[@nup5]

partially correct analogy/coincidence! I have a quad core, 8 thread i7-3632qm, in an old Thinkpad Edge, as my backup laptop. if my main one dies I can hop on the spare. That quad core i7 mobile is still zippy enough for Windows 10. However it thermal throttles often under load. Just way too inefficient. In about 2 or 3 years I'll have to completely retire the system.

[@nup5]

@UCNBvoRYvqOVR-WwFduIgYBQ most speed effective upgrade for any computer is an SSD. Even a cheap one can outpace a standard hard drive for awhile before write/cache throttling happens. but do be careful about reliability. cheap SSDs can get bad blocks quicker due to lower overall manufacturing quality.

It's actually pretty stupid simple on Intel. If you look at a model number after the i number, the first 2 digits indicate the generation. Example, i7 12XXX or i5 13XXX. That 12 or 13 is the generation number. Edit: Forgot to mention, everything else after the generational number, is the specific model within that generation and type

[@stigrabbid589]

It is simple, the the first part is the generation number, 4xxx is 4th Gen, & 13xxx is 13th Gen for example. next is the model, like 13900 is the current high end i9, then come the suffix letters. k means overclockable, f means no integrated graphics, kf is overclockable with no integrated graphics, h is for laptops, hk is overclockable for laptops.

[@flameshana9]

2000 series = bare minimum (email, videos). 3000/4000 = good enough for basic users. 5000-7000 = don't bother, they didn't improve much but the price goes up fast. 8000-9000 = no longer cheap but slightly improved. 10,000 = finally better performance but not cheap at all. 11,000 = don't bother, almost the same as 10 series. 12,000 = very good but high price. 13,000 = great, but brand new so it's expensive. Celeron = pain and suffering.

Yes it is more important. Intel CPUs organization explained simply: Generations are a group of CPUs, which are better than the last generation overall, because the technology evolved. Then, this group of CPUs is divided in i3, i5, i7 and i9, which does not refer to the level of technology, but simply how powerful each unit of a same generation is. Also, inside each classification of i, there are differemt cpus. For example, i5-10400 and i5-10600. The number next to them means they're from the 10th generation, but they're different CPUs, the 10600 is more powerful. It often happens that an i7 is less potent than an i3 because of being many generations behind, and that makes users quite confused. There is no official line of progression in terms of performance of the CPUs.

[@Gabriel_Music]

I3 - Office. I5 - Basic Gaming and some Edit's. I7 - Good Gaming, High Quality Edit's video and all functions you will need. I9 - Ultra Gaming, Ultra Quality in Edit's, Ultra Quality Render 3D Models, and basically all the functions you had ever think. The better choise for 6+ years is the I7 and I9.

How about an explanation of cache size impact within the different series. also how does the cpu know which action on which core to do first and which to be displayed first or last? And how much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

[@flameshana9]

1. That woodchuck would chuck a lot of wood if he could. 2. Cache size is mainly beneficial to gaming. There aren't many CPUs with large cache sizes so the recommendations about which to buy for work/gaming are usually obvious. 3. CPUs can be smart at multitasking or bad at it (aka Windows 11 when it was new). They have a bunch of cores so you don't need to worry about what goes where. 4 cores will handle normal workloads. Only multitaskers/streamers/professionals need more. And yes this has been tested before you cry wolf and say 6-8 is the bare minimum.

Small tip if your gettinga cpu for gaming. Get KF cpu. The K means you can overclock it. The F means it doesnt have intergrated graphics. It makes the cpu cheaper. And thw lack of an igpu doesnt matter bcs you use a gpu anyway (comes with nice side effect that it ensures the display cable is in the right plug). I personally am rocking the i5 13600KF

[@Jdogrey1]

You can buy a Core i3 for the price of a Pentium these days, and it is way better. Pentium is basically obsolete at this point.

[@bloqk16]

The differences I've found between an i7 to i9 when it comes to performance when rendering videos with identical apps: With the i7, the CPU utilization can run up to nearly 100 percent when rendering video in the MP4 format. When using the i9 processor, the CPU utilization runs between 20 ~ 30 percent when rendering video in the MP4 format. To put it in _lay_ terms. The i7 CPU is being pushed at 100 miles per hour; while the i9 is cruising along at 20 ~ 30 mph.

[@kevinlow69420]

But which finishes quicker

[@Bears11422]

Getting a i9 if you can get a good deal is great for those who don't want to upgrade for 7 to 10 years. My main rig runs a i7 3770K and I can still play majority of current gen games at 4k near max. Let me remind you. My CPU is nearly 10 years old. Most games now heavily rely on GPU and Ram and less on the CPU. So it's something to think about when building your next rig.

Finally a clear video, that doesn't waste the viewer's time. Thank you!

[@luckybajwa7212]

i3 is enough for 99% of people

[@thedigitallens]

Finally we got a new video on the Intel CPUs.

[@aravindaravindhan3845]

Most of us might prefer u guys explain the four numbers and the character followed by the processor type, Peace

[@ManunKanava]

Finally a new version of this! I have been in the original videos comments to say that they should update it..

[@ronaldnayman4841]

Could you give more detail the functions of a core and how the amount differs in workload. Tks

[@collapsis]

can you make a video explaining all the pros and cons of oled and qled and the difference between mini oled and nano ect

[@ritwik_sahai]

Video suggestion: How to check internet quality (besides basic Speedtest). I recall you mentioning one time about this site.. I kind of lost it soon (sad).

[@Robo-xk4jm]

when i got a laptop a year or 2 ago i thought i was getting a good deal getting a 3060 (back when 30 series anything was as rare as unicorns) and an 11th gen i7 cpu but turns out despite being an i7 its still only 4 cores and the 3060, while being the higher TDP laptop version, has half the vram as desktop variant

[@ilovefunnyamv2nd]

its nice hearing intel is making the i mean something again. I remember just a year or two ago my company had new laptops, there were i3 processors that were as good as an i7 from some years earlier. thats because that earlier i7 was a dual core hyperthreaded. it was a struggle for the user deciding if they wanted to "upgrade" to the latest machines which had less ram and on board graphics.

[@Nathan-mu1pz]

Have you guys done a video on browsing the web with outdated OS's?

[@user0000user]

Got a 13900k. It's so sad to think about that in like 3 years it will be average. I remember my 8700k. It was amazing, just to get beaten by i3s now as they are become really fast. Old high end i7s got 4/8 threads, now i3s are faster.

[@muchossaugus9927]

Doubt that. At some point it just makes no sense to cram more cores in. Even now not a lot of software takes advantage of more than 8-16 cores/threads. At some point there is just no worthwhile improvement anymore.

[@mikeramos91]

@@muchossaugus9927 well today is different compared to 10 years ago. Intel was sitting on their butt with 4 core cpus with no competition. So games were targeted for 4 cores. Now intel is struggling to stay ahead. Cpus are getting more cores faster than ever. Now developers can take advantage of it.

[@thedev-yani]

Can we get a 1 on 1 comparison between intel and amd counter parts? With all the crucial details like DLSS VS Ray tracing and which one heats more.. or which GPUs are more compatible with each CPU

[@Pax.YouTube]

Oh I remember the original video. It was my first Techquickie video

[@Marcus_Berger1701]

Thank you, that helped me immensely. 🤠

[@tlhandle]

Where do find these nice blue tables with all the different versions of the CPUs? Does AMD have one too? Great video, thank you!

[@Eline_official]

Do you have some video on core parking?

[@gurttron]

That 2014 video is what got me into Linus Tech Tips.

[@kisirinyabonny8032]

a suggestion, talk about how intel cpu generation and intel graphics relate, how confusing it may be to find a superior i3 over an i7 , thanks techquikie

[@skillshot3746]

i literally was watching the 9900K review and how it was saying the i3 i5 i7 video was outdated, then came to find this new video posted 10 minutes ago

[@sir.fender6034]

I work in IT, and I consider myself to be a hardcore computer user. I game, make videos, music and work using laptops, and a Core i5 and low-end GPU has always been enough for me. Don't waste your money on high end computers because chances are you will never use the computer to its full potential.

[@tekeagle2136]

What are your specs? I had an i5-1035G1 and no dGPU, and it struggled (and bluescreened) with web design projects at college and couldn't even run games at 30fps on potato settings. It was a Lenovo Ideapad Flex 3i. At least now I don't have to worry about that with my Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 7 2022.

[@Tjocksnorriss]

One thing good with Intel is the igpu that can take load of the cpu in certain creative tasks. You are correct, hobbyists don't need the full fat cpus really, when you are a professional everything have a deadline and time is money thus you need better hardware.

[@jasmine9215]

@@sir.fender6034who knows if you’ll reply but i have a question since u seem to be experienced in this area. would u say that i5 16GB 256gb is good specs enough? i use it for work, to game, study and also code, so basically everyday use.

[@MuhlisErtugrul]

Also generation differences should be mentioned as for example an 12th gen i3 can surpass an 9th gen i7.

[@bisarothub1644]

They call it i9 instead incorporating such features on i7 because they want to get more buck out of it by making few improvements on the older gen processor. The result is, people are shifting to Mac or AMD to get most of their buck. I remember a $999 pc was a beast way back 2009 (Core 2 Quad, Nvidia 9800), whereas you cant do much with mac at that price during that time. Now, a $999 pc got sluggish performance whereas a $999 mac has a performance of a high-end PC.

[@nathnathn]

While use cases are but more niche should probably mention with intel you need I9 to get extra PCIE lanes. Mainly only needs to be considered if you have pcie cards other then the GPU installed.

[@RealGrouchy]

Thanks, this is qn excellent format. Nuts and bolts for people like me who haven't been paying attention to computer specs for the last 15 years.

[@georgiareload6599]

FOR NON-GEEKS: The more money customers spend. The faster their PC will run.

[@stevejohnson1321]

I still run an i7 2600 from year 2011. It exceeds my needs, although the TDP of 95 is a fair amount of electricity. Newer models are often more efficient.
