and inefficient mobile laptop CPU at that point.
Core M machines are so insanely expensive.
how does the core m hold up against older cpus like the atom?

Here's my experiance with the Core m3 Compute Stick:
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;50956247]I've always had a thing for small factor computers, so I decided to splurg $400 on an Intel Compute Stick
[t]http://i.imgur.com/zeVTI9k.jpg[/t]
This thing comes with Windows 10 preloaded, and I was watching HD Netflix while browsing several tabs at once on a 4k monitor. The stick can handle all that concurrently without any hiccups at all.
It's amazing how much computing power is packed into a stick that fits into your hands. All that performance and the stick only needs about 10W to operate on max load.
It's amazing how far technology has come[/QUOTE]
Did you try any games on it?

Fair enough, it should be well under 20, but my point is wanting more GPU without more CPU.

My brother can play CS:GO on pretty much lowest everything on his Core M ASUS laptop.

if i get one of these things and plug it into a switch, will it start blinking? because that's the tool i'm looking for, i can't find shit otherwise
[QUOTE=Trekintosh;51264775]Did you try any games on it?[/QUOTE]
No, but this thing really isn't meant for gaming to be fair.
You can find some results for 3dmark and cinebench here though:

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;51264779]Didn't fucking get a 10 month contract with council.
That's a bit of a punch to the face[/QUOTE]
Sadly no one gets every job they're interviewed for, and that's the reality you gotta face.
Good luck on future interviews though

You plug both one end of the cable into each side and it'll go green on 1-8 if all cable pairs are okay, that's basicly it.

I've used a Broadwell Core M (forgot which one) for a couple months - web browsing and development - and found it to be unbearably slow.
I find that [I]anything[/I] needs a fast system these days. The i7-4650U in my personal laptop is just a touch above the bare minimum I would use for any purpose, really.

yeah but i want something that can check if a port is working when i don't have a laptop nearby
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;51264990]It's true but I can't help feeling like utter shit after preparing 8 weeks to even get to the interview stage[/QUOTE]
Those eight weeks you spent preparing are skills you've gathered for future interviews as well. They're not wasted.
[QUOTE=Giraffen93;51264986]yeah but i want something that can check if a port is working when i don't have a laptop nearby[/QUOTE]
Those don't communicate with ethernet packets, just send raw voltage to check single wire connectivity. You're gonna need something that can accept ethernet packets.
Maybe some advanced ones do

Those advanced ones costs hundreds of dollars. You're better off just connecting two computers together with the lan cable in question.
When looking for something similar in the past I found some DIY setups. Might be worth looking into.
[QUOTE=Giraffen93;51264986]yeah but i want something that can check if a port is working when i don't have a laptop nearby[/QUOTE]
If you're testing full port functionality and connectivity, I don't think you can go smaller than a netbook, or maybe a Raspberry Pi with a tiny LCD and some custom software for it. Maybe an ethernet-USB OTG adapter if your phone supports it.

At one of our customers they had some port tester made by Fluke that could even say which vlan a port was on, might be worth a look

not full connectivity, as long as it blinks, i don't see why it needs to be one of those hilariously overpriced "pro" grade toys, surely there's gotta be a chink alternative?
LRAT-1000 I think??

yeah it's absolutely ridiculous
the regular cable testers are £5 on ebay, seriously
