Pt 1, the beginning of:

What is the maximum amount of RAM that this processor can address?

128 GB

Increase the number of threads one by one. List the percentage of utilization at each as well as the speed in hashes per second.

Make sure Power is set to 100% at the start:

1 thread, 14% cpu, speed 145H/s 2 threads, 26% cpu, speed 270H/s 3 threads, 37% cpu, speed 360H/s 4 threads, 49% cpu, speed 413H/s 5 threads, 61% cpu, speed 436H/s 6 threads, 72% cpu, speed 434H/s 7 threads, 83% cpu, speed 426H/s 8 threads, 95% cpu, speed 418H/s 9 threads, 100% cpu, speed 415H/s

Stop at 100% CPU utilization.

How many threads did it take before you reached 100% CPU Utilization?

9 threads

Increase the number of threads past 100% utilization. Does the speed increase? Speculate about why this might be. No, the speed does not go up, I assume because it can not process past the height thread.

CPU STRESS PT 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO FT YOUTUBE:

With the three windows open, the YouTube video, the CPU utilization in the Task Manager, and the CPU Test window, one by one, increase the number of threads and record the performance again:

1 thread, 15% cpu, speed 144H/s 2 threads, 26% cpu, speed 266H/s 3 threads, 37% cpu, speed 356H/s 4 threads, 50% cpu, speed 412H/s 5 threads, 61% cpu, speed 422H/s 6 threads, 74% cpu, speed 429H/s 7 threads, 85% cpu, speed 418H/s 8 threads, 95% cpu, speed 413H/s 9 threads, 100% cpu, speed 411H/s

Stop at 100% CPU utilization.

Did the YouTube video impact the CPU utilization? By how much?

Not really.

Part 3 The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies:

The wii u:

1.243125GHz clock speed 3 PowerPC 750 type cores, GPU core at 549.999755MHz RAM at up to 6.4GB/s

The Wii U is one of the worst consoles, and it shows, so they differ not only on sheer ability, but also durability.
