Hey there! If you find this content to be helpful please consider subbing to channel it helps me grow and provide bread on the table. Thank you for your viewership :)

[@TazKidNoah]

I dont know what it is but your MasterChef of explaining compared to other channels EXCEPT PirateSoftware. I learn more for your vids & his channel than most others. Thank You, I was wonder in far future maybe explain more what Piratesoftware said about 13th Gen to current gens in 2024. What solutions you came cross as we wait for Intel fixing this issue? Also I made comment of your vid you mentioned earlier in the vid. I was wonder if you can breakdown what those differences are so normies like me know not to buy wrong clip that may not help us maximize best use of the product. Obviously take your time, i like you to prefect best you want to share us about information on these Tech related questions. I am always Quality over Quanity vids. again: Thank you for your Cannel content on youtube.

[@scotthill4742]

Thanks for clearing all that mumbo jumbo up. I was definitely confused. Subbed

[@Vik-005]

I have i7610M so how would you dissect it? Like i7 is 7th processor, 6th gen, what about 610 and M?

[@danieltang5466]

Keep up the good work and have a happy new year

what's the different between intel core and intel evo? It's actually really hard to find any information online differentiating the 2 so I was wondering if anyone here would be able to clarify which of the 2 is better.

[@SoulOfTech]

Hey there, great question! I may make a video on this sometime in the future but ill explain here for now. Intel Evo is just a certification on certain intel processor based laptops that meet criteria such as the ones below: - Last more than 9.5 hours on a single charge - Offer FHD or higher displays with certain display specs - Offer a backlit keyboard - Have WiFi 6E (or higher) - Have at least one TB4 port - High quality speakers - Use a FHD or higher resolution webcam - Have some form of built in bio metric scanning for logging in (ie: fingerprint reader) ^ These are some of the requirements for a machine to be certified as intel evo. As you can see none of these have anything to do with the processor it self but rather to do with things around it. In short Evo is just a standard that gets labeled with any laptop that meets it (generally the more expensive ones). Evo based machines are still using the same processors are non evo machines. Hope that helps!

Great video!.... Can you also explain the model numbers of Ryzen processors? Like the meaning of the numbers AMD Ryzen 7-7730U..... Thanks.

[@matzeb.2552]

Great video , it helped a lot Thank you❤

[@SoulOfTech]

Glad it helped!

[@johnmecca9008]

Great video. Can you explain the letter at the end of the processor. For instance, what’s the difference between an i9 13900h and an i9 13900hx. What’s the h and hx please?

[@SoulOfTech]

For sure I can! In the mean time to answer your question. While both H and HX series are part of intel's high performance line up, HX chips run at even higher wattage (comparable to desktop class CPU's), this gives them an edge in overall performance however also makes them much hotter than H series chips meaning you will often find them in bulkier laptops. U Series = Low Performance, High Efficiency P Series = Balanced H Series = High Performance, Lower Efficiency HX Series = Maximum Performance, Low Efficiency

I have i7610M so how would you dissect it? Like i7 is 7th processor, 6th gen, what about 610 and M?

[@NeonblueIndustries]

So, an Intel Core i7-2720QM - Means it's a 2 Gen? What Gen is Sandy Bridge?

[@lorrinamitchell8580]

I am looking to purchase a new computer shortly. Currently running a ten year old HP AIO with a CORE i3. Your videos on Intel CPUs are very helpful. Considering a Tiny Desktop, Lenovo or HP. Looking for a durable configuration with potentially a long lifespan. Maybe a video on these small desktops would be of interest to some?

[@goddessjones6559]

Go with the Lenovo or an Asus or Acer, I would advise to steer clear of HP

[@Hwkman4]

​@@goddessjones6559oof. I just bought an hp laptop with a 13th gen i7 off amazon. Are you specifically talking about tiny pcs or hp computers altogether

[@tearsofbreaks]

This gold. Been looking for this

[@Gabe-y8h]

so if i just use my comp to check my e-mail, go on social media and watch movies streamed online then i don't need anything fancy like an i9. is an i7 still to fancy? or is it just right? by the time u read this who knows they might come out with a i10.

[@electricminecrafter]

the equilivent of ' i 1' is a celeron or pentium

[@abhisheks1590]

Really helpful👍

[@SoulOfTech]

Glad to hear that

[@akin242002]

I like the new Intel 14th gen CPUs. It has a huge focus on battery life preservation. This benefits Windows laptops for non-stem business or casual use. Unfortunately, competitive desktop gamers want power performance jumps instead of battery life improvement.

[@SoulOfTech]

For sure the new Core series is taking a more Apple kind of approach, which definitely has big gains on power efficiency.

[@dragon1979x]

Thank you very much, that's a great explanation it was exactly what i was looking for., and the 3% info, gonna make me think twice before buying 14 unles it's a difference of 3 to 5% in price too maybe a little bit more but no more than 10%.

[@SoulOfTech]

Glad it was helpful!

Here's an extreme example: What's better, an i3-12100 or non-overclocked i7-8700K? Yup, the i3-12100 has a 3.6% better multi-core score and massive 21% better single thread rating. It's not meaningful to describe an Intel processor by its class (i3, i5, i7, i9) compared to its model number, so it's incredibly frustrating to see people advertise Intel processors by the former while omitting the latter on used marketplaces.

[@lordespion8789]

Normal people dont understand even though they can learn the information for free on the internet, they don't.

[@NewBeginnings224]

Dang I love the site you used. I have a super old pc that isn't much of a gaming pc, and I checked my graphics card against the current top place (Nvidia RTX 4090 VS my Intel HD Graphics 630) and it says it's 7,480% better, and my CPU vs the current top place (Core i9-14900KS VS my Core i5-7400) is 133% better. That was fun :,)

[@mr_cramberry]

does every gen mean at least 1-2% improvement in performance than previsous gen of similar model? so 14th gen is 14% more beter than a 4th gen?

[@lordespion8789]

theres a large gap between 4th and 14th gen, so there must be minimum 14% better performance but I wouldn't be surprised if it 1000% more

[@lucien-rowan3685]

Well explained. Here's another extreme: My Intel Core i5-6500 is outperformed by the Intel Core i7-4770K, but both of them are outperformed by the Intel Core i3-12100F.

[@SoulOfTech]

Yup thats a good example!

[@avengerxanmol8972]

Make video on amd ryzen all series and about all generation pls

[@SoulOfTech]

Please see video description, thanks.

[@xtrociss515]

So basically, an I5 10th gen is better than a 4th one. (I didn't know if the progress was backward cause sometimes the lower numbers are the better ones )

[@SoulOfTech]

That’s correct!

[@-Static]

How viable would an i7 4790s today?

[@Rvfnyourmum]

Still running an i7-4790K. It’s old, but doesn’t struggle to run anything. It’d probably bottleneck a newer RTX series card. But with a 1080 it’s going strong for me

[@shanks9362]

[@Ultrasznn]

Thanks man

[@SoulOfTech]

You're welcome!

[@LostOnTheLine]

I mean... You got a lot of stuff just wrong. You cherry picked examples where the newer version is better than an older higher-end version, but that's not even half the story. Depending on the testing you sometimes get 4th Gens that out perform 9th Gens in benchmarks. That's not the only thing that matters. Most benchmarks run on the same instruction Sets that have been around forever. The biggest difference in Generations is the things they support. For example 7th Gen introduced H.265 encoding. So for a media server a 7th gen i3 will likely outperform a 6th Gen i7 if you are encoding or decoding H.265. Conversely a 7th & 8th Gen will pretty much perform the same for a media server without any noticeable differences. Then you have the Instruction Sets. That's like a new thing that it can do. Like the 12th Gen introducing P-Cores & E-Cores, stuff like that makes much more difference. In a lot of ways the 11th Gen will out perform the 12th Gen, especially using the tests you used.

[@lordespion8789]

Bro, what the advantage of e core above p cores except the efficiency which nobody cares in pc?

Hi maybe you could explain how the number of cores / threads vary with generation and processor class. Thank you for the great videos

[@SpicySteve01]

bro dont use userbenchmark 💀💀💀

[@AM-zh3yd]

The point here is to explain generations not explain benchmarks

[@goddessjones6559]

Bro, go make your own video, we here are happy with this one.

[@agoogleuser2507]

Why? Explain. I'm not just going to believe a random comment for no reason.

[@alpha777omega]

​@agoogleuser2507 Userbenchmark is heavily biased towards Intel and their scoring algorithm makes it look like Intel is almost always better than AMD options. Try comparing Intel Core i9-13900K with AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, it will show that the i9 is better when in reality the Ryzen 9 is superior both in terms of performance and especially in terms of efficiency (they run cooler and faster). The site also biases Nvidia gpus over AMD ones in misleading ways.

[@CAPepin]

@@alpha777omegabut if you only want to compare same brand processors what’s the problem then?

[@FZMStudio]

Only true legends are still running an i5 6600K

[@jacobrametse1705]

What would hurt if at all you are comparing processors, to rather compare a 12th gen i9 to a 13th gen i9, instead of this common thing of guys comparing a 12th gen i9 to a 14th gen i3 then claim to be having differences..? Stupid IMHO...🙄
