Talk:Java Edition hardware performance/Archive 4

The distribution of Linux is irrelevant. Only the architecture and kernel version is truly necessary, and possibly other things such as non-default CPU schedulers(such as the Brain Fuck Scheduler), SMP, and preemption.

Just added three Operating Systems running on the same laptop, might be good data. Wolfos

Do you guys realise that update with optimization (such as 1.5) = whole table invalidated? --TheBix 13:36, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Laptop/Desktop Category
It has come to my attention that when browsing this page, there is no column that denotes whether or not the information came from a laptop or desktop system. The processing power of laptops will always be lower than that of desktops, even when they have the same series of processor. For example, most mobile Core i5/i7 processors are dual core w/hyperthreading, resulting in 2 real and 2 virtual cores. Conversely, most Core i5/i7 processors in desktop systems are in fact true quad-core CPUs. The same principle also goes for video cards and their power. I think that for clarity, there should be a column in which it is stated whether or not the system is a laptop or a desktop. I would add the column myself, but I didn't want to drastically modify the page without the opinions of others. If this is deemed a good idea, please implement it.

 * We can find out if java 7 is really better for running Minecraft then java 6 like some players reported.
 * Players might notice then that they use an outdated java version and upgrade it. Some very old Java-Versions are really slow!
