I would often say yes to this for longevity purposes, but there are certainly many cases where i3 and inferior performance CPUs shine!! I see many 2012-2015 i3 thinkpads (and the sort) with SATA SSDs that are still kicking. No one will be satisfied with every CPU if it doesn't meet their expectations, but it doesn't mean that every CPU is bad! N series and 4 GB of RAM is enough on a light OS, such as small home servers or Chromebooks I have been intrigued lately in ultra-low-power processing.

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.

"Competes with Ryzen 5", this isn't correct. The Ryzen 5 always competes with the equivalent generation/year i5 processor. Ryzen 3 processors were created to compete directly with i3. Also, Ryzens are similar in that a newer gen i3 can sometimes be faster than yesteryear Ryzen 5 or 7's, but never the equivalent generation.
@TrinispaceTT Жыл бұрын
@@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.

@@SoulOfTech On the passmark site you can see the P versus E cores per CPU. A P-core has 2 threads, an E core only 1. A P-core is higher clocked. Intel numbering system has been troublesome since the start. 8086, 8088, 80286, 80186, 80386, 486, Pentium, etc etc. I have the impression that all i5's start equally. But after the wire bonding the chip is tested and if one P-core has a fault in the thread switcher, it becomes an E-core. The first number after 'i5' is the generation, unless that number is a '1'; then the first 2 digits are the generation. A 3230 is 3rd generation. An 1115 is 11th generation. People should be aware of this trick.

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.

@Bee-f1r ok I will stop pointing out the fact we are NOT talking exclusively about laptops because it's clear both by the stock footage used, by what he says and by the specifications mentioned that he's talking about both. I never mentioned desktop specifically, instead I was pretty explicit by talking about "low power"; so you either did not understand the video, didn't read my comment correctly or both. But we're already here so might as well complete the answer with an example. The 13th gen i7 1350U has 10 cores. The 12th gen i5 1240P has 12 cores. This should already be sufficient, but it's not enough: the i7 is 2 P cores and 8 E cores, while the i5 is 4 P cores and 8 E cores. 1240P has a power target of 28 W with boost up to 64 W, while the power target of the i7 is 15 W with a boost of 55 W. The performance difference of the architectures is minimal, so you can basically compare them clock for clock and watt for watt. A laptop 12th gen i5 1240P is faster by about 13% than a laptop 13th gen i7 1350U. And I could make bigger examples and use something like a 10th gen 10500H is 10% faster than the infamous 1350U.

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.

I have owned laptop with a Celaron, two laptops with i5, an i7, and my latest being an i9 workstation. In my experience the Intel Celaron and Intel i5 seemed to have a lot of latency, or were underpowered when running most applications at the same time as the Internet browser. When I purchased my first i7, many of these problems seemed to resolve even while 3D gaming. Unbelievable excellent and informative video! A review of gaming and design GPUs would be excellent!

Agreed. I use to own a Core i3-3120m device some years ago. It was alright for normal usage. But my current device comes with a Core i3-1215U, this is a much powerful and faster processor than the i3-3120m. Even the integrated uhd graphics 64eu gpu in i3-1215u is much faster than i3-3120m's hd graphics 4000 and allow me to play games like american and euro truck simulators better.

This one could be for anyone. I am looking into purchasing a new NAS. The one I am looking to purchase has a 12th Gen P. Gold and I am wondering if that will fit my need for a NAS. I stream from my NAS and I am a wedding photographer and do most if not all my editing from the NAS. I have a 2.5 GB network, which the NAS will support and has 32GB of RAM and I am not sure on the drives yet. My old NAS QNAP had a Celeron and I found it to lag a bit when handling RAW photos.

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.

Hello SoulOfTech family, I'm new to this channel. Currently speaking I'm about to buy a HP EliteBook x360 1030 G2 i7. Few specifications: It has an Intel core i7 - 7600U up to 3.40 GHz, with an Intel HD Graphics 620. RAM 16GB, Memory 1TB . I want to know, if this kind of laptop can handle the programs like AutoCAD, Ubuntu program etc for an architecture student for the next three years. Please what does it mean when a retail stores tags laptop, "Condition" to be "Demo Unit" ? A response will be highly appreciated, Thanks.
@SoulOfTech Жыл бұрын
Hi Emmanuel, I would avoid getting a 7600u at this point in time. That is a 6+ year old chip at this point in time. You ideally want a chip that is 10th generation or higher (1XXX, 11XX or 12XX model number). Demo and condition units are essentially used units that were either display models in store or were returned by a previous user.

It's simple. I bought an Intel Celeron HP. It gets slower with time and very frustrating to a point where the laptop freezes . I then bought an Intel Core i3 Lenovo g580 with Nvidia Geoforce. It's pretty fast, speed is consistent with time, doesn't drop even if the hard drive is 90% full. It's also good for gaming and virtualization apps. Someone, a PC expert told me Pentium is faster than Celeron, but Core i3 is better than Pentium. Celeron laptops are the cheapest because of the tortoise processor.

As per current market (prices available to me ) 12400f , 13600k, 14700f , 13900k, are the one's that makes sense in the Market the most cost effective ones. i9 have stability problems in recent times and failure rate too High Multi-core of R9 7900X is better in many scenarios even less cores . 7600x , 7700x , 7800x3d and 7900x or 7900x3d makes There's currently many case of 14900k melting aways itself or the motherboard no over clocking 360mm AIO yet struggling to maintainin temps failed to UST utilise the hige no of cores it have. Xeon and thresdripper seens better option for powrr users just pay more than getting issue.
