The Lenovo Ideapad Y510p Thread

[rider]

So Y510 has GT 750 or GT 755 GPU?

 

[bad_till_bones]

Would be getting my beast tomorrow!

I am also planning to get a Cooler Master Notepal U3 cooling pad. Or any other recommendations for the cooling pad?

Can someone reply to this please!

So Y510 has GT 750 or GT 755 GPU?

It has a 755 GPU

It has a 755 GPU

But on flipkart it shows 750M Lenovo Ideapad Y510 (59-390016) Laptop (4th Gen Ci7/ 8GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) - Lenovo: Flipkart.com

Even on the Lenovo site it is 750

But in actual, it's 755

Lol wtf! What is the best price of this in Delhi?

Around 72k

Guys check this laptop comes with HD 8850M 2GB DDR5 that is as good as GTX 660M. Price is mind blowing just 49k with Dell warranty.

Hmm that graphics card Radeon 8850m at <50k is the best ( its in fact comparable to GT750m) but the trade off is the processor at 1.8 Ghz and screen with 1366x768 resolution. Somehow wasnt able to find any detailed benchmark of 8850 or its FPS data.

A new version is available in newegg site:

Newegg.com - Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p (59376431) Intel Core i7 4700MQ(2.40GHz) 12GB Memory 1TB HDD 8GB SSD 15.6" Notebook Windows 8

Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p for $1175 which will translate to 75k and including other taxes will finally translate to 82k.

Can Someone please confirm whether or not Turbo boost works simultaneously for all cores?
To test this, one can simply turn on high performance mode. Open HWINFO64 and monitor the core frequencies .then put some load on the laptop and check if it is maintaining the turbo clock of 3.2ghz ?

someone kindly carry out this test and post some screenshots?

Hi all!!!
i finally purchased my y510 from hyderabad for 72k.The laptop came wid a glossy screen rather than having a matte finish.....
Dont understand if lenovo is selling different variants wid the same part number: 59390016

Anyways the laptop is a perfect gaming beast for the price

Thank u all for ur clarifications and suggestions....else i would hav ended up buying Samsung NP550P5C-S05IN

Guys anyone of you who registered for tge gift vouchers and adp receive it yet on their email?

I provided all the registration information almost a week back and nothing has happened so far even after repeated reminders.

 

[Maverick03]

Hey from where did you buy yours in hyderabad? I am also going to buy tomorrow but can you confirm whether you got synaptics or elan touchpad? And what all you got in the deal?

 

[Maverick03]

Congrats man! Can you please tell me where did you buy it in hyderabad? Also which touchpad is it?elan or synaptics?

they are supposed to get back to us in 7 working days from the date of registration. what's up with them, why the unnecessary delay?.

 

[$hadow]

Contacted them today and they said it would take about 30 days for getting vouchers.

Hi akash from what i have read on few reviews of Y510p it supports turbo boost for 1 core and clocks down to 2.4 ghz when more than one cores are involved. Also this is similar to how turbo boost technology of intel works , never are 4 cores simultaneously in turbo state, for some processors the max turbo state is for one core, mid state for 2 and base state for 4 like this

For Core i7-2920XM.
The normal operating frequency is 2.5 GHz. Turbo is indicated as: 7/7/9/10 in which the first number is the multiple of 100 MHz supported when four cores are active, the second number is the multiple for three cores, the third number is for two cores, and the fourth number is for one active core.

Subject to limits on temperature, current and power consumption, the processor can increase its clock speed (from a base frequency of 2.5 GHz)in steps of 100 MHz to:
# of cores active # of Turbo Steps Max frequency Calculation
3 or 4 7 3.20 GHz 2500 + (7 × 100) = 2500 + 700 = 3200
2 9 3.40 GHz 2500 + (9 × 100) = 2500 + 900 = 3400
1 10 3.50 GHz 2500 + (10 × 100) = 2500 + 1000 = 3500

yes. i know that... what i wanted to know is if turbo boost works for for all 4 cores of the processor like it should at full load in the Y510p ie: 3.2Ghz which is the specified max turbo when all four cores are working simultaneously. If yes, then it would prove the notebook check review wrong.

PS : my friend wants this info asap :/
