— I think this is a Core 2 Quad Q6600??
— The intel xeon E5-2678 v3 is a 12-core 24-threaded processor built on intel's 22nm Haswell architecture. Due to its relatively old age, it can be found on sites like ebay for under $100. The single core score isn't amazing, however, but thanks to modern API's like DirectX 12 and Vulkan, all twelve (or most) cores can be used efficiently while gaming.
— Intel's 11th gen processor for high end ultrabooks. The single core score surpasses even Apple's M1.
— The 8600M-GT is the GPU that caused apple many problems in the late 2000's. MacBook Pro's that had this GPU were suddenly failing only months after purchase. Users with this GPU should make sure that they have the revised version of this GPU.
How to identify your 8600M-GT
— China's not so impressive x86 CPU. The price of it is REALLY high, and it gets dusted by 10-12 year old intel CPU's. Multicore performance looks similar to 4c/4t Sandy Bridge CPU's.
— This was the CPU in my school Chromebook, and can be found in many cheap laptops that cost less than a gaming keyboard. Coolmathgames was a slideshow nightmare, the thermals were absolute rubbish, and battery life was comparable to a gaming laptop. Having more than two tabs open would completely put the system to a screeching halt; this CPU is comparable to a Pentium 4. Luckily, I now use a MacBook Pro M1 for school-related work.
— A small form factor NVME found in many dell desktops and laptops.
here is what it looks like!
— What the GTX980M should've been. This has all 2048 Cores and 128 TMU's enabled to match the desktop GTX 980. The GTX 980M has only 1536 Cores and 96 TMU's (Still less than the desktop GTX 970). Both of these cards are fed with 8Gb of VRAM. This GPU can also be referred to as GTX 980 Mobile, or GTX 990M
— A good mid range mobile card. It is worth knowing this GPU comes in an 80w, 90w, and 115w form, all of which, perform differently. The 115w variant of this card will give you similar performance to a 80w rtx 2070mq.
