AMD Quad-Core A8-4500M Accelerated Processor 1.9GHzwith TurboCORE Technology up to 2.8GHz (4MB L2 Cache)------ witch of the two speeds is it?

Under high load it switches to the faster speed. When idle it stays slower to conserve power.

Christian is correct. I believe only a single core switches to a higher clock speed under heavy load. You don't need to do anything at all and all switching is done automatically. You shouldn't notice anything different except a little more battery drain when it ramps up to 2.8 GHz.

Christian is correct. There is a noticeable difference when playing a demanding game like Batman with the power cord not being plugged in.

Looks like the A8 has a faster CPU, but due to the design of the A4, it may surpass the A8 in actual performance According to the article the A4 seems to be more of notebook chip.check out the notebookcheck web site for more info http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-A-Series-A8-4500M-Notebook-Processor.74884.0.html

It's fast, but if you are looking at it for gaming, probably not the best processor. I don't know the exact CPU speed or MIPS.

I agree with Alan.If you run the Performance Index you can see that the bottleneck comes from the CPU.BTW, I get 2.4 as Performance Index.

Processor Base Frequency 3.5ghz and the Max Turbo Frequency is 3.9ghz. Off Intel site

It depends on a lot of things. You have to take into consideration FSB, cache, the new features of the core 2 duo chips, if your motherboard can handle it, etc. I'm currently running a low end dual core pentium d 2.66ghz and it would not perform as good as this e4300 even though it's faster. It has a smaller cache and slower fsb among other things. Processor frequency is like a lot of other things, sometimes quality is better than quantity; a higher frequency will almost never dictate whether or not it will perform well.

According to system information it is; Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200M CPU @ 2.5GHZLaunch Date was Q4 2013http://ark.intel.com/products/76348/Intel-Core-i5-4200M-Processor-3M-Cache-up-to-3_10-GHz

I doubt it, it looks (from the description) that it's actually the older 3.0 GHz Dual Core, not the 3.0 Quad Core as it says in the title....mistake?

Core 2 Quad. It's the most basic of quadcore. Definitely inferior to pentium, i5 or i7. Dont expect to play any games on this computer, but it's fine for basic usuage, including watching 1080p videos.

3.4GHz is the highest rate the CPU can reach, generally it runs as 2.4GHz, this is the way it should be.

I really don't know... I mated mine to an AMD FX 8-core 3.0ghz cpu... with 32gig system RAM... don't worry about 'bottlenecks'... -=grin=-

The new one comes with Allwinner 1.2Ghz. I heard it is better the PIPO MAX M6, because the Cotex A9 Quad Core 1.6GHz is better than Allwinner.

This is a first gen. processor. It is still plenty fast and you probably would not know the difference unless you are a heavy number cruncher or high resolution gamer
