Core I5 6198DU doubts :)

[pipe08]

Hi, as the thread title suggest i got a couple of doubts with my processor.

1. i have read that it’s possible to increase the TPU frecuency of the processor, https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us...-2-80-ghz.html there it says up to 2.4 GHz, also, Intel Core i5-6198DU CPU - Benchmarks and Specs - NotebookCheck.net Tech in there it says that i can increase that up to 2.7 GHz with 2 cores, the question is:

• is that dangerous for my laptop in term of inestabilities, i know the useful life would be affected, which i don’t care if it stays as stable as it’s right now.
• If that’s not dangerous, how can i do it ?

1. I’m a Mechanical Engineer, and I do lot’s of simulations, the program suggest that i deactivate the hyperthreading https://www.sharcnet.ca/Software/Ans...threading.html . As far as i know Core I5 doesn’t have it, but in the specs of the processor, you can see 2 cores, 4 threats, which means it have some kind of hyperthreading. Questions:

• Is it hyperthreading?
• How can i deactivate the hyperthreading?
  -Which are the repercutions of deactivate the hyperthreading in the whole system, windows, internet navigation, etc?
  -Is it possible to increase the velocity of my processor up to 2.7 GHZ if i don’t have the “hyperthreading” on, as notebookcheck.net suggest ?

Thank you very much for your time, and help.

Hello

Well over clocking always produces more heat. Which is not all that good for a laptop..

The I5 6198DU does have have HT, it is not appropriate for OCing nor would it be beneficial to start tinkering with disabling the HT.

Two core/four thread CPUs are ok for school or basic office type work but for anything more demanding a quad core or above CPU will be required, any dedicated program will have "minimum and “recommended” specification info available.

Hi, thank you for asking, i believe everything is clear.
