In DIY installation, Intel is the preferred platform for most users. Its rich products, strong performance, rich supply and update speed are very attractive. In particular, sandy bridge processor, nicknamed "sand bridge", which has just been released this year, has attracted global attention with its powerful performance and become the first choice for many players. Unfortunately, the matching 6 series chipset is in trouble. The listed motherboards have been recalled, leaving only some processors alone.
What should I do at this time? Some people turned around and chose the AMD platform, which has always focused on high cost performance, but users who pursue higher performance must be unwilling. In fact, there is no need to worry. We still have a good choice. Although "sand bridge" is very attractive, it has just come out. There are not many products and the price is relatively expensive. In fact, the previous generation platform is also very worthy of consideration at this time. Although they seem outdated, they have actually developed very mature and still have a long life cycle. There is no need to worry about being eliminated in two or three years.
On the LGA1156 interface platform of Intel's previous generation, core i5-750 is a processor sought after by mainstream users. The installed store name rate is very high. Even if the replacement core i5-760 has been released for a long time, its brilliance is still not covered up. But then again, the products that the people like to see and hear are the places where JS likes to play tricks most. Few manufacturers can produce processors, so they basically don't have to worry about fakes, but there is another unique small worry, which is engineering samples.
Engineering samples are test products made by manufacturers to facilitate inspection and testing before the official release of the processor. They are only for their own, partners and media to have a taste and can not be used for retail, because they are only samples. There may be bugs in function, performance, compatibility and other aspects, affecting normal use. Nevertheless, some profit obsessed manufacturers will still try to sneak the engineering samples to the market for huge profits, which will harm many unknown players. Imagine if you buy a sample of a processor with hidden bugs and have some inexplicable problems when using it, how to check it? Who would have thought it was the processor?
At this time, experts will advise you to bring some testing tools to check when installing the machine, but what can find out whether the processor is a sample? Of course, the famous Everest (now called aida64) can, but people charge for it. It's troublesome and a little unkind to remove it. In fact, there is a free domestic tool that can relieve this trouble, that is, the driver management software driver wizard produced by driver house.
Many people may not understand. Isn't the driver wizard a driver? How can I check the processor? In fact, the driver wizard does not only upgrade the driver. You should know that the driver serves the hardware. Naturally, the driver wizard should also do his duty. He has added a detailed hardware detection function early to check the real body of the processor. In fact, he is overqualified.
Well, having said so much, let's see if the drive elves really have golden eyes. There are various reasons why we can't recognize the ijs-750 processor alone, but we can't see it at all. Put it into the chassis, install other kinds of hardware, install the operating system, download and install the driver wizard, wait for a few seconds to start, and then go to the "hardware detection" module. The words "engineering sample" can be seen under the processor icon on the left, which clearly tells us that this core i5-750 is indeed an engineering sample. Now the truth comes out.
If you are interested in hardware and want to have a deeper understanding of the capabilities of this core i5-750, the information provided on the hardware detection page may not be enough. At this time, you can switch to the "details" tab, click the CPU, and then click Intel Core i5-750. Hundreds of relevant contents will be listed on the right, and the identity of its engineering samples will also be revealed here.
By the way, we also tested another highly publicized driver software driving life, and found that it also has hardware detection function, but it is very simple and can not judge the identity of engineering samples at all.
