Sony big screen entertainment platform EL25EC evaluation

Performance of the hardware: the best audio and video entertainment
    Sony EL25EC using AMD APU is a platform for laptops, processors equipped entry-level E450 APU, the overall performance is not suitable for large high-performance gaming or office needs, but online games, high definition video playback and other common entertainers, but it has a very good performance, while for 3499 yuan, low price, for the average user of a house, is undoubtedly a cost-effective choice. Therefore, if you do not want to spend too much money to buy a laptop, and just want to play online games or watching high-definition video and Sony VGP-BPL13 be a very good choice.
· Evaluation of performance of the hardware and the summary evaluation
    First, we look at the hardware, with AMD EL25EC E450 APU platform, AMD K14 chipset, 320GB HDD configured together, and 2 GB DDR3 1333 MHz memory speed, in addition, the machine factory pre- operating system loaded with original Windows 7. In the graphics area, the integration of the APU model uses an AMD Radeon HD 6320G graphics card, not equipped with dedicated graphics cards.
List of machines hardware
    First, we have 64 AIDA tool CPUID to see Fengyun E450 AMD APU basic information. This processor is a low-end family APU model, performance is more general, based on 40nm process technology, frequency 1.65GHz, 512KB secondary cache only, dual-core design, although slightly lower than the performance of the processor, but its price advantage is obviously the Internet, watch high-definition and other common applications, adequate.
List of basic parameters of the processor
    Then we use this software Cinebench R10 to assess its performance, the software is capable of mono-and multi-core processor performance score given intuitive Fengyun Sony VGP-BPL21 Laptop processors APU its simple heart for the last 1156 points, get the Duo 2262 points, the overall performance in general, little difference compared to the E350 APU.
Test the performance of the processor
    In the storage model with a 320GB hard drive together, we HD Tune to test its performance. Capture from test results, we see that the average transfer rate of this disc 70.2MB / s, the maximum transfer rate of 92.3MB / s, while the minimum transfer rate of 39.4MB / s, from these data we can see that child the hard drive speed is 5400, more than 18.4 ms access time, its overall performance in the ordinary SATA hard drive is better, but the transmission rate is relatively low very satisfactory.
Hard disk performance tests
     Finally, the overall performance of this product was tested using the software for the PCMark Vantage, which is a portable global performance evaluation of commonly used software, simulating the user a variety of practical applications, requests for all aspects of the laptop gives the corresponding daily evaluation results.
Assessing the overall performance
    The general situation, the overall performance of academic 2396 points in line with the actual performance of their platform. In each test, a more balanced performance, a maximum of 3000 points, in practice, this Notebook Products are not players or high-end users to design, and performance to meet, like watching high definition movies, often out of the office etc. The main applications.
Product: EL25EC / B (black) the performance of Sony VGP-BPS13 Laptop mobile thermal advantages of living is
Weight, heat and endurance test
    Then we take a look at this performance information EL25EC mobile. We portability first part of this product were measured using electronic scales separately the weight of this product with a weight of the battery and the journey of the weighing, from the following table, we can see, the weight of this product with battery 2.453 kg, the weight of 2.809 kg trip for 15.6-inch laptop, portability is not the judge of the merits of the standard, bringing the big screen visual experience is most important.
With the battery weight: 2.453 kg Weight Travel: 2.809 kg
    In the thermal performance testing we used FurMark software to make this machine to operate at high load conditions, after 1 hour of time, the temperature of the heart of the processor has reached 59 ℃, the temperature of the point view of the sensor alone EL25EC overall thermal efficiency is still very good, which benefited from its power to bring to the platform below E450 APU, which itself is only 18W of power to help EL25EC a little heat.
Temperature sensing internal hardware
Surface temperature of the body of the test
    By thermal imaging devices, we face the fuselage C and D the surface temperature of the test surface. Among them, more in touch with a keyboard part of the user of the maximum temperature of 34.1 ℃, the maximum temperature of the bottom of the fuselage 36, 3 ℃. Distribution of heat, we can see, the highest temperature of the red zone to the surface of the keyboard, the red zone concentrated in the middle of the keyboard and touchpad part and the lower area of ​​the window is concentrated in the heat. The heat of the real situation, the effectiveness EL25EC satisfactory cooling, the surface temperature is low, the internal temperature at full load equipment is not high.
Sony VGP-BPS21 Laptop Battery Evaluation of Life
    Finally, we examine how endurance EL25EC. This model comes standard with a six-cell lithium 10.8V/4000mAh/44Wh from the specifications, the battery capacity is relatively small, we have adopted Windows 7 comes with software power management has been valued for its endurance, the last three hours 57 minutes of battery life is satisfactory, while the battery capacity and the application point of view, EL25EC play games, watch movies HD, which can reach more than three hours of battery life, and the main applications such as web browsing, then life will be longer.
Product: EL25EC / B (Black) Sony laptop design: a rich texture and bump texture
· Design hexagonal textures textures bump
    With AMD APU platform, low price, Sony EL25EC the more affordable but still maintain the overall design of Sony's high quality, top of the decorative use of hexagonal texture, and full of a certain concave , so the effects of lighting and texture both have a unique performance.

Sony recalls laptops: How far are you retired City?

June 30, 2010, the official site of Sony name has appeared in "on the part of the series and VPCF11 VPCCW2 VAIO series personal computer Important Notice" notification content is as follows: Recently, we found that in January 2010 and listed a series of Sony VGP-BPS13  series models below is applicable to certain products used for some time, very rarely can occur due to temperature control problems the system to overheat symptoms.

The phenomenon of specific issues: the use of some specific cases where the machine overheating and symptoms that may cause the machine. If you touch the site of the symptoms of overheating, it can feel the skin burning.

Official website of Sony notification
It is clear that these products 2009 December - February, 2010, during production, in January 2010 are listed for the Chinese market of the mainland, a total of 55 362 units of recalls.

Watch this notification, my first reaction is that Sony VGP-BPL13 has a quality problem. Why say "they" mean? Because the first notebook Sony can not remember the incident. Back in 2003 there appeared in the notebook Sony recalls. By 2006, the laptop "battery" incident has been pushed to the verge of Sony. 2007 - 2008, laptop battery quality problems still exist, then an apology from Sony, while continuing to think about their own products. Now, Sony laptop will once again face turmoil caused by quality problems. Now, I would first look at Sony with each of those "door."

In 2003, Sony announced a recall of 18,000 laptop models of "VGP-BPS9". Among them, we recall the Japanese market, 13000, review the U.S. market in 3000, the European market recall of 2,000 units. Recall the reasons, in particular circumstances could lead to a small electric shock users. Specific indicators: the use of an external power source, if there is a phone line connected to the grounding of peripheral devices, and then when the phone rang until the laptop user to touch the metal on the site, will be an electric shock.

It is clear that Sony recalls laptops in 2003, so that the company has lost about 500 billion yen. Although these products are not sold in China, but part of the "parallel" to the user or the taste of bitterness.

In 2003, Sony's laptop question - VAIO FRV
In 2006, more than one brand of laptops on fire, or explosion of news. For a while, the laptop security has become a hot topic. In June 2006, the world-famous computer manufacturers have announced results of the investigation - a laptop fire due to tiny particles of metal remains in the cell cause a short circuit caused. And the battery manufacturer Sony.

At that time, the global lithium batteries used in laptops, the percentage of Sony, the battery charge reaches 25%. As the second largest world producer of laptop batteries, Sony just four months of withdrawal of 10 million batteries a problem with quality.

I remember a time when the IT class as long as the open web pages, you will see, for example, "a certain brand of Sony laptop battery fire is to blame", "Sony batteries around getting themselves in a certain brand had to recall tens of thousands of laptops , "" a certain brand or Sony laptop battery fire culprit "and the title of the article. World-renowned IT magazines and even Sony "battery" incident in 2006 in the IT sector in the first 21 big scandal.

Sony VGP-BPL21 battery door incident
2007 - 2008, although Sony has made a number of remedial measures and a public apology, saying that he would not be such a problem, but because of problems caused by laptop batteries unfortunate tragedy is still on the scene. October 2008, to remind 100 000 Sony batteries. Among them, the recall of 35,000 in the U.S. market and abroad market recall of 65,000. Recall the reasons is that these batteries can overheat and cause fires. Subsequently, Sony has recalled 440,000 notebook PCs, the development model "TZ VAIO". Among them, the Chinese market withdrawal of 78 000 units. Recall the reasons is that there may be design flaws, short circuit and overheating.

2007 to 2008, due to problems caused by laptop batteries unfortunate tragedy is still setting
Now in 2010, Sony announced a recall of certain series of VPCF11 VPCCW2 computers and notebook series. Among them, 52 000 Japanese mainland recall, recall of 535,000 units in foreign markets (yes, in fact, 530 000 units), Chinese remind the market of 55 362 units. Sony notebook will once again face turmoil caused by quality problems.

This is because the thing is too big, too broad in scope, hiding, and the quality of Sony laptop has been exposed to most users. In fact, the major IT class website forum, which appeared in response to the quality of their purchases of Sony laptop has the problem message. Here, I'll take you to enlighten me on this elite brand of product quality laptop.

Most of the reaction products quality online posts are not paintings, credibility is low. I find this message as a text description, there are pictures to testify, and then again in 2007, you can also exclude the suspicion of fraud.

We can Baidu, "Sony Laptop serious quality problems, just bought a month Sony c22 severely deformed body (figure)." This is the name of friends to buy Sony VGP-BPS21 laptop in just one month on this issue. Sony's customer service department for the diagnosis of this, if the master database without external strain. Following this picture we can see the laptop base has been uneven, largely left in limbo, but the cover is deformed, Bulong.

Just bought a laptop to Sony problems (picture from the post of users)
The next picture is from the evaluation paper notebook Sony. Through this picture, we see the laptop screen hinge gap junction was too great.
Sony laptop (picture with the Sony Notebook Review article)
Gap junctions, the screen hinge was too great
We accept the current market price of the cheapest notebook Shenzhou, the screen hinge with the product to compare. And it's good, bad, I think I'm not saying that.

Normal laptop screen hinge joints must match exactly
At this point, we should ask the phrase: "Quality does not fly, so high price, Sony is doing?"

Sony is trying to build a luxury brand, user groups, from the standpoint of those with high purchasing power of young professionals, business elite, boss, of course, these "rich". However, the most popular notebook market in China will always be those cheap products. See other vendors in low-cost laptops for huge profits, Sony, could not, also launched its own inexpensive laptop.

The emergence of low-cost notebook Sony (they say that low, in fact, almost 5,000 dollars) for those who use a laptop to show what you want, but they do not have much pocket money for consumers, provides "the most reasonable choice."

"What is your brand of laptop to use it?"

"Made in China, is not it?"

"Sony"!

Suddenly, a feeling of superiority well ... ...

2010 Sony VGP-BPS18 Laptop Battery

Nevertheless, some time ago ignited the world-famous brand's laptop repairs see a big problem, often at the cost of the brand. As the need to reduce costs and inexpensive laptop, but also need to increase production, so it's hard to provide quality products is not a problem. More than a brand, even more so. Because the brand is more, the greater the volume, the greater the production, the harder it is to take care of everything.

This reason, read the previous screen hinge to compare the quality of performance in relation to understand. Those who specializes in inexpensive laptop manufacturers (such as Shenzhou), because that specialize in this, so there is enough energy to understand the quality of the laptop. And as Sony itself is located in the luxury brand, will certainly not put too much effort to take care of the younger product line.

Compared with the Sony high-end consumers have better choice (image from a network of hot post "90 women to show off their wealth.")
And those who like to brag, capital, consumers, to show, often do not choose Sony, because there are more Latin style of the brand - Apple. I do not know what fear is, fear of imprisonment. Although the Sony laptop has the form of their construction is very confident, but to get in front of the notebook than Apple, inevitably shade. In addition, these high-end consumers, but also focus on the reputation of the brand. Recall Sony Laptop, this will lead to the loss of these high-end consumers.

● Article Summary

In 2006, Sony hopes that the three years, the Chinese brand of fighting after the U.S., the second largest market in the world. Later, the "battery" incident occurred. Sony had this goal before 2010. Now in 2010, Sony came up with a laptop, remember killing himself in China, "high not low not on" state. I have to ask: Sony, how far are you a retired city?

New framework to guide the first test of the new revolution AMD Llano APU

New framework to lead the new revolution
◇ APU is what? The future?
Heroes of today is not a processor, but the APU. While the APU? APU English name is "Accelerated Processing Units", which means that the processor speed, it is a melting together of AMD technology products. In fact, in January this year we have had contact with the APU - AMD held in January 2011, the theme of "I Love APU" major conference, and was released products Brazos E350, which is the start of APU model, before we made a detailed assessment of the E350 platform. After waiting nearly half a year, AMD has finally released its public positioning APU model, which is the protagonist of a series, while in the press, a series APU, we also expect this to be friends as long than six months to the platform detailed assessment, let us experience the APU has the charm of heterogeneous computing.
In fact, early last year (2010) in February, AMD senior vice president Chekib Akrout brought us news of the APU, the words of Mr. Chekib Akrout used to describe the APU is the best " the HP Pavilion DV4 best CPU and GPU APU trained "in this respect is a huge advantage over AMD - the AMD CPU and GPU have the two largest PC core R & D capabilities, the acquisition time ATI has been busy by a series of AMD Enjoy all important products and APU is in turn a masterpiece beyond all previous work, the house is going to the heart alone is more than ever, acceleration, more importantly, the new 32 nm process to be energy efficient and closer integration, which is a global progress.
Product: A8-3800 CPU AMD Fusion products of the APU is greater than 2 -1 1

◇ Fusion product of the APU is greater than 2 -1 1

Previously, we and the leaders of AMD in the communication process, "Fusion" is a high probability of the word appears, why? Because it is characterized by Fusion APU, APU will be a mixture of traditional single CPU core and the core of the new product was, which is caused by AMD R & D team on the Pavilion DV4-1000EA product of the time - the best of the best CPU and GPU APU form, words, AMD senior vice president Chekib Akrout is the case.
President of AMD vice president and general manager, Technology Division, told reporters APU Chekib Akrout

Indeed, in June, successfully held the Computex 2011 (2011 Taipei Computer Show), the Computex show APU received Committee approval and granted the Computex 2011 Best choice, and the prize will be awarded to a class CPU products are rare, showing the official organization for President APU highly recognized IT and AMD vice president, Greater China President Tang also said: "APU as a seamless integration of the speed of the processor architecture, the a video image has a great advantage, will be transformed into high definition, and so can function SD APU to give more potential and market. "
AMD Senior Vice President, Greater China, Tang congratulated President APU

AMD executives have shown a strong self-confidence products APU, APU and the design and integration of the fusion of CPU + GPU also allow one with the trend of over 2, complement each other, accelerating Mutual is the APU design ideas, is where the basic concept of heterogeneous computing. So what is the truth of it is what this article will be discussed with anyone.

Product: A8-3800 AMD CPU implementation A8-3850 produced the highest

Layout-3850 A8 products ◇ highest

A series of AMD APU positioned higher than the Pavilion DV4-1001TU previously issued Series E APU, an APU nomenclature is very interesting series, in which representatives of the A6 and A8 Quad-Core (Core) products APU, A4 on behalf of dual-core (Core) product, the current Llano APU The higher-end model is the A8-3850, has a physical quad-core 2.9GHz Core and high frequency, while the series A, produced the lowest range is A4-3400. A series APU and its A-series motherboard architecture platform is made of "Lynx" platform. The following table APU models are available now, including the cover.
Online product APU

Some people say that the APU architecture is still a continuation of K10. This statement is not bad, but it's not quite right, in fact, APU Core architecture is actually an extension of the K10, but it is not a small improvement in the area of ​​cache, d a series APU is still intact the ability of a 128KB cache, while the secondary cache in each core was designed 1MB capacity, while the three cache areas are not preserved.
An array of Llano APU product line

Removed three cache performance through a series APU will be affected? If AMD does not do something, then things will be so good for the AMD APU also made a new and improved: Based on the IP (Instruction Pointer, instruction pointer) of the HW Prefetcher (hardware pre-readers) was re-designed improvements, rearrange the buffer capacity has increased by 20%, Load / Store unit double buffering capacity direct, new hardware divider (divider Hardware) ... ... these changes so that the number of APU instructions per clock (instructions per clock) than the Pavilion DV4-1001TX current processor as much as 6% more, so do not worry because we have no conception of the performance of three cache and lead to problems, and should delight in the architecture of the improvement and growth of secondary cache.
Product: A8-3800 AMD Power - Fusion Core HD6500 series was only

◇ Powerful - integrated HD6500 series one was at the heart

We all know that AMD has integrated graphics are introduced to force, and the introduction of the nucleus itself was whether the force? The answer is yes, a series Llano APU integration within the HD6500 series GPU based, HD6000 series is the line's most advanced GPUs from AMD current product. Official information from AMD is confident in the description: A series of APU in the integration of a level of simple graphics core important, let us first review the main architecture of Llano APU:

Llano APU graphics architecture

The architecture of the Llano APU diagram above, we can see in the Llano APU has almost half of the space is occupied by the GPU and the other half was occupied by Core CPU and GPU that can be integrated into a small chip, advanced technology processes to remember a great service.

AMD HD6500 series provides graphics heart DirectX 11, is one of the keys to the most advanced graphics, as AMD has arisen in product design and planning of speculation, the model most upscale A8-3850 independence APU should be an important core HD6550D HD5570 graphics core level, SP cells from the Pavilion DV4-1013TX point of view, a series APU's most high-end graphic heart inside the A8 models with a maximum of 400 units SP just the numerical point of view that the level of a HD6570, and HD6570 with 480 SP cell, a group of SP cells from a group of more than HD6550D.
The architecture indicates HD6570

In fact, even if the unit SP HD6550D and HD6570 as well as its theoretical performance should be slightly lower than the HD6570, since the two are not the same memory controller and DDR3 memory will be more advantageous than the GDDR5. Of course, based on shared principles, users can always be single core APU with a much larger shared memory, so how can improve performance HD6550D.

Of course, one HD6550D heart was not the only name he hung HD6000 series, HD6000 series graphics card actually works supported by HD6550D also supported, in front of this API does support DirectX 11 is only important in the following sections, we will develop the characteristics HD6550D more.
Product: A8-3800 CPU AMD continue UVD3-HD decoding power

◇ continue UVD3-HD decoding is still effective

UVD3 (Unified Video Decoder 3) Chinese translated as "third-generation universal video decoder", which is AMD AVIVOHD one of important technologies, with UVD3 technology, completes the basic graphics hardware can decode MPEG2, H.264 and VC-1 high definition video formats, as well as MPEG2, H.264 and VC-1 high definition film of three fully supported hardware solution, solutions can be difficult movies Divx / Xvid encoded, and Blu-ray 3D acceleration in especially for the VC 1 decoding support, but the traditional strengths of UVD3
UVD3 UVD2 UVD1 and relative improvement

Compared UVD2 and UVD1, UVD3 encoding format for better hardware support for decoding, we can see from the figure above the old UVD technology updates, only one generation UVD VC-1 and H .264 encoding hardware solution Now UVD3 almost all video formats currently supported hardware decoding, the Pavilion DV4-1020TX progress is obvious.
UVD3 for more video formats supported

We come in contact with the video of storm and various other interface software provides audio-visual equipment support options open as long as decoding software supports decoding equipment can, in fact, we come into contact with software Video playback is the oldest is the easiest to use, which is CyberLink PowerDVD, that player is not done, but in fact, many domestic audio-visual software using decoding technology from CyberLink and later we'll do the true high definition video hardware test solution, it will use the PowerDVD software.
Product: A8-3800 AMD CPU to speed up the APU Analysis of heterogeneous

◇ How to speed up the APU-Analysis of heterogeneous computing,

Since the processor accelerator called APU, its main concept is to accelerate, while the APU is integrated into the CPU core and the core was only then its acceleration must be built on the basic core of the two above and for heterogeneous computing, CPU and GPU acceleration between complementary is also an important component.

Heterogeneous computing is the English name of heterogeneous computing, mainly refers to the use of different types of instruction set and architecture of the system of calculation modules. Common calculation unit, including the types of CPU, GPU and other co-processors, DSP, ASIC, FPGA, etc. We often say that heterogeneous parallel computing is an important part of the calculation.
CPU and GPU collaboration diagram heterogeneous Pavilion DV4-1026TX computing (based on OpenCL)

Heterogeneous computing in recent years, more attention, especially because, by increasing the clock speed of the processor and the number of cores and enhance the traditional way of computing power and energy blockages of Cooling encountered. At the same time, GPU and other special computer unit, although the frequency is low, with more cores and parallel computing capabilities, the ratio of total area of ​​performance / silicon and performance / power ratio is high, but far from being fully used.

The design allowed relatively good processor to deal with irregular data structures and access methods unpredictable, and recursive algorithms, branch-intensive code, and single-threaded programs. These procedures have complicated the task of instruction scheduling, loop, branch, logic and steps of execution. The good GPU to deal with data structures and predictable rules of access mode. The APU is designed to allow the CPU and GPU is the perfect cooperation between the two highlights of the collection, use heterogeneous computing to achieve optimal performance of the whole.
OpenCL
Here we must mention OpenCL, OpenCL full name is the Open Computing Language, which means Open Computing Language, is the first general purpose parallel programming of heterogeneous systems of open standards and free, is a unified programming environment help software developers for high-performance computer servers, computer systems, office portable handheld devices to write efficient code, but widely used in multi-core processors (CPU), graphics processor (GPU), the architecture, cell type and a digital signal processor (DSP) and other parallel processors. At present, most are based on heterogeneous computing for OpenCL (before AMD Stream, which is based on OpenCL 1.1), and outdoor APU, we will see in the Lynx platform or OpenCL OpenCL as a basis for the change from heterogeneous applications that will make full use of the CPU APU and GPU acceleration.
Product: A8-3800 AMD will not shrink - to experience the Pavilion DV4-1029TX perfect performance alone was.

◇ not shrink - to experience the perfect performance alone was

E350 platform with the previous motherboard only provides four PCI-E lanes for independence was used, even if we install a graphics card alone can not fully play in performance, so that many users public will be uncomfortable, but this time based on the Llano APU platform with the A8 Lynx chipset provides 16 channel groups PCI-E, and supports divided into 8 x 8x mode to provide two independent graphics capabilities to fight. We can say that we experience on the Lynx platform will be the perfect unique representation significantly.

E350 products will not only provide a full PCI-e

A75 Most motherboards provide two PCI-E interfaces

Mothers were released from the point of view, E350 motherboard will be provided is not a full PCI-E interface, but its independence was far beyond the basic performance, but all traditional of the Pavilion DV4-1033TX platform integration significant enough to meet the needs of entry-level users. The A75 provides the motherboards are often two PCI-E graphics interface card in the next when you can enjoy 16x PCI-E channel, and received two cards also provide a dual system of ordinary fires 8x (CrossFire. ) Of course, most importantly, the Hybrid CrossFire (Hybrid CrossFire), below, will be described in detail.
Product: A8-3800 AMD has a new interface, new product changes Socket FM1

◇ New products are the new interface socket FM1 change

AMD has been done in the tradition of the interface is very good, K10 architecture released in 2008 on the interface was very worried, but AMD will make a very good backward compatibility, which is able to use AM3 AM2 and AM2 + socket on the base interface, the user of the compatibility of AMD's effort is much appreciated, and Intel introduced more different side of the interface, the first platform to X58 LGA 1366 LGA 775 P55 LGA 1156 platform to the current P67 LGA 1155 platform are not compatible, but also a headache for consumers. This time AMD released the A-series processors are changing the interface - A series APU will use Socket FM1 new interface standard. Then, the user will have a headache? Should be good, because the APU and CPU are not like products.
CPU Socket Socket FM1
Processor socket Socket FM1 and post-3850 A8

FM1 socket interface pin count is 905, and 941 of AM3 + is completely different (AM3 is 938 pin AM2 940-pin), while the position and arrangement of the definition and AM3 + is also completely different, so in theory the two are not compatible.

Layout of AMD products to indicate

We can see that AMD's future plans is to allow the coexistence of FM1 and AM3/AM3 +, assigned to market positioning of the various different interfaces, the AMD APU will be used after such a product strategy. In fact a lot, so being able to tell users not to use on different platforms is not compatible with the CPU / APU.
Product: A8-3800 AMD processor speed and passion - a native mother USB3/SATA3

◇ Fast and the Furious - native mother USB3/SATA3

Performance of course depends on the Pavilion DV4-1040EE platform, not just watching a series APU itself, a series APU is going to do with this type of motherboard? A75 we get is based on the chipset (ASRock A75 Pro4 / Colorful Tomahawk C.A75 X5), A75 is an important part of the Lynx platform, under which there is a chipset A55. Some asked that the chipset is inappropriate because the motherboard platform Lynx has full single-chip design, AMD chip called FCH (full English Hub Controller Fusion), of course, we always used to be called in accordance with the chipset.

AMD chipset FCH

Windows 8 leaked version of the first experiment
"The boss gave me the installation of the system," the Sony VGP-BPS13 proposal in the major electronic stores often can be heard, if you sometimes hear, 98% of the installed operating system Microsoft. 40% of which is filled with Windows XP, 60% of the full Windows 7.

In China, for most people, they do not know that Microsoft does not know how much money the operating system in the world, we only know that they are using Windows XP or Windows 7, it's easy to become, Microsoft can say that this strategy is completely successful, because the Chinese market them to prevent the invasion of other operating systems, such as: Apple Mac OS, Linux and other derivative versions, of course, there are two reasons for troubles of the system.

Microsoft in China in recent years to emphasize the word "piracy," China is really big piracy Microsoft, but in recent years greatly speed up the collection to see the pace of Microsoft, piracy off the system from the source to the appeals court cafe manager, all carried out in order .

It may also include a marketing strategy for Microsoft, the software is not piracy, a developer of software that China has no shortage of talent, lack of market for Microsoft, to enter into the strategy of the Chinese market after it to make changes in circumstances and economic conditions, because, after all that much difference, it may be a metaphor for a few years ago, Chinese people are not rich, but will be forced to charge lower royalties other features of the Sony VGP-BPS9A Battery operating system market, so blindly hand money to expand as the market first, but now the money for Microsoft the time has come.

One of them, Windows 8 for Windows 7 compared

    Microsoft has released many parts of the operating system that we are more familiar with the Microsoft MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows XP, known as the greatest influence on the global operating system Although in 2009 , Microsoft stopped updating of Windows XP, but there is still half the world's computer operating system Windows XP.

    Microsoft released an operating system of each lead to a lot of people care about, care about it as a system, what are the changes as compatibility and configuration requirements, but for the average user of system changes is the most intuitive user interface, Microsoft makes the development of Windows 8 operating system, known as the successor to Windows 7, but at this point I took a different approach to the above, the specific reasons described in the back for everyone.
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 bit ISO file size
Windows 8 Build 7989 x64-bit final size of the ISO file

    Windows 8 leaked version was popular in the network for some time, I use a newer version of Windows 8 Build 7989, this version is only 64-bit operating system.

    Here I want to give each of the VGP-BPS9B common user-level to tell you about Windows 8 and Windows 7 change, but from a technical point of view, that this comparison is meaningless, but I think this is the most common users want to know the content.

    Compared to using the latest version of Windows 7 SP1, as well as 64-bit operating system, which analyzed only from the file ISO, than Windows 7, Windows 8, what 0.36GB (Note: some 368.64MB).
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 bit system size
Windows 8 Build 7989 x64-bit final size of the system

    After installing Windows 7 Windows 8 is greater than 1 GB, I also emphasized that the few, the main difference is in the root system folder Windows, of course, possession of 1 GB of space in the end, also need Microsoft to do something to answer.

    In fact, I would say, "Brother In fact, this Windows 8 installation interface, I was right!". In the setup, I was surprised, because with the filtered version of Windows 8 and Windows 7 installation process a little different point of view are not, completely copied version of Windows 7, but with the leaked version of the point of view is understandable, because you do not process for developing Microsoft, to know that there is, so it may just be a sequence of questions.

    Microsoft Windows 8 build 7989 leaked operating system interface has undergone significant changes in the trunk, so I also used this version for everyone to do the test.

    I have tried several virtual machines, not very well compatible with Windows 8 operating system, so that each took a load when the system interface, you can see from the pictures, significant changes, Microsoft logo, no, replaced a large goldfish, goldfish in the Microsoft Windows 7 wallpaper form, which once seemed to also replace the text under the picture for Welcome, we can find a friend in the goldfish spit bubbles, unfortunately, the test version of Windows 8 spit bubbles process has not reached the animation, and an image only.

    The only difference between landing an interface the default icon in the system has changed, Windows 8 Log screen is even more stable, but Windows 7 is even more biased in favor of vitality and youth, I believe that the changes will not only because later versions also show will be more different show to the user.

"Shhh .... let's not leak our hard work" that is, do not reveal our hard work, this is the first Microsoft operating system seen such a text.

    Although the built-in Windows, not very concerned about all these games, but each released a new Windows operating system built-in games are always some changes, we tested the operating system Windows 8 leaked version could be on the ground, built-in game number does not change on Compared to Windows 7, but swapped with each other about it.

    The quality of the operating system for users with a clear boundary, for example, to get Windwos Vista, Windows Vista, has a VGP-BPL21 Battery unique and beautiful appearance, Microsoft is assisting in the operating system, but the result? People are still using Windows XP, the reason is simple, configuration requirements are too high, will be installed after the incompatible hardware and software, these problems for the average user really can not stand people.

    Tests for 64-bit full version, 2 minutes after booting the system, we can observe the process and the CPU, memory usage, Windows 8 leaked version of the process 31, CPU and memory usage was 0% and 25%, Windows 7, the boot process at 33, CPU placement rate of 1%, 32% of memory, only data from the leaked version of Windows 8 will reduce the requirements for the hardware, in the same configuration above will be faster, but the two systems are very bad times, of course, we can not rule out some of the reasons for solutions that result. (Note: Both systems are tested without installing any software)

    For Microsoft, it's fat, of course, can not let go, but the Windows 7 operating system, and relatively less suitable for the Tablet PC so that Windows 8 is likely, in my opinion, the main venue for the development of ARM.

    In fact, the virtual keyboard is not a special case of Windows 8, Windows 7 will also appear in, but by default does not appear only in comparison with Windows 7, Windows 8 screen keyboard more biased in favor of style to Apple, but this is largely, Windows 8 system will be in touch when the line appears similar to the tail, as well as the right to make rapid function. (Note: Windows 7 with the help of law requires a few seconds in length)
Windows 8 software compatibility information

    In the picture you see? Yes, it's Windows 7 compatibility mode, I tested a few programs, and some of them can run some Windows 8 will need to use Windows 7 compatibility mode, in fact, this test may prove that Windows 8 kernel as compared to Windows 7 has really changed, I also found another leak of Windows 8 versions of each will be a new system, different settings, different programs, different compatibility, so you could say that Microsoft is exploring the road, going forward, as the official version of the process of selecting a system, Microsoft has made it to learn from the test version, which they consider best.

Seven, Windows 8 questions related to the forecast
Seven, Windows 8 questions related to the forecast

     In Microsoft Windows 8 In this paper, we can not talk too much doomed, because all is not yet implemented, in fact, we have thought, but that the product is sold in the market is so hot that it should not be upgrading soon, but This rule does not apply to Microsoft, for example, to get Windwos XP, Microsoft XP Widnows release date of October 25, 2001, during the period of its existence before Microsoft released a total of 9 operating systems, including the familiar Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 Windwos 7, it will not be released for Windwos 7 Windows 8 is? The answer should be, after the author predicted the eyes of my Windows 8, what in the end.

The question, Windows 8 will have more than one version?

: Microsoft has several versions of the concept there, I think that Windows 8, in which they would never have enough, because the multiplayer version of the management at various levels, in order to make some time to spend, regardless of the poor to the rich can buy from you Microsoft Windows systems, the result is very simple, "make more money."

The question, Windows 8 will be compared with the performance of Windows 7 upgrade?

: That's right, the operating system from Microsoft has been replaced, but only in Windows Vista is not accepted by the user, and Microsoft has already received from the failure of Vista, the lesson (this lesson a little high ...), so that performance is needed, but to increase the degree necessary to wait the real test.

The question, Windows 8, when released

: Microsoft executives said in April 2012 will be officially released, but this time definitely not accurate, I think we can not guarantee its own, the latest Microsoft Windows 8 in the disclosure, but I set were, in my opinion, Windows 8 major event for the ARM platform, but on the Tablet PC market, more and more is Apple, so I think, Microsoft will release Windows 8 in 2012 operating system, but can start with the ARM platform version, the PC version will have to wait.

The question, Windows 8 will be the interface has changed you?

A: No, the reason is simple, starting with Windows 95, Microsoft has not been large changes in the UI system, but Windows 8 real purpose ARM platform, Microsoft will not be too much effort to do unnecessary things for the PC platform, so that the interface remains unchanged.

The question, Windows 8 will be what changes the user experience

: This is really tragic, because I can see the loading screen of Windows 8 is a goldfish in the official version of the operating system it should be ...... user experience when using the touch, PC version is not updated.

Summary:

     With Windows 8 seen from the leaked version does not do anything to change, but we do not lose faith, because in the end, just leaked version, Microsoft is still much to do, maybe, when there is an official release of powerful features you can not think of ~ ~ I have not seen the final version of Windows 8 (of course, it can not), so more is still speculation, if users want to test Windows 8, I think it can wait, the current version is not stable, as I have said , there are many procedures are not well compatible, so we still have to start working with Windows 7.

7 major feature will be available? Reveal the evolution of the case Thurs

These years, we hunt the case Thurs
★ these years, if we hunt Thurs

    According to Baidu Index watched this movie, "In these years we have been chasing the girl," I think in one way or another have had an experience, not just love. SONY VGP-BPS9 it reminds me, I work most frequently in contact with products of the chassis, as a player, these years we have been running the game ... ... Cooler master Divinity as the chassis Wu (but was abandoned), CoolerMaster Pioneer P100 ... ... have a chassis generation of classic game.

    The game has changed, the configuration changes, manufacturers of technical maturity and popularity of these years we have been running the game in a perfect frame? If the same price can now purchase the benefits or burden? In other words, what type of frame is the frame of game players really need?

    I will use two different times on behalf of two chassis gaming products through a variety of sizes and design features were compared, revealing how the game has evolved chassis, so as to come online with players current purchase the chassis game should have these features or function.

Group, all three-dimensional three-dimensional →
★ → the panel all three dimensions into three dimensions

    To attract the attention of consumers, such as motherboards, graphics cards these internal hardware installed in the chassis are designed to have a special appearance to attract consumers, and as a platform for home, taking into account the "face" of the case is even more not to mention it. There is no doubt, buy a frame of play, the point is that we first focus on one place.
    Frame game has been sought by the SONY VGP-BPS9/S players, pioneers on the chassis CoolerMaster a good example of a "year" standard frame of play, but it is clear that the time the game is no longer a pioneer in the standard case , then the same (399 million) price of the game box apparently is projected to increase from the panel of three-dimensional stereo output all? The appearance of the entire gaming chassis looks more plump and full, full three-dimensional.
Three-dimensional panel
Overall three-dimensional

    However, the two images above, the second image is more deadly eye, although the first panel are joined each design element, but the general atmosphere is not yet a second, more three-dimensional images. Involvement, this case concerning the pioneer of the aesthetic of today is too flat, while the SONY VGP-bps13 recent case of domestic Titans game manufacturers flagship game play more three-dimensional case, more in tune with the new features of the game box
    [Affirming] the appearance of elements of the game box - a whole three-dimensional design.

Of course, the election can not be the only aspect of the chassis, manufacturing, materials, interior design, scalability, etc. These are the most critical case of a show. On a "year" of the game chassis cooling performance major, even under the power to fix the structure in a separate conduit after the first run of the functional design remains unchanged. Especially the installation of a front panel 12 or 14CM fan or single fan dual purpose is simply to give the cold air inside the chassis.
On a "year" gaming chassis air duct, fan front air intake is the main function

    Noting that players can find products more in the market, while keeping the SONY VGP-BPS21 fan bracket on the front panel to optimize the functions of the air duct installation, also added a variety of panel features: Fan Hyun design led lights, hot-swappable hard drive cage design, tool-free drive ... ...

120mm LED fan, red and blue can be used for players to choose
Left for the red metal frame net gambling on a panel design, the front right of the cage to support hard drive hot swap

    Memories of the above comparison, we hunt these years of chassis front panel game has grown from a single fan can be installed, to evolve into multi-functional panel. We will be on the bottom panel is divided into three parts, the upper part of the main function is to have tool-free driving position, the position of the central fan, the lower the hard drive cage and little ventilation. Most obvious feature of this development for the large amount of data to meet user needs, to meet the VGP-BPS22 thermal performance of the players must continue to meet the needs of individual users ... ...

    [Affirming] games chassis front panel features - versatile to meet different user needs.

Interface technologies forward as rich → 3.0
★ interface I / O area before wealth → 3.0 technology to keep pace with

    Box at the top of the gaming front I / O Interface-rich region is a fundamental requirement, because we are dealing with different players, different needs, rich user interfaces to meet different needs. Another point is why the progress of the game box? Mainly because of USB 3.0 technology, technology hot swap hard drive ... maturity.
On a "year" Front I / O panel close-up

    If a frame in the design of the IO interface are as follows: two USB 2.0, eSATA and audio interface, I can certainly tell you that this design enough for a family or the needs of novice users, but the main frame of passion for the game, differentiated individual actors, in terms of data storage and output devices will be higher requirements, clearly need to improve on the map.
After changing the playing chassis IO interface and the addition of 3.0 hot-swap disk drives feature

Hot-swap hard drive made

    When USB3.0 and gradually incorporated into the chassis provides hot-swap technology, the introduction of the game when the first case, but we see the market in many parts of the chassis frame of the game does not reflect changes of substance . It is also the electrical industry was the lack of effective regulation and the reason for the confusion.

    [Affirming] game before the chassis I / O panel features - USB3 .0 and technology in a hot new must-have feature.

    Traces of the backplane can be said to throw the time the most popular items, backplane traces is a function of the game must have a chassis, but many players in the purchase of the VGP-BPS13/B chassis when the chassis is only concerned about the number of holes and traces back the space Of course, only concerned can do both basic objective of the alignment. But I mean, it's really learning a new super, especially the drawing in relief.

Although the hard drive capacity up to 1TB, 2TB and so on, but a hard drive high definition big game is obviously not respond, then they need to support multiple hard drives.

    [Affirming] game features hard drive bays - free tools, hot swap, support DDS, short number of lots.

Black box → improved hardness and wear resistance of
Black box → ★ increased hardness and wear resistance of the chassis

    A black box the name suggests is designed for VGP-BPL10 computer processing of the chassis black paint, is an oxidation process. The main function of the black box is to improve the hardness and wear resistance, increased internal frame ornament, often used to each other on the chassis.

However, outside the black of the game in the chassis are not blackening
Gambling inside and outside the black box

    Not in the chassis by the contrast of the dark, the first is less easy to draw in and outside the black box of the game. Even without the side to show through the black of the internal hardware and beautiful.

    [Affirming] the black box of the game features - inside and outside of the black-oriented, more aesthetic and protective.

Heat is the dust in the heat have both continued →
★ Heat is dust in the heat have both continued →

    Look at the changes in the structure of the chassis, the chassis is 38 degrees CPU cooling time, the vertical chassis cooling fan on the processor and graphics CE, the chassis is 38 degrees inverted graphics cooling time, and in the process changes in the structure of the chassis, the chassis has the game on the majority of the user's players, changing the heat is the only continuation of the trend of players, the dust is also important.
Heat is the only player to continue playing the chassis

    Let the continued heat is the only player of the era, the game is so how? To enter the channel cooling air, independent of the cooling, but not anti-dust design, the biggest problem is that control power is guaranteed, but the phenomenon of vacuum cooling is very serious. Leaving aside, at the top can surf the web and the position of the fan, or to examine the front of a fan can blow by the heat inside the chassis.
Stronger cooling leads
Power-bit system with easy to pull the dust.
Top is also anti-dust design with a comprehensive

    Time in the heat of the game based on the chassis has been optimized, the top panel and front made of metal, such as surfing the web design, and added two side fans side by side to complete the cooling of the CPU, the power position and the front are most likely dust where dust were added to the network, using indirect cooling platform chassis-wide.

    [Affirming] characteristics of the functional frame of play - the heat and dust both hands grasp each other constraints.

Frame game has changed why?
Chassis game ★ changed why?

    Changes in the case of game fully demonstrated a great student of the theory - the difference in the world is changing and developing. Just over this theory is that all players present new additions to the platform users are so loyal to the experience of. I think this change is becoming a game or chassis production standards and purchasing.

    Seven features, inside and outside, we all say, the game box missing evolutionary characteristics of these seven is not a real sense of the game box

    What causes the evolution of the game is not out of the chassis, but it is most wanted by users? I think it is inseparable from the following three reasons.
The game has changed chassis

Replacement upgrade ◎ PC configuration main

    Think ahead x79, AMD8 nuclear bulldozers come ... ... more fully describes the configuration, performance, increasingly, the requirements for the chassis platforms before moving out of the chassis of the game chasing the player, but a true encounter seven major feature of the game box .

◎ game player frame differences in user needs change

    Like water, like LED lights dazzle, like air, like dust, like high-speed data transmission, such as labor-saving and convenient tool-less hot-swap, etc., to purchase the game Each player needs their own chassis are based on the face of increasingly more differentiated demand for players on a set of optimal equipment. Only your ready to win the player's favorite, which is why the fall in the global market, but the game is still thriving as the chassis.

Changes in business strategy ◎, maturity and popularity mainly technical

    Whenever a technology is gradually expanding. Hot-swappable hard drive, USB 3.0 at first only a few manufacturers of the patent, but now we can see that the game almost all cases, or even an ordinary hot-swap chassis. This change due to the reduction of production costs, the technology has matured.

    Evolution of the game box, the player you are willing to equip themselves for the PC platform yet?

Sense of history, powerful dual-core HTC Sensation Review

Product: Sensation (G14), the HTC phone unprecedented "first three"
    With the popularity of 1GHz mobile phone, cell phone industry began to move higher in 2011, is a "dual-core era of" progress. NVIDIA, Texas Instruments and Qualcomm officially ship dual-core processor, dual-core mobile phone officially became the Three Kingdoms period. With the entire first half of the SONY VGP-BPL21 Battery Nvidia Tegra 2 Platform, high-performance leader "dual core", and today HTC officially delivered the first dual-core mobile Sensation officially became zol telephone channel opened up a new dual-core era, which is the current world's first third-generation Snapdragon MSM8650 processor with a product.
HTC Sensation

    Sensation's "vision," the HTC phone, which can not hope to conquer the consumer visually. But when the "high-pass first dual-core processor", "HTC first Sense3.0 interface", "the industry's first QHD SLCD screen" the glory of all the focus on this phone do not know why everyone is so looking forward to this Sensation. Today, let us reveal the SONY VGP-BPS9 secret of the HTC Sensation.
Video
    The first is a simple box, the HTC's simple philosophy is well represented on the packaging. After opening the packaging machine can actually see all the accessories package includes: head, battery, data cable, manual, etc., with you, I also published the entire article, Ye Hao, purchase, when you take into account when selecting.

Nothing new look

Nothing new look

    Appearance of the HTC Sensation, and the SONY VGP-BPS9A appearance of many new, still use the large touch-screen design, in our hands and feel very similar to the Desire HD. Machine dimensions reached 123x68x11.8 mm head phones, which is relatively large, but the machine weighs 164 grams, it is in our hands, the whole sum.

    Positive HTC Sensation uses 4.3-inch capacitive SLCD screen resolution of QHD (960x640) level. Front of the machine still a necessary Andorid four standard buttons, but luckily everything is a full-touch design. HTC LOGO at the top of a relatively low-key, and became a silver bar design handset HTC installed and set up next to the SONY VGP-BPS9/S Battery front of the camera. The whole front of the machine seems to Orthodox, not a lot of fancy.
    The increasing popularity of the system Andorid, the appearance is now the basic form. Large touch-screen phones, such as positive changes in the base is not much. For many, "the appearance of the party," The feeling is a relatively formal design can not entice him, but a large touch-screen phone, the HTC Touch and the first factor is the experience, from Sensation in this area are familiar with a fully qualified, grinding machine designed to make the phone feel a kind of a sharp knife cut the butter, it feels a friend should not be left between.

    HTC is designed to recover the core, the feeling is still the color. Back to the main diagonal, this is a silver strip designed backplanes, it is divided into three parts, the back, also played the role of a visual buffer.

    Back to HTC Sensation equipped with a 800-megapixel camera with dual LED flash and design. In order not to commit before the HD2 camera is exposed to a result of wear and tear issues, Sensation, with a concave design, can effectively protect your camera and flash. However, to protect classified protection, the author here, or to remind you of the SONY VGP-bps13 next user, embedded in a gray camera is not easy to clean when you have to pay attention.
HTC Sensation
 
Detailed descriptions of the HTC Sensation

    Side HTC Sensation use the curved design, excellent metallic luster back to improve the texture of the whole machine. And the side you will see the volume control button and MicroUSB data interface. The power button and 3.5mm headphone jack is not an accident at the top, the whole machine is the flagship of people are familiar with the special features.
Thick cover
 
"Violence" disassemble
    Generally, we design the SONY VGP-BPS13/B battery compartment, in passing, after all, primarily a SIM card slot and a microSD memory card slot, but Sensation's battery compartment, but I have to say it. Back to the entire one-piece design, and the entire back half of all single, open the back door in pieces, even the front camera are all exposed to off, this is really so much I try to unlock the phone, the HTC cover most of the "violent" one.
How does the performance of third-generation Snapdragon?

Actually, do not force a three-generation Snapdragon?

    As already mentioned, each feeling the HTC is the industry's first third-generation dual-core Snapdragon MSM8260 processor. The new Scorpion processor, dual core design, the frequency locked 1.2GHz. This processor is the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon using adreno 220 GPU, and supports the Open VG1.1 OpenGLES2.0 and graphics rendering.

    Third-generation Snapdragon processor is the most significant results to support 1080p playback and recording, the built-in GPU, the chip can then extract the time to keep a very low power consumption, and the biggest support for 24bit WXGA resolution (1280x800 pixels) display. Although the high-pass queries to the official website of adreno newest 220 technical parameters, and the previous QSD8250 processor adreno 205 GPU compared to:
Video
Adreno 220 triangles 88m / s, 532M 3D pixels / sec, supports 1080p video playback and recording
Adreno 205 triangles 41m / s, 245m 3D pixels / sec, supports 720p playback and recording
Running a sub-test
Multi-point test

     The comparison we can see the GPU is a new point twice before, so the video has also been confirmed. So at the beginning of the evaluation system, first ran for HTC Feel the test points, but the results do not seem so satisfactory, which quadrant Adcanced Antutu and test results are not quite so high (Samsung Galaxy SII points 3xxx running around, ATRIX 4G access 29XX or so). What causes it?

     When the query, we learned that three generations of MSM8X60 Snapdragon processor uses two ARM Cortex-A8 processor core, and used the 45-nanometer technology. The main reason is to reduce the resulting fraction of the Cortex-A8 core concern for the rear legs at the same frequency of the Cortex-A9 core (Tegra 2, and the Hummingbird, the A5 processor) as the Cortex-A8 core performance for more than 20%. Of course, the real experience, where the difference is not obvious, let's look back on systems analysis.

     As already mentioned to you, the HTC Sensation Android2.3.3 to use the SONY VGP-BPS13/Q operating system, and equipped with the latest Sense3.0 interface. It has also become the first current carrying Sense3.0 HTC mobile phone user interface, new interface design brings you believe a different view.

    The first change is mind after you unlock the screen, the most commonly used phone, email, camera, four functions are transferred to open data interface, so users can quickly access after clicking. If the needs of regular users to open it just drag the bottom of the garden can be, the animation is very smooth.

 
Scene Selection

    Also the screen lock is a very intriguing feature is that people can change the SONY VGP-BPS13/S theme, we can choose to set them up to six scenes, each scene is focused on the other hand, you can choose between different user groups.
The choice affects

Video
     Sense3.0 interface over our surprise, only one open interface, so we give a lot of surprises. Author interface Sense3.0 given after the first evaluation is:

     Since Sense interface, then the continued presence of the classic user interface design and make high do not go away. Sense of the user interface to see the changes in general is not very large. The HTC interface, but this will further strengthen the weather, the weather effects are really smooth, quiet, and say look at the weather Demo Video:
Sense of Connection
Weather Widgets greatly enhanced
Video
    Sesen3.0 interface, the biggest change is the weather features added, we see the weather in the user interface is very realistic, and there is a special animation effects to appear. At the same time, the main display in standby mode, the interface can also add sound effects, so the boot can not know the current weather, so to say so many phones Sense interface is the most important weather features, and no doubt it Sense3.0 function of extreme weather. After reading the weather, the SONY VGP-BPS13A second author Sense3.0 user interface evaluation:

Unsurpassed great
QHD resolution screen experience in a comfortable

    Dual-core processors to join the HTC phone upgrading to a new level of fluency, we see that the system is based on Android2.3.3 emotional function is very comprehensive, aircraft, WiFi, hot spots, 3G capabilities, the Internet can be said that a very comprehensive, not only can help mobile Internet, but can also be shared with other devices with wireless Internet access.
The main menu and add a popular user interface Download

    Sensation of Flash support is enough to make a dual-core processor machines, driven by the Flash video playback is very smooth, the phenomenon does not appear out of the hull. Since the flash when it comes to double-click to maximize view.

The display can be adaptive

   We have also mentioned earlier Sensation uses QHD resolution display, this display has been used Atrix 4G, so many of my friends are also single-line operation of the application. Therefore, the author also focuses on the public for all to test the compatibility of the results of the game is very good, very few games on-screen buttons to set the SONY VGP-BPS13A/Q problem, most of the games are fully compatible.
   In the future, as the QHD resolution number, the compatibility is not a high-resolution cell phone issue.
    HTC Sensation built a very rich program, with the exception of some SNS sites outside of the most amazing is the new HTC Warch services. It can use your phone's mobile cinema, so the easiest way, users can enjoy the latest movies. Although the HTC Watch uses progressive download technology allows users to download the entire movie without having to wait until the end, you can begin to appreciate the movie.
| Watch the HTC

    Of course, this feature is less useful for Chinese users, after all, payment channels, is still a problem, but I believe that this is a great way to experience the sensation of the domestic market and acquired a very good results.
 

Video
    In addition, the HTC Watch this great video is a very local cloud services. Dual-core Snapdragon processor to maximize the benefits is to support 1080p, and SRS sound quality can get even better sound quality. We tested the performance of 1080p video, the Sensation, well, almost lag, which is proportional to 2 Tegra chip 1080p video playback a lot stronger.
    HTC Sensation use the 800-megapixel camera and is equipped with dual-LED flash. This configuration is considered among the best in the HTC cell phone set. HTC has also introduced a change in the VGP-BPS21 Battery interface. Flip the camera around the camera and switch to a dedicated button on the right, you can manually zoom.
    Photo evidence of the impact you will see an 8-megapixel camera is not treated, the whole picture is very clear, while the idea of ​​the details and color reproduction are very good, I believe that this phone's camera can do a lot of impact on customer satisfaction.

    Sensation support 1080p video recording on a video recording, I also recorded a video for all, we can watch the video below Click here to download the actual results.

 
1080P video recording support

I like the video

    HTC Sensation, Bluetooth, microSD memory expansion support. We are testing the use of the video, and the main program and other mobile phones were almost the same speed, 400MB file takes about 90 seconds.

Stand-by:
1520 mA when the battery

    Standby use HTC sensation of 1520 mAh battery, SONY VGP-BPS22 Battery for HTC phone, which is relatively high up. At the same time, the use of third-generation Snapdragon processor power consumption is also improved in the three-day holiday, which I normally use is unlikely to maintain the intensity prior to the next base in the afternoon, you'd better be ready to go out of the battery.

HTC Sensation

Summary:

    HTC Sensation phone in the first dual-core processors have received a lot of user attention. Although the three-generation Snapdragon processor performance testing is not present at the highest level, but in later functional testing gave us a lot of surprises. 1080P video recording, without the pressure, but also the participation of Sense3.0 dual-core mobile experience with smooth sliding effects and fantastic weather Widgets. Experience with the current domination of their surroundings, Sensation phone is still considered a very good product.
