computer speed

[earl1812]

When buying a new computer with an Intel processor can I always assume that the i5 is faster than the i3, the i7 faster than the i5, etc.? How are we suppose to know how to pick from different computer company options? Thank you for reading this.

According to our information, different generations have different specifications, and that will depend on what you are looking for.

All processors will have different speeds so which one to choose will depend on what you are looking for.

This is amazing. I had written off the previous post because it looked too complicated. I just wanted to know was i5 faster than i3, etc. After seeing that you sent a follow up then I dug into the link sent earlier. It is excellent. I now see how it works. The computer you want to buy will/should have all the detail needed to look it up on the chart under the i7 etc. and get the true speed. This is very good. Thank you for the reminder and this indeed helps.
