If you are a stock trader, futures trader, forex trader or day trader of any
kind, you will significantly benefit from Intel’s latest release of their
second generation processors; specifically the Intel
Sandy Bridge Core i7 2600. This processor is a quantum leap over the first
generation and if you are considering upgrading your
Stock Trading Computer,
this processor is a must.
If you are a user of a stock trading computer you need a machine that can
handle data coming in at never before seen rates. Your stock trading
computer will need to take all this data, make computations and calculations
in real time and display it to you in a robust graphical format. These
displays are need to make real time decisions in fractions of a second so
that data better show up in real time!
Just to give you an idea, the i7 2600 is already benchmark testing at 50%
faster than the first generation of i7, 50% faster than the second
generation Intel i5, 100% faster than the first generation Intel i5, 80%
faster than the AMD 6 core Phnom II X6, 120% faster that the fastest Core2
Quad (a $400 processor) , 400% faster than the fastest Core2 Duo
and the list goes on and on. And when it comes to mobile computers such as
laptops and netbooks, forget it. The i7 2600 is more than 200% faster than
nearly 99% of the market.
There are several reasons the i7-2600 is so fast but a big one is because of
something called Turbo Boost 2.0. This is a very efficient program built
into the processor that makes each of the 4 cores and the eight threads
handle processing power more efficiently. If the processor detects that it
is running below its power, temperature and current limits, it increases its
clock frequency to boot performance for all the active cores. For a stock
trading computer running Tradestation software that only makes use of 1 core
at a time, Turbo boost 2.0 can deliver even more power to that one core.
This is huge for traders.
These are just some of the reasons the users of a stock trading computer,
specifically day traders could substantially benefit from Intel’s latest
Sandy Bridge i7 2600 release. If you are looking to
configure a stock trading computer a lot more information is available here.
