First level cache (L1)

Cache memory is used by the processor to reduce access time to more frequently accessed data and instructions. L1 (level 1) cache is small and much faster than system memory, and other cache levels. If the processor does not find the requested data in L1, it continues to look for them in the L2 cache. With some processors, this search is performed simultaneously in L1 and L2.

32 kB + 32 kB (kilobytes)
Second level cache (L2)

L2 (level 2) cache is slower than L1, but instead has a larger capacity to allow caching more data. It, like L1, is much faster than system memory (RAM). If the processor does not find the requested data in L2, it continues to look for it in the L3 cache (if available) or RAM.

Fixed

The Prestigio company presented a model of a touch gadget, which, despite its budget, boasts very good features and characteristics. This device, combining a low price and good performance, will interest many users who do not have large funds. The model under consideration - MultiPad PMP3084B - is a very unusual gadget, first of all, in its appearance and design. For those users who are interested in the question of how to use Prestigio tablet, this article is intended to reveal many features in terms of using the gadget and its shortcomings.

General view of the device

Brief information about the configuration

As for a budget inexpensive device, the box has a very decent appearance. The kit also comes with a case, which will save you from additional costs.

List of equipment items:

  • The device itself
  • USB sync cable
  • Charger
  • Case
  • Paper documentation.

Case, charger and device itself

The cover is surprisingly high-quality, it is possible that this is just a well-made leather substitute, but it looks stylish anyway. Of course, based on the cost of the device, we can safely conclude that this is hardly real leather.

Cover included

Use of the gadget and its characteristics

Using a tablet is not difficult for any user, whether it is an elderly pensioner or a primary school student. This device has average characteristics, it does not have high performance, and the operating system clearly needs to be updated.

OS update

I would like to start from a pleasant moment. The fact is that already with the first launch we are offered automatic order update. This means that the manufacturer remembers his own device, trying to improve it from time to time by updating the system, and this is good. When updating, the user cannot experience any complications - just give your consent to the process (OK), and the download of updates will start automatically.

System update

The only important note is that do not turn off the Internet, as the update operating system produced online.

Reading e-books

You can read various books on this device. electronic formats in a user-friendly way. You can easily find such books, to read, download the files you need to your tablet, and then open them using programs designed specifically for this purpose - just press your finger on the book file, and the tablet itself will offer you a choice of several programs installed on this moment. Try each of them and choose the one that suits you best.

Read books directly on your tablet

Connectors, slots and controls

The device is equipped with a considerable number of connectors, among which there are everything necessary for the average user:

  • Micro USB
  • 3.5 mm headphone
  • Slot for SD.

The absence of hardware volume buttons was very disappointing, because if you intend to watch videos and listen to music, then you will have to face difficulties. Keep this in mind when choosing a device!

Available buttons and connectors

Device filling and brief characteristics

The gadget is equipped with a not very powerful CPU with only one core. It will be enough for watching videos and photos, but if you are a gamer, you should definitely look for something newer! As for HD-video, it is hardly acceptable to watch it on such a device, because the small and not very high-quality display is not particularly conducive to this.

Screen Options

Here we see a display with a rather non-standard diagonal - 8.4″. Some call this diagonal the "golden mean", but as for the quality of the screen, it clearly does not reach the average level. This gadget can only be taken for reading books or viewing photos, but as for games or high-quality video, the device may not cope properly with these goals.

Please note that the resistive screen used here is outdated today, because more modern tablets use a capacitive type, and it responds much better to touch.

Operating system

As for Android, it should be noted here that the OS version is not updated, rather outdated, you will need to update it yourself, as mentioned earlier, and then your tablet will receive new features. On the desktop, we see the time and weather widget, all this can be configured as needed, as you need. All here we will notice a lot of application icons, as for top panel, there are the following buttons:

  • Home
  • Back
  • Menu.

Yandex search bar and icons

Very pleased with the presence Android Market, because thanks to this program you can search and download any application you like. Using the program is simple. The search is carried out at an intuitive level, no difficulties in use should arise. Specify the name or part of it in the search bar necessary program, then download it by clicking on the appropriate "Install" button.

Installing the program from the Internet store

We will see here also such very useful programs, as:

  • Interpreter
  • Cards
  • Solitaire game
  • Chess and other games.

Mail, Internet and Documents

Mail can be viewed either through a browser or using special program designed just for this purpose - mail client « Email". Here you can view mail, send, and even add an attachment to the sent letter.

As for the web browser, it doesn't live up to expectations. It would be better to find another, since there are certain problems when loading the page, many sites simply do not fit on the screen, and you need to change the scale from time to time.

Wi-Fi is present in the model, the speed of opening pages is at a decent level. Pleased with the presence of Flash support. No disconnects were observed, stability established connection- at a high level.

Here it is possible to watch videos from YouTube, for these purposes there is a separate application. There are also cards Google Maps, so you can easily find any street or place you need.

Icons from Yandex

Yandex applications are also present here, these are Mail, Maps, Market, the introduction of a competitor into the Google product is very surprising. Yandex fans will certainly be delighted!

Device settings

If you upgrade to a later version of the OS, you will have a newer menu at your disposal, with advanced settings, you should not have any difficulties learning the settings. So, for example, to change the brightness in Android OS, you must first select "Display", then "Brightness". Drag the slider where you want and confirm (OK).

Display settings

Disadvantages and shortcomings

This device is not without significant drawbacks:

Please note that the old type screen (resistive) used here may not respond correctly to finger touches, detecting a touch in the wrong place. It's better to use a stylus. Also a disadvantage is outdated version OS. Besides: physical buttons with arrows (up and down). It would be better if they worked when scrolling through pages in books, otherwise their purpose is generally unclear.

Calibration

Obtaining ROOT rights

  • Turn on: "Debugging via USB" and "Install third-party programs"
  • After that, download a program called MOBOROBO, http://vk.cc/2Fbj27, and install it
  • Run the program, then synchronize the PC and the touch gadget, put everything required drivers, then you can safely close the program
  • Now we need a program called Unlock Root, http://vk.cc/2Fbjd4 , download it and run
  • On the left, select "ROOT", and your device should be detected by the program, confirm the model of your gadget by selecting the appropriate item
