turion tl50 to tl60 will i notice much difference

im thinking of upgrading to a tl60 and 2 gig for 677 ram
how much would this speed up my 5102 from what it is now
tl50 and 1 gig of 533 ram

 

Quite a bit faster I imagine. You get 25% higher clock compared to TL-50 and double the L2 cache. Is this TL-60 65nm or 90nm? There are two versions if I'm not mistaken- 90nm would be hotter while 65nm should run just like your TL-50.

90nm unfortunately. So you get additional 4W- I think you can live with that

 

whats 4w mean will it slow it down

 

I meant that TL-60 dissipates 4 Watts more than TL-50 (has higher TDP) - meaning it gets somewhat hotter.
That shouldn't be a problem though.

 

i think you will notice the ram upgrade more

 

That depends- there is no need for 2GB on XP whereas it may be useful on Vista (unless all you do is office tasks)
Still TL-60 is much faster than TL-50 and that surely is a noticeable upgrade.

 

I have a Tl-60 and it is super fast, you will like it.

 

and, just using the thread, will I notice a great improvement form a semprom 3500+ to a turion tl-52?
Thanks in advance!
ps: this is the 4th time i ask this and no one wants to answer... oh cruel life...

 

how about windows xp pro 64 bit how much better would it run than the 32 bit version with the turion tl60 and 2 gig of ram

 

You will not notice much in every day use,but you will notice if you encode a movie,or use other applications wich use cpu power -and will help a lot in games.
I used a TL 50 overclocked to 2Ghz in an Aspire 5102 for a while.This is about what you get with TL 60.
From my point of view,this is an expensive upgrade -AMD cpu's are quite cheap now -on eBay they seem to be a lot overpriced.
I sugest you overclock your TL50 to 1,8Ghz wich is on the safe side regarding stability and heat.You gain speed for your CPU and in the same time you overclock your memory without being need to upgrade anything.
Thrust me -5102 is a good overclocker.Now I have 9302 and I can not overclock at all.

 

and exactly how did you overclocked yours? using any bios mods or any program?
I guess a TL-52 can achieve same clock as a TL-60... so I would like to give it a try...

 

You can read this thread to find out just how seaman overclocked his 5102

Basically all you have to do is use a program called clockgen. 1.8ghz is a very stable speed for the tl-50/tl-52, no need for anything more.

 

ive just orderd a tl-64 cpu i just want to know how much hotter it would get over the tl-50 and im i ok with the fan thats already in the laptop (not sure u can put a bigger one in anyway ) and would the extra heat make any difference to the perfomance

 

with installing the tl64 and 2 gig of 667 i should quite a fast notebook from the tl50 and 1 gig 533 ram which i have at the moment

 

I would get the TL-60 since its 65nm over 90nm that means less power & more performance.

 

is the tl-60 really 65nm?

 

Yes but it depends on which generation the processor comes from. They can be either 65nm(Tyler) which are the newer ones drawing 31W, or 90nm(Trinidad) which are the "original" first generation drawing 35W. So not all TL-60s are 65nm.

 

yes, it will be HUGE for games that can use a multi core processor. Office tasks, you won't notice much of a difference. Video, assuming only using 1 core, will also not be a huge improvement, maybe a little bit.

Basically if you anything that can use a multi core, It would be HUGE in that app.

also if you are a multi tasker you can have say 1 instances of a cpu intensive program on your second core, and run, something else on your first core with no slow down.


I love multi core proccessors... I have a quad at home, and I can have that one running at 75% at times! image that on a single core!
