Hi Outish,

 

 

This is a really extended topic, let's see.

 

 

Here you can find a really good summary about each core generation processors.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core

 

If you want to compare Intel® processors' models, you can do it on the following link:

 

http://ark.intel.com/ http://ark.intel.com/

 

 

Also, you can notice that between three processors, same generation, different model i3, i5, i7, Advanced Technologies, Platform Protection Technology, Max Temperature, Memory Specifications, Cache Memory, Embedded Options Available and Performance will change.

 

 

Let me know if the information provided helps you.

 

 

Regards,

 

Hellen.

Thanks Hellen for the really fast response.

are you meaning what makes that difference is the cache, cpu socket, thread cores etc.

Hi Outish,

 

 

Yes, as you mentioned Cache, Thread Cores and technologies will change; if we talk about different generation of processors the socket will be deferent as well.
