processor differences?

idata — Sun, 21 Oct 2012 20:42:07 GMT

I am NOT Technical! I am about to buy a new computer for general home use - nothing fancy just reasonably fast. Some information I've seen says to get a Pentium dual core. Where in the hirearchy of performance does the i3 and other series fit. I would appreciate a listing by performance of the general types offered. Please keep it simple.

Thank you

The following web site will help you determining which processor family is the one better meeting up your needs. Please find this web site, here: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processor-comparison/how-to-choose-the-right-processor.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processor-comparison/how-to-choose-the-right-processor.html

The system performance is dependent on the entire system configuration, at a hardware and software level; however, the previous web site takes into consideration the usage you will be giving to the system.

Intel(R) Core(tm) i3 and i5 processors are addressed to a more business related environment while the Intel(R) Core(tm) i7 processors are more gaming, intensive video usage related.

If needing information on Intel(R) processors, you can go to: http://ark.intel.com/ http://ark.intel.com/

Any questions, please let us know.

I had already looked there and it is beyond my understanding . All I need, at this time is a hierarchy of performance of slower to faster and where PENTIUM fits in. ( and perhaps a recommendation on what to get)

thank you
