NO MORE THROTTLE OR FANS surface pro 3/4

[onlysublime]

If you have to slow down the cpu to avoid fan noise then what was the point of buying an intel surface pro when you might as well have bought an M3 version?

Because an M3 will only ever go up to 900 MHz. But with an i7, you can run at 900 MHz when you want to. But when you need the speed, you can go all the way up to 3.4 GHz. Just like you can cruise the streets in a Ferrari at 60 MPH. But if you really want to get somewhere and want to floor it, you can take it up to 200 MPH.

On Minimum Processor State, I have 5% on both on default. Is this normal?

Yeah that is normal for powersaving

What onlysublime said and things like ram, Drive space ect, remember a I5/i7 are faster then the m3 at the same clock speed

 

[Steveborough]

Is it more accurate (if not, sorry) to say that at the same clock speed the i5/i7 is more efficient? But what seems to be happening is that at the same clock speeds the i5/i7s are more power hungry. I'm not a Skylake expert but shouldn't i5/i7s do more per watt (than an m3) and therefore run cooler during remedial tasks?

The ssd in the i5/i7 is much faster than what comes with the m3. And then there's the additional RAM.

More efficient could be a better term, but yes they are going to still be more power hungry and I can not say if they run cooler or not.. but I can compare it to a atom processor I have on my stream 7 doing the same task

Surface pro 3 i5 ran a 2min 4k video with no shutter at low temps and GHZ

Stream 7 atom ( think of this as the core M3) ran a 2min 4k video with some shutter but mostly smooth at high temps and higher GHZ

Would someone please give a narrative of what these 2 graphics show and what conclusions we can reach from them?

basically the i5 is running better with less real cores, less clock speed and less heat and that would be the same for i7 as well
but atom with more cores is running hot and to even get close to what the i5 is doing I had to have it set to a higher clock. so now just think of the m3 as the atom

 

[Davidz]

Why is the Atom using the disk at 100% compared with the i5 at 7%? And Wi-Fi difference?

Also, what are your max and min CPU setting percentages on both of these?

M3 goes to 2.2 GHZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quit spreading misinformation!
Intel? Core™ m3-6Y30 Processor
(4M Cache, up to 2.20 GHz)

You can talk down on the M3 if you want (like you seem to like doing) but use true facts not bogus stats . This is the second time you claim it maxes out at 0.9.

2.20, 2.20, 2.20 got it?

M3 is not an atom

 

[onlysublime]

my mistake. M3 doesn't top out at 900 MHz. I own up to mistakes.

 

[ajay singh supahiya]

M3 has base frequency of 900mhz, and go up to 2.2. And considering base model is fan less, I would definitely not push it all the time. For basic usage m3 would be great. But for heavy usage we can't rely on the fact that it CAN perform better when required. It surely can but only with sweating all the juice.

More of all let's stick to the topic and stop advocating m3 or i5/i7.

Cheap drive XD is all don't worry about that stuff this was just to show you that i5/i7 run well even at low ghz and stay real cool, this will make your cpu last longer

 

[Geo Hutchings]

M3 is not an atom

True but it gives you a better idea of how it all works i5/i7 run really well at low ghz and cool, cooler then a core M at the same ghz

 

[Geo Hutchings]

Guys please, I was just helping someone out, this is not a m3 debate, he ask if i5/i7 would run cooler because they can do more per watt which seems to be the case, that's it if this helps you decide if you want to turn down you clock on your i7/i5 then cool

5% on surface pro 3 for the test, and no clue for stream 7 as I have not unlocked its power option not that I need to

I was correcting his complete misinformation is all...have a nice day
