Great to hear!

The reason for the complexity, is there are quite a few important metrics, that aren’t always easy to fit into specific needs without offering a large variety of options to cover the various needs. Cores, clock speed, cache, power needs, hyperthreading, and etc, are all the most metrics that you don’t always need every metric to be high. Some people need more cores but slower cores are more than sufficient. Or maybe vice versa. Someone only has a workload that can use a single core, so they would benefit from the speed of that core instead of extra cores. Because of this, their model# looks like a weird combo of digits and #s but if you learn how to decode it, it starts to make a lot of sense. I honestly don’t think there is any best way to do this, I think it’s ok.

This is why I always consult a CPU hierarchy chart and CPU performance/price ratio chart before buying. I pick a budget, representing the quality I'm looking for, and the follow down from the top to find the first CPU that meets that budget on the performance/price ratio chart. Then I use the hierarchy chart to compare CPUs. Same thing for GPUs.

The up to date i3s in 12th and 13th gen are just as powerful as some (if not few) yesteryear i5s and i7s and competes with some Ryzen 5 CPUs.

@@ChildrenOfDesire I was referring to the older gen Ryzen 5s that uses up to Zen 2 architect that the latest i3s could compete. Although i agree with you said, you still need to take into consideration the architect of the chips. Just remember, Intel and AMD are changing architect of their chips every year. So any new architect of latest chips can trounce chips with older architect, whether of the same brand and/or regardless a competing brand. Sites like notebookcheck and nanoreview confirms that, if you put competing chips to compare with their benchmark scores. Hence the reason why i said the i3s of the later gens are as fast as i5/i7s and maybe Ryzen 5s, but of older gens. There's even the comparison between the i3-1215U and Ryzen 5 5500U when both these chips perform almost similar in terms of IPC speed.

I own 2 i5 and 1 i7 based laptops. For my uses the i5 is more than adequate and doesn’t have cooling fan noise. My i7 fan runs 50% of the time and is quite annoying. Something to consider.

Never get anything below i5 CPUs. Quality > random consumption. Also, check if it is a "U" series. That series is focused on battery life efficiency. "H" series is all about max performance. HX for performance on steroids.

I know I'm late here, but I did similar work with my 2011 Probook 4430s laptop. It came from the factory with Win7, an i5, and 8 gb of ram and I abused that thing gaming for years. What ended up slowing her down was the Hard Disc getting old. That may very well be the case for you too, especially if it is the original. I went through mine a few months ago and upgraded to an i7, 16 gb of ram, new bluetooth/wifi card, and a brand new SSD to replace the old HDD. All of it totalled up to about 100$. That sucker boots up in seconds now and runs like it just came off the assembly line in 2011. Still doesn't change the fact she won't make it to Win11, but I can get a few more years out of her pretty easily now for super cheap. That's the beauty of obsolete parts.

I agree with your idea of not really taking i9 into consideration unless you are required to have it. I have seen PC builds with i9 which gets bottle-necked and its base budget increases to accommodate this beast of a chip. I did say go with i5. And if you want a bit more edge and want a longer future proofing go for the i7.

I remember in 2014 when I went from a 2006 pentium d system to a brand new at the time core i3 system. It was definitely a big jump. Was faster. Ran much cooler and quieter. Etc. it did everything I needed at the time and until 2019 when I upgraded. I have no doubt I could still use it today without issue

Nice Video. Very informative. I was aware that Celeron is the low end, but I was not sure Pentium was still available nor how it compares. The only thing I was sure of is that for business use, computers should at least have an i3 CPU

You should add the generation tho. Also not all cores are the same, i.e. low power i7s will have plenty of E-cores, but not P-cores and will be way less powerful than even a last gen i5 with 2 or 4 P cores. The proposition there is that it's hella power efficient, it's incredibly powerful for the energy used HOWEVER if you are after just performance you don't care about it. That's what's most difficult nowadays. The neat little marketing boxes end up just being confusing.

@SoulOfTech thankyou for your time. It is much appreciated. 🤗

What game is in the min 6:26?

Which latest configuration is best for 3D work, video editing job? If I purchase i9 13900 Can anyone give details for the matching hardware stuff for that processor.

wait for 15th gen intel, they are changing the socket so you will not be able to upgrade your pc afterwards. You can buy a quadro but a 4070, 4080, 4090 or 30 gen cards will be fine. Just make sure they have 24 or atleast 12 gigs of VRAM.

or go with amd

Is this a Good laptop to buy? Lenovo 82XF002SUS for 679$? Processor clock speed is 1.7 Ghz? Is that enough for normal usage? Please suggest

This works as long as you are only considering currently produced stuff. However, some of the best deals these days are in refurbished computers that are from 3 to 10 years old. Comparing today's i3 or even Celeron to an i7 from 7 years ago might be a little more complicated. I'd argue for getting more RAM over a faster or newer processor. Having only 4GBytes of RAM cripple more machines than a slow processor ever did.

Yup, this is why I recently made a video highlighting the difference between CPU generations, see pinned comment or video description.

thnx, simple and clear !

Glad you think so!

my old laptop has a celeron (sandy bridge) and i use for slightly intense things such as virtual machines (not emulation) and its still going strong after 12 years (although it breaks a sweat quite alot)

Which one is good for heavy vm usage?

Bro my i3 6006u ram-8gb and ssd model no- hp 15-bs542tu can run games like gta V on normal settings fps is 35~44

I want to buy one of these. Can someone suggest me which one should I buy for desktop pc rendering farm for blender

And to pile on the confusion, I browse some refurbished PC's with i7-4790 processors (which sounds great)...BUT, they are "4th-Gen" which apparently makes them "dinosaurs" I am told. Sooo a later gen i5, could be better than an earlier gen i7??

That is true. An i7 is only “better” (for lack of a more fitting word) than an i5 of the same generation. In some cases, an i5 of a newer gen can benchmark better than an i7 of the previous gen. A 13th gen i5 will be a much better choice compared to a 4th gen i7, just as you would expect for a chip that came out this 2023 vs something that was released 9 years ago.

Where's the Xeon processor series?

i’ve had a laptop with an intel atom and also a computer with a celeron, both are pretty slow, but the intel atom feels much smoother than the celeron but slower than an i3

Which is better i3 12 gen or i5 11gen???

I half though this guy was one of my classmates! Craaaazy how much he resembles my friend 😅 Awesome rundown vid

Funny enough I get that a lot lol! Thanks for watching glad you liked the video.

Thanks a lot for sharing this! Although, I wonder where does Intel Atom fit in the list?

@SoulOfTech

Good question! The atom would rank just below the celeron. Its a very basic processor you will usually find in windows tablets and s mode laptops.

Any chance you got your info from a Chart that breaks this down and makes it easy to explain to customers? 😅

Hi sorry I do not have a chart for reference that I can provide.

hey , i have a i5 10400f , which processor should i choose on 10th or 11th gen to improve my specs . Great video tho !

@vylrent

Ай бұрын

10400f is still viable, but 14th gen is latest and the best. They are very good for their price if you can upgrade your motherboard, more efficient and performance leaps. I5 14600 or i3 14100(>10400F) If you are on the same socket and cannot upgrade your motherboard, then 11600 is okay.

@@vylrent thank you bro appreciate it

well, now i know that for my next pc i need the i7 as long as i am still with my 144hz full HD monitor, unless somehow i get a budget for an insane one

I bought the i7 even though I don’t really need it. It was at a great price so I thought why not. Haven’t had time to try it out yet. Thanks for the info.

Hey great question, I have a video explaining generations, link in the description section :)

Seriously underrated content .but what are the generations on each Intel core(like i7 12th gen or i5 11 gen(

@SoulOfTech

Жыл бұрын

The generation is just a marker of which year the chip was released in. Gen 11 for example was released in 2021, gen 12 in 2022 and gen 13 in 2023. Natraully each generation is more powerful than the last but the diffrence is not always a grand one.

I'd consider an i5 the sweetspot for multitasking especially gaming

What would be best for trading stocks? Im looking for a pc for that specific use and purpose

@SoulOfTech

i5/Core5 is great if you have the budget but if you're trying to minimize cost you can settle for a curreent gen i3 as well.

i9 10850K. I built the system in Feb of 2021 for race and flight simulators. It's performed beautifully.

Interesting that you're showing the prices of complete laptops, but referring to them as if they're the prices of just the processors involved.

I got the first gen I7 as soon as Best Buy had it in an ASUS 17 inch laptop works great for years
