Speed Improvement Opinion?
-
Hi All,
I was hoping someone could give me a basic opinion on speed increase estimation. I had an old laptop. I had a 5 year old duel AMD processor (HP dv9000) with 2 Meg ram. It passed away. I was going to replace it with another HP 7300 Quad with a Nvidia GT650M graphics card, an I7-3630QM processor and 16 Megs of ram.Before, it took me about 8 hours to do one single rendering image....could someone guess how much of a time reduction I might be able to expect?
Thanks,

HP DV9000 should have an AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 (?)

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Core-i7-3630QM-Notebook-Processor.80051.0.htmlSo comparing the cinebench R10 results it sould be around ~6 times faster
X2 TL-60 = 3130
3630QM = 21699.4http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmarklist.2436.0.html

Thanks Numerobis,
Thanks for the reality info, I was hoping it was going to be better then that! Oh well, by the time I have enough $ set aside there might be another evolution of speed improvement. Thanks for your evaluation, it was very helpful!

You're welcome!
I think this speed improvement would be quite "noticeable" - not sure what you had expected, but i would say that this will be a huge boost compared to your current situation (x7!). Ok, it's not the same speed like a desktop quad- or hexa core but it's a notebook...
and btw. the next CPU generation (Haswell) will be only a few percent faster than an Ivy Bridge quad (maybe up to 10%), so the next real speed improvement seems far away.

Thanks,
By the way in addition to the info you have shared...Would I notice any additional speed increase by shifting from (32 bit) Win 7 upgrade to the present offered (64 bit) Win 8?The main hope is not have a mental melt down. Right now it takes me days to draw something up due to the many minutes wait between commands that should take me a 4-5 hours. And constant freeze due to modle size. And 8 hours for one rendered image (good or bad) is just too long! It's hard to give a client 3-4 images in a day or two! Anamation is still OK as that type of work I would just send out to the cloud if required.
Thanks again for your thoughts!

Hi,
I have an option on a few of the laptops I am looking at.....Primarily for Sketchup and mostly for Shaderlight power.... Would I get any speed improvement switching from a single Nvidia GT 650M (2GB) to a "DUAL" (2GB Nvidia GTX 675M ? It sounds great? But I have no clue if it will make much difference?
Thanks for anyone's advice!

From what it looks like from searching the Nvidia website..It looks like the dual GTX 675M is the way to go? if I "understand" the specs well enough? Just not sure if the "gaming" claims have any value in the SU or Shaderlight world?
