This means a cheap desktop processor can often outperform a "higher spec" laptop chip.
While PC makers will tell you netbooks are much less capable than, say, a quad-core desktop processor with dual graphics cards and 8 gigs of memory, if you measure a machine's capability by how much mischief it can get you into, then you may not be able to find a better machine on the market.
On the 673-taxon metabarcoding dataset (using a modern Intel desktop processor), for instance, r8s requires 3 days to complete, whereas RAxML in combination with PTP only requires a total of about 20 min to return a species delimitation.
Using our methods, a full sweep of parameter space (as provided in Supporting Information File S1) requires only a few seconds of desktop processor time and so comprehensive sensitivity analysis around a region of parameter space relevant to a given applied problem is also readily obtained.
Among the launches expected at the IDF are Itanium, Intel's very high-end server chip also known as Merced, a new low-cost processor, code-named Timna, and a new high-end desktop processor, code-named Willamette.
The TabPro S doesn't have a desktop quality processor like the Surface Pro 4 does; it comes with a 6th generation Core m3 processor clocked at 2.2GHz and has 4GB of RAM, which is more than enough if you are a power blogger and need to use programs such as Photoshop, Microsoft Word, and Internet browsing software.
The Intel Corporation said yesterday that it would delay the release of a faster version of its Pentium desktop processor until next year.
With the application developed here, written in Python, and using a desktop computer processor with 48-Gb RAM, the process is approximately linear for up to 60 million combinations, taking approximately 0.2 s for a Mammalia gene family associated with 10,000 protein isoform combinations.
However, because these computations are made at the desktop processor level, the addition of a third address can slow communications because the processor must also decide where the data is being sent, explains Eugene Lee, vice president of marketing for Cisco's Small/Medium business unit.
