Bro i wanted to if i have two ram both 8gb total 16gb. slot one is solded ram is rx16 and other is changeable (but its allso rx16). so if i remove other and put rx8 . of same dd5 4800mah. will it work? allso speed will incresse? is it a good idea?

Never get anything below i5 CPUs. Quality > random consumption. Also, check if it is a "U" series. That series is focused on battery life efficiency. "H" series is all about max performance. HX for performance on steroids.
I agree that i5 is the sweet spot for many people for sure! Though "H" series is often overkill and can run too hot on some machines. The "P" series chips are also a decent balance between H and U.
I would often say yes to this for longevity purposes, but there are certainly many cases where i3 and inferior performance CPUs shine!! I see many 2012-2015 i3 thinkpads (and the sort) with SATA SSDs that are still kicking. No one will be satisfied with every CPU if it doesn't meet their expectations, but it doesn't mean that every CPU is bad! N series and 4 GB of RAM is enough on a light OS, such as small home servers or Chromebooks I have been intrigued lately in ultra-low-power processing. Sort of wish the world would focus of efficiency more than power
I bought the i7-12700k, Im really happy with that CPU, I use it for college work like 3-modeling in a CAD program and running simulations. It handles games also really well and Im pretty confident that I dont have to upgrade for the next 8-10 years
@@bhaveshartsy7805 yeah totally, you have 10 cores and hyper threading on the P-cores so you have effectively 16 threads. You have a bit less cache however but I doubt that would be a problem. If you put in a bit more money, you could also get the i5-13600k, which is actually better then mine
@@alobeat7665 Yeah, I have been thinking about it too. I must have a Z series Mobo for that as per the research I did. because I am not getting a GPU now, I will save and then buy it until then it's already capable CPU. talking about i5-13600k
@@bhaveshartsy7805 yeah you could either use a Z690 or Z790 motherboard both of them have the LGA 1700 socket, but the 13th gen CPUs are better supported on the Z790 motherboards
I think the one thing you could have mentioned is breaking down what the model # means like how a 12600k , the 12 indicates generation 600 is the relative performance and the k means if it can be overclocked and if it has onboard video capabilities.
I've built my own systems for many years. I've always gone with the i7 or i9 of the series. I've also always maxed out the ram. These systems are always good for 7 to 9 years of use. If you use good quality parts, they last.
My i3 first gen runs smooth as ever. I recently bought a core 2 duo laptop which is 15 year old and installed latest fedora in it. It is really smooth and I can do whatever online and office things I want easily
@bhaveshartsy7805 sure... I purchased an HP cpu with core 2 duo with 2 gb ram in 2009 and upgraded msi nvidia gtx 550ti and corsair 500 power supply and 2 gb ram in 2011. Used softwares like Autodesk Maya, 3ds max, houdini, zbrush, realflow, nuke, unreal engine 3 blender wasn't good at that time. Played games- gta v, assassin's creed black flag, witcher 3, crysis 3 and many more.
@@kdreamscosmos4279 Do you still use that build, now the software are kind of heavy and doing something which takes a lot of CPU power will slow you down. I have a Laptop i5 4200u with 1 gb AMD graphics and 4 GB RAM, it has given me hard times when I created my artworks and also when I edited the video, also using 3d software as well. I don't give too much load on that now.
This is why I always consult a CPU hierarchy chart and CPU performance/price ratio chart before buying. I pick a budget, representing the quality I'm looking for, and the follow down from the top to find the first CPU that meets that budget on the performance/price ratio chart. Then I use the hierarchy chart to compare CPUs. Same thing for GPUs.
Wish it could just be "Intel Processor 1", "Intel Processor 2" with budget friendly versions like "Intel Processor 2-lite" and higher end ones named "Intel Processor 2-Max"
The up to date i3s in 12th and 13th gen are just as powerful as some (if not few) yesteryear i5s and i7s and competes with some Ryzen 5 CPUs. So they could handle a little more multitasking and run more games better than the standard or older gen i3s. I know this for a fact especially since my current laptop has the Core i3-1215U inside it.
"Competes with Ryzen 5", this isn't correct. The Ryzen 5 always competes with the equivalent generation/year i5 processor. Ryzen 3 processors were created to compete directly with i3. Also, Ryzens are similar in that a newer gen i3 can sometimes be faster than yesteryear Ryzen 5 or 7's, but never the equivalent generation.
@@ChildrenOfDesire I was referring to the older gen Ryzen 5s that uses up to Zen 2 architect that the latest i3s could compete. Although i agree with you said, you still need to take into consideration the architect of the chips. Just remember, Intel and AMD are changing architect of their chips every year. So any new architect of latest chips can trounce chips with older architect, whether of the same brand and/or regardless a competing brand. Sites like notebookcheck and nanoreview confirms that, if you put competing chips to compare with their benchmark scores. Hence the reason why i said the i3s of the later gens are as fast as i5/i7s and maybe Ryzen 5s, but of older gens. There's even the comparison between the i3-1215U and Ryzen 5 5500U when both these chips perform almost similar in terms of IPC speed.
The reason for the complexity, is there are quite a few important metrics, that aren’t always easy to fit into specific needs without offering a large variety of options to cover the various needs. Cores, clock speed, cache, power needs, hyperthreading, and etc, are all the most metrics that you don’t always need every metric to be high. Some people need more cores but slower cores are more than sufficient. Or maybe vice versa. Someone only has a workload that can use a single core, so they would benefit from the speed of that core instead of extra cores. Because of this, their model# looks like a weird combo of digits and #s but if you learn how to decode it, it starts to make a lot of sense. I honestly don’t think there is any best way to do this, I think it’s ok.
I have an i3-12100, i5-12400, and an R5 5600X. When paired with a similar GPU, it's hard to tell their performance apart. That makes the i3-12100 my darling of the three. I have both i3 and i5 mostly for gaming while the R5 is geared for productivity.
more number means more cores And it helps in only multi tasking . i3 and i9 have same performance if you are playing same game without any process in background.
I switched from my old i7 that i bought 2012 or 2013 maybe, to an i3-12100 recently mainly because i read it has the best price-performance ratio and also it need only consumes like 50% of the power the i7 needed. Since i also mostly play just mobile games via emulator in the last years and have to save money, that was a good move i guess.
I also run i3-12100,paired with rtx 3070 and ddr4 memory,runs practically all games i own,many of them with ultra settings.I think raytracing would be where it starts struggling,at least thats what i noticed with MetroExodus.
@@beldin2987 You can play many games on this, depending on the graphics card possibly everything. Some older games are playable without a dedicated graphics card.
my first laptop was an aspire with a pentium n3700 (acquired in 2015), it lasted 7 years with real rough use, i had to change the battery, ram, hdd, keyboard and the touchscreen before worrying of the processor. it still works btw
That is a great suggestion. Tbh I thought about mentioning threads but given the target audience here was anyone who know little to nothing I did not want to overwhelm them. I will likely think about making a part 2 and cover that part in more details too.
@@SoulOfTech On the passmark site you can see the P versus E cores per CPU. A P-core has 2 threads, an E core only 1. A P-core is higher clocked. Intel numbering system has been troublesome since the start. 8086, 8088, 80286, 80186, 80386, 486, Pentium, etc etc. I have the impression that all i5's start equally. But after the wire bonding the chip is tested and if one P-core has a fault in the thread switcher, it becomes an E-core. The first number after 'i5' is the generation, unless that number is a '1'; then the first 2 digits are the generation. A 3230 is 3rd generation. An 1115 is 11th generation. People should be aware of this trick.
Very informative video but I feel like it might be useful to mention the prices of the cpus on their own as well as in prebuilt systems. For example, you said an i3's price range varies between 300 and 450 but you can purchase the newest i3, the 13100/F for 118-140 USD when not in a prebuild. Other than that, this was a very useful video, especially for people who don't know as much about processors.
I agree with your idea of not really taking i9 into consideration unless you are required to have it. I have seen PC builds with i9 which gets bottle-necked and its base budget increases to accommodate this beast of a chip. I did say go with i5. And if you want a bit more edge and want a longer future proofing go for the i7.
My son has an i7 3770k OC @ 4.6 GHz and my daughter has an i7 2600k OC @ 4.4 GHz (both with just single fan AIOs for cooling) and they both still rip. They are not going to run new AAA games on ultra or anything, but for being THAT old (cheap) and STILL be a viable option for 1080p gaming is amazing. I don't have anything against team red (I have a Ryzen 3700X), both are now knocking it out of the park as far as future-proofing.
Agreed. I've been running an i7-3770k with a slight OC & Corsair AIO on an ASUS Z77 Sabertooth mobo since 2013.... still runs great, rock solid, and since I'm ready to migrate to a new system in two weeks, I'll pass this on to my son.
@@eskieman3948I ran a very similar configuration for my first desktop, 3770k, sabertooth z77, 280mm Corsair aio, definitely a solid system for its age, I used to run new AAA games at high in 2020 with that and it was perfectly playable. Did end up having to upgrade as it was starting to get weak for my heavy workloads, started having thermal throttling issues, and the GTX 970 I had was having issues with random crashing, went with a 12700K and a 3070 and it’s great, will probably several last years to come
Quad core i5 laptop (MacBook Pro) and quad core i7 desktop (iMac 5K)... still going strong after 6+ years running Adobe Photoshop for my photography needs. While processors have gotten complex, I'm so glad the days of having to upgrade every year are gone. So much easier to justify the expense now since they last way longer.
I’m an architecture student who has a 13th gen intel evo i9 CPU and a Nivida GeForce 4070 GPU (all on a Dell XPS 15 9530 model). Is this a good choice of laptop for me? I’m constantly running Google Chrome, Photoshop, Illustrator, Revit, and even Rhino 8 all at once.
I remember in 2014 when I went from a 2006 pentium d system to a brand new at the time core i3 system. It was definitely a big jump. Was faster. Ran much cooler and quieter. Etc. it did everything I needed at the time and until 2019 when I upgraded. I have no doubt I could still use it today without issue
I just built a High End System, it may be overkill however I tend to make my systems last from 7 to 10 years with only a minimum of upgrading. I am also heavy into gaming and Flight Sims.

You should add the generation tho. Also not all cores are the same, i.e. low power i7s will have plenty of E-cores, but not P-cores and will be way less powerful than even a last gen i5 with 2 or 4 P cores. The proposition there is that it's hella power efficient, it's incredibly powerful for the energy used HOWEVER if you are after just performance you don't care about it. That's what's most difficult nowadays. The neat little marketing boxes end up just being confusing.
????????????????????? what are you talking about? mobile core CPUs??? There's no such thing as a dekstop i7 being weaker than a previous generation i5.
@Bee-f1r There's such a thing as current laptop i7 being weaker than last gen laptop i5. Now, it's been at least a year since I've watched this video so I'm not sure, but I think I was using an extreme example to show how talking about just "i5" or "i7" is completely useless if you don't also specify "desktop", "unlocked" and/or the generation.
@Bee-f1r ok I will stop pointing out the fact we are NOT talking exclusively about laptops because it's clear both by the stock footage used, by what he says and by the specifications mentioned that he's talking about both. I never mentioned desktop specifically, instead I was pretty explicit by talking about "low power"; so you either did not understand the video, didn't read my comment correctly or both. But we're already here so might as well complete the answer with an example. The 13th gen i7 1350U has 10 cores. The 12th gen i5 1240P has 12 cores. This should already be sufficient, but it's not enough: the i7 is 2 P cores and 8 E cores, while the i5 is 4 P cores and 8 E cores. 1240P has a power target of 28 W with boost up to 64 W, while the power target of the i7 is 15 W with a boost of 55 W. The performance difference of the architectures is minimal, so you can basically compare them clock for clock and watt for watt. A laptop 12th gen i5 1240P is faster by about 13% than a laptop 13th gen i7 1350U. And I could make bigger examples and use something like a 10th gen 10500H is 10% faster than the infamous 1350U.
WOW. What took me so long to find this. You are absolutely right it used to be so simple to identify CPU's, this includes AMD also. Thanks for the breakdown. You earned a like/sub for this content.
I own celeron 4120 4g ram for 2 years. I work in office, edit pics and 1080p videos. The battery still last like it is new, 4 hours and all day if i used in office. I close all startup, stop background apps, and max the processor. 13.3 inch touch laptop, with usb c full function, 3.5mm, sd card reader. 1.2kg. I wish i can upgrade ram and processor, but the laptop ran smooth. I regret bought i5 gaming laptop, heavy, bulky, battery so poor died on 1st year. For travel and office use please consider celeron. Trust me, for usd200 especially N100 it feel like i3, with better battery life.
I have owned laptop with a Celaron, two laptops with i5, an i7, and my latest being an i9 workstation. In my experience the Intel Celaron and Intel i5 seemed to have a lot of latency, or were underpowered when running most applications at the same time as the Internet browser. When I purchased my first i7, many of these problems seemed to resolve even while 3D gaming. Unbelievable excellent and informative video! A review of gaming and design GPUs would be excellent!
Great video....simple, practical, and easy to understand for those of us that know some things, but not experts on any of this. I have a 12 year old desktop with Intel Core i7 CPU that cannot be upgraded to Win11. It is running slower and slower by the day. I recently purchased a new desktop with Core i7 13700 CPU with 16 cores, running Win11, hopefully that will last a few years. Now working through issues of migrating my old PC onto my new PC.
I know I'm late here, but I did similar work with my 2011 Probook 4430s laptop. It came from the factory with Win7, an i5, and 8 gb of ram and I abused that thing gaming for years. What ended up slowing her down was the Hard Disc getting old. That may very well be the case for you too, especially if it is the original. I went through mine a few months ago and upgraded to an i7, 16 gb of ram, new bluetooth/wifi card, and a brand new SSD to replace the old HDD. All of it totalled up to about 100$. That sucker boots up in seconds now and runs like it just came off the assembly line in 2011. Still doesn't change the fact she won't make it to Win11, but I can get a few more years out of her pretty easily now for super cheap. That's the beauty of obsolete parts. You can get flagship parts that are no longer relevant for very low prices. Cutting-edge parts, 10 years ago.
The generation is just a marker of which year the chip was released in. Gen 11 for example was released in 2021, gen 12 in 2022 and gen 13 in 2023. Natraully each generation is more powerful than the last but the diffrence is not always a grand one.
This works as long as you are only considering currently produced stuff. However, some of the best deals these days are in refurbished computers that are from 3 to 10 years old. Comparing today's i3 or even Celeron to an i7 from 7 years ago might be a little more complicated. I'd argue for getting more RAM over a faster or newer processor. Having only 4GBytes of RAM cripple more machines than a slow processor ever did.
What i looking for is a CPU and MB that i can host VMware on.. i have an old full server in my home and want to move to hosting my VMware on on a desktop (have 6 VMs (storage server, media server and backup data (veeam) server). Would the i7 i9 be able to do the job?
Any Intel CPU with 4 real cores (no hyper-threading) with a core clock of 3.2 Ghz or better is more than enough for most people. Anything 3.2 ghz or above in not noticeable if any above that point. After that, it's a matter of having at least +8 GB ram and a good video card.
Agree. It will be worth if laptop battery last for 3 years before replace. Know your reason to buy and be productive, i find playing games wasting time. More expensive chip used more power.
And to pile on the confusion, I browse some refurbished PC's with i7-4790 processors (which sounds great)...BUT, they are "4th-Gen" which apparently makes them "dinosaurs" I am told. Sooo a later gen i5, could be better than an earlier gen i7??
That is true. An i7 is only “better” (for lack of a more fitting word) than an i5 of the same generation. In some cases, an i5 of a newer gen can benchmark better than an i7 of the previous gen. A 13th gen i5 will be a much better choice compared to a 4th gen i7, just as you would expect for a chip that came out this 2023 vs something that was released 9 years ago.
Agreed. I use to own a Core i3-3120m device some years ago. It was alright for normal usage. But my current device comes with a Core i3-1215U, this is a much powerful and faster processor than the i3-3120m. Even the integrated uhd graphics 64eu gpu in i3-1215u is much faster than i3-3120m's hd graphics 4000 and allow me to play games like american and euro truck simulators better.
true, 12th and 13th gen i3 with decent video cards can give you almost the same performance as i5 or i7 for games that only use 4 cores of CPU as i3 performance per core is as fast as some i5 with the same generation.
Hello SoulOfTech family, I'm new to this channel. Currently speaking I'm about to buy a HP EliteBook x360 1030 G2 i7. Few specifications: It has an Intel core i7 - 7600U up to 3.40 GHz, with an Intel HD Graphics 620. RAM 16GB, Memory 1TB . I want to know, if this kind of laptop can handle the programs like AutoCAD, Ubuntu program etc for an architecture student for the next three years. Please what does it mean when a retail stores tags laptop, "Condition" to be "Demo Unit" ? A response will be highly appreciated, Thanks.
Hi Emmanuel, I would avoid getting a 7600u at this point in time. That is a 6+ year old chip at this point in time. You ideally want a chip that is 10th generation or higher (1XXX, 11XX or 12XX model number). Demo and condition units are essentially used units that were either display models in store or were returned by a previous user.
Great review, but you should've added information about generation because sometimes you might have an older i7 which has poor efficiency or power than lower end new generation
@@SoulOfTechyou're right, i have i7 7700HQ (i7 gen 7 high performance series) laptop and its performance lose to my i5 1235u (i5 gen 12 low power series) laptop about 25% score in benchmark.
But now Hx Vs H processor are graphically different. Such as 13900H has Xe graphics and Vpro compatibility, but 13450HX dont. Can you do feature comparison?
Which latest configuration is best for 3D work, video editing job? If I purchase i9 13900 Can anyone give details for the matching hardware stuff for that processor.
wait for 15th gen intel, they are changing the socket so you will not be able to upgrade your pc afterwards. You can buy a quadro but a 4070, 4080, 4090 or 30 gen cards will be fine. Just make sure they have 24 or atleast 12 gigs of VRAM.
I own 2 i5 and 1 i7 based laptops. For my uses the i5 is more than adequate and doesn’t have cooling fan noise. My i7 fan runs 50% of the time and is quite annoying. Something to consider.
This is helpful. Well explained and easy to understand. I hope you'll make a video about the i5 core only, and you'll tackle the apps and photo editing apps that the i5 core would offer and the best ones to use.
Is i5 13420h or i5 13450hx a better pick for coding and long term(i dont play games) or should i increase my budget by like 100~150$ at least to get for same specs i7 13620h
I'm looking through ebay and i saw a "Dell Latitude 5310 2 In 1 13.3 Laptop Intel i7 256GB SSD 16GB" I'll use it for some emulation gaming and fairly extensive work/school activities. Do you think it's a right fit? i don't see any letters at the end.
I have a dell Optiplex7010 i7-3770(what generation is this ? ) what is the best upgrade to processor for using windows 10 or 11 without having to change out motherboard thanks
As per current market (prices available to me ) 12400f , 13600k, 14700f , 13900k, are the one's that makes sense in the Market the most cost effective ones. i9 have stability problems in recent times and failure rate too High Multi-core of R9 7900X is better in many scenarios even less cores . 7600x , 7700x , 7800x3d and 7900x or 7900x3d makes There's currently many case of 14900k melting aways itself or the motherboard no over clocking 360mm AIO yet struggling to maintainin temps failed to UST utilise the hige no of cores it have. Xeon and thresdripper seens better option for powrr users just pay more than getting issue.
Thank you for for this. By far one of the most simple but clear cut explanations. I am looking into the mini PCs for productivity and regular school work. This is very helpful in making a smarter decision. For someone getting into coding, what would you recommend between intel and Ryzen? Thank you in advance.
Glad it was helpful! Honestly between Intel and AMD its impossible to select one over the other. My suggestion is to get the one with the best pricing/deal at the time. It is worth noting however that Ryzen laptops do tend to runner a little cooler vs 13th gen intel processors.
I have a question. So I have a i5 processor with 16GB of ram and a Nivada RTX GPU. I’m wondering why it can take Forza horizon 5 at full graphics with no issues whatsoever but has to be on very low settings on Forza motorsport when to me there seemts to be no difference between the games on the surface. Which component of my computer needs upgrading?
As an i3 - 1115G4 user, I can say gaming is pretty OK, like Valorant gives 80fps, Minecraft is 70fps and CS:GO is a mediocre to horrible 30-40fps. If you have a dedicated GPU unlike me, for example, a higher variant of this laptop has an NVIDIA GeForce MX330 which is way better. However everyday tasks are awesome in this laptop as I can open 6 apps at the same time with no problem and the CPU maxes out at 4.1GHz according to CPU-Z as advertised.4K video streaming is super easy, heck I'm watching this video in 4K. If anyone wants a new laptop which is the best VFM, then I recommend the i3 or Ryzen 5 for my AMD bros. EDIT - CSGO is now 60 - 80 FPS!
Here's a quick summary of each one: Intel Celeron: VEGETABLE PROCESSOR, YUCK. No, seriously this thing is traaaaaaash. Like, REALLY? 1.1 GHZ!? I'm trying to watch Techquickie and now I'm buffering on 360p!!! Intel Pentium: Yes. This is definitely it. A budget, not-too-weak processor that gets by my everyday tasks and indie games with ease. I recommend this 101%. Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad: Maybe a bit too overpowered for it's time. I'd rather use a mid-range pentium than a late 2000's dual core. These are a barren wasteland nowadays. Intel Core i3: Don't get me started with the i3. It's decent enough, gets by some old games I'd wanna dust off and can perform moderately tough stuff. Intel Core i5: Wow, power huh? This is actually also like the i3 in a way but better for power. I'd use and i5 over an i3 for some harder stuff, maybe if I wanna pursue TH-cam full time. Intel Core i7: Gaming, gaming, gaming and did I mention gaming? Yes, the i7 is all about gaming. You can do a lot with an i7. I'd use this in any case if I wanted to play Fortnite on 165fps (i dont play it tho) Intel Core i9: Very overkill processor. I'd only use for really high end stuff like 8K playback and hyper multitasking. Intel Atom (bonus): Bottom of the barrel CPUs. Low clockspeed, low core count and low TDPs, usually under 8 watts. Great in ultra-budget older Windows laptops. (bonus ii electric boogaloo!) Core 2 Extreme: Way too expensive nowadays and its Only use is retro gaming PCs. Very overkill for its time.
Good video :) IDK. I use a 13th gen i5 13600 for gaming and complex programming and it's fine. It's not the blastest fastest in the world, but I can play modded Witcher III on ultra RT for 1-2 hours before the cpu start being hot and I turn it down to normal RT. Seems to me that the mid to high-mid levels of CPU's nowadays is enough for most users who have some demand on their system. Plz correct me if I'm wrong with details, I like learning :)
I’ll be making a follow up video on power classes and generations in the near future. In the mean time: U Series = Low wattage chips, better battery life, less heat, reduced performance P Series = Mid Wattage, medium battery life and good performance H series = High wattage, high heat, reduce battery life, high end performance

I see many 2012-2015 i3 thinkpads (and the sort) with SATA SSDs that are still kicking. No one will be satisfied with every CPU if it doesn't meet their expectations, but it doesn't mean that every CPU is bad! N series and 4 GB of RAM is enough on a light OS, such as small home servers or Chromebooks
I have been intrigued lately in ultra-low-power processing. Sort of wish the world would focus of efficiency more than power
I bought H series (i didn't know much at time of purchase) but I hate it now. U series is best for average users (low gaming and rendering
I bought the i7-12700k, Im really happy with that CPU, I use it for college work like 3-modeling in a CAD program and running simulations. It handles games also really well and Im pretty confident that I dont have to upgrade for the next 8-10 years
Hello bro, I am planning to buy i5-12600k, is it good enough to handle CAD software ?
@@bhaveshartsy7805 yeah totally, you have 10 cores and hyper threading on the P-cores so you have effectively 16 threads. You have a bit less cache however but I doubt that would be a problem. If you put in a bit more money, you could also get the i5-13600k, which is actually better then mine
@@alobeat7665 Yeah, I have been thinking about it too. I must have a Z series Mobo for that as per the research I did. because I am not getting a GPU now, I will save and then buy it until then it's already capable CPU. talking about i5-13600k

I think the one thing you could have mentioned is breaking down what the model # means like how a 12600k , the 12 indicates generation 600 is the relative performance and the k means if it can be overclocked and if it has onboard video capabilities.
k models are desktop only
@@bulkyiest Because the cooling on laptops is too shitty to even cool a not overclocked chip sometimes.
Today my search is over!! The most simplest explanation I could ever find! Incredible!!
Glad to be of help!
But it's more complex than u think...
I've built my own systems for many years. I've always gone with the i7 or i9 of the series. I've also always maxed out the ram. These systems are always good for 7 to 9 years of use.
If you use good quality parts, they last.
I have core 2 duo and played high end games and running heavy 3D softwares.. It's been 14 years and still the processor runs like butter.
My i3 first gen runs smooth as ever. I recently bought a core 2 duo laptop which is 15 year old and installed latest fedora in it. It is really smooth and I can do whatever online and office things I want easily
@@kdreamscosmos4279 you sure ? can i know which 3D software and do you have any GPU ?
@bhaveshartsy7805 sure... I purchased an HP cpu with core 2 duo with 2 gb ram in 2009 and upgraded msi nvidia gtx 550ti and corsair 500 power supply and 2 gb ram in 2011.
Used softwares like Autodesk Maya, 3ds max, houdini, zbrush, realflow, nuke, unreal engine 3 blender wasn't good at that time.
Played games- gta v, assassin's creed black flag, witcher 3, crysis 3 and many more.
@@kdreamscosmos4279 Do you still use that build, now the software are kind of heavy and doing something which takes a lot of CPU power will slow you down.
I have a Laptop i5 4200u with 1 gb AMD graphics and 4 GB RAM, it has given me hard times when I created my artworks and also when I edited the video, also using 3d software as well. I don't give too much load on that now.
This is why I always consult a CPU hierarchy chart and CPU performance/price ratio chart before buying. I pick a budget, representing the quality I'm looking for, and the follow down from the top to find the first CPU that meets that budget on the performance/price ratio chart. Then I use the hierarchy chart to compare CPUs.
Same thing for GPUs.
thanks, i'm bout to use that strategy to pick a gpu right now
Wish it could just be "Intel Processor 1", "Intel Processor 2" with budget friendly versions like "Intel Processor 2-lite" and higher end ones named "Intel Processor 2-Max"

The up to date i3s in 12th and 13th gen are just as powerful as some (if not few) yesteryear i5s and i7s and competes with some Ryzen 5 CPUs. So they could handle a little more multitasking and run more games better than the standard or older gen i3s. I know this for a fact especially since my current laptop has the Core i3-1215U inside it.
Glad to hear that is the case!
Which generation..
@@preetomdas3886 12th Gen Alder Lake
"Competes with Ryzen 5", this isn't correct. The Ryzen 5 always competes with the equivalent generation/year i5 processor. Ryzen 3 processors were created to compete directly with i3. Also, Ryzens are similar in that a newer gen i3 can sometimes be faster than yesteryear Ryzen 5 or 7's, but never the equivalent generation.
@@ChildrenOfDesire I was referring to the older gen Ryzen 5s that uses up to Zen 2 architect that the latest i3s could compete. Although i agree with you said, you still need to take into consideration the architect of the chips. Just remember, Intel and AMD are changing architect of their chips every year. So any new architect of latest chips can trounce chips with older architect, whether of the same brand and/or regardless a competing brand. Sites like notebookcheck and nanoreview confirms that, if you put competing chips to compare with their benchmark scores. Hence the reason why i said the i3s of the later gens are as fast as i5/i7s and maybe Ryzen 5s, but of older gens. There's even the comparison between the i3-1215U and Ryzen 5 5500U when both these chips perform almost similar in terms of IPC speed.

Bro please help.. I just bought HP Intel core i5 4200m.. can it play GTA v on low graphics??
hmm not really sure, never really played gtav before but im sure it would run atleast ok@@emmanuelomosuyi3039
wait actually that probably wont be ok bc it only has 2 cores soo sorry but still check@@emmanuelomosuyi3039
The reason for the complexity, is there are quite a few important metrics, that aren’t always easy to fit into specific needs without offering a large variety of options to cover the various needs. Cores, clock speed, cache, power needs, hyperthreading, and etc, are all the most metrics that you don’t always need every metric to be high. Some people need more cores but slower cores are more than sufficient. Or maybe vice versa. Someone only has a workload that can use a single core, so they would benefit from the speed of that core instead of extra cores. Because of this, their model# looks like a weird combo of digits and #s but if you learn how to decode it, it starts to make a lot of sense. I honestly don’t think there is any best way to do this, I think it’s ok.
I have an i3-12100, i5-12400, and an R5 5600X. When paired with a similar GPU, it's hard to tell their performance apart. That makes the i3-12100 my darling of the three. I have both i3 and i5 mostly for gaming while the R5 is geared for productivity.
I heard the i3-12100 is basically last generations i5
more number means more cores
And it helps in only multi tasking .
i3 and i9 have same performance if you are playing same game without any process in background.
I switched from my old i7 that i bought 2012 or 2013 maybe, to an i3-12100 recently mainly because i read it has the best price-performance ratio and also it need only consumes like 50% of the power the i7 needed.
Since i also mostly play just mobile games via emulator in the last years and have to save money, that was a good move i guess.
I also run i3-12100,paired with rtx 3070 and ddr4 memory,runs practically all games i own,many of them with ultra settings.I think raytracing would be where it starts struggling,at least thats what i noticed with MetroExodus.
@@beldin2987 You can play many games on this, depending on the graphics card possibly everything. Some older games are playable without a dedicated graphics card.

my first laptop was an aspire with a pentium n3700 (acquired in 2015), it lasted 7 years with real rough use, i had to change the battery, ram, hdd, keyboard and the touchscreen before worrying of the processor.
it still works btw
You should distinguish betwee cores and threads. Just look up the CPU at passmark and then decide. Any value over 5000 is OK.
That is a great suggestion. Tbh I thought about mentioning threads but given the target audience here was anyone who know little to nothing I did not want to overwhelm them. I will likely think about making a part 2 and cover that part in more details too.
@@SoulOfTech On the passmark site you can see the P versus E cores per CPU. A P-core has 2 threads, an E core only 1. A P-core is higher clocked.
Intel numbering system has been troublesome since the start. 8086, 8088, 80286, 80186, 80386, 486, Pentium, etc etc.
I have the impression that all i5's start equally. But after the wire bonding the chip is tested and if one P-core has a fault in the thread switcher, it becomes an E-core.
The first number after 'i5' is the generation, unless that number is a '1'; then the first 2 digits are the generation.
A 3230 is 3rd generation. An 1115 is 11th generation. People should be aware of this trick.

Very informative video but I feel like it might be useful to mention the prices of the cpus on their own as well as in prebuilt systems. For example, you said an i3's price range varies between 300 and 450 but you can purchase the newest i3, the 13100/F for 118-140 USD when not in a prebuild. Other than that, this was a very useful video, especially for people who don't know as much about processors.
Good point! Ill keep that in mind for future intel related guides. Thanks for watching!
@pizzacrafter60 Uhh... yeah, I know that. I never mentioned anything about cores though?

Some of those sub threads can get pretty long and taxing on the system XD
YeAh even, I need to scroll to the end of ig.,
It would be interesting to get info about how the iX processor compare over the years like if a 3 year old i7 compares to a new i5
Obviously the newer i5 will outperform a 3 year old i7-10xxxH processor.
@@kestonsmith1354 Do you have metrics on that?
I agree with your idea of not really taking i9 into consideration unless you are required to have it. I have seen PC builds with i9 which gets bottle-necked and its base budget increases to accommodate this beast of a chip. I did say go with i5. And if you want a bit more edge and want a longer future proofing go for the i7.
My son has an i7 3770k OC @ 4.6 GHz and my daughter has an i7 2600k OC @ 4.4 GHz (both with just single fan AIOs for cooling) and they both still rip. They are not going to run new AAA games on ultra or anything, but for being THAT old (cheap) and STILL be a viable option for 1080p gaming is amazing. I don't have anything against team red (I have a Ryzen 3700X), both are now knocking it out of the park as far as future-proofing.
Agreed. I've been running an i7-3770k with a slight OC & Corsair AIO on an ASUS Z77 Sabertooth mobo since 2013.... still runs great, rock solid, and since I'm ready to migrate to a new system in two weeks, I'll pass this on to my son.
@@eskieman3948I ran a very similar configuration for my first desktop, 3770k, sabertooth z77, 280mm Corsair aio, definitely a solid system for its age, I used to run new AAA games at high in 2020 with that and it was perfectly playable. Did end up having to upgrade as it was starting to get weak for my heavy workloads, started having thermal throttling issues, and the GTX 970 I had was having issues with random crashing, went with a 12700K and a 3070 and it’s great, will probably several last years to come
Thank you for the explanation!!
You bet!
You know, I've had problems with my PC and I really don't want to believe it's the processor but rather Windows.
That will depend on the type of problems you have now. You could have downloaded Windows incorrectly and that is why the operating system is failing.
That's what I was thinking about looking for a Windows key to see if it works so I can find out that it's not the processor.
It seems the most logical thing to me and BNH Software has always helped me.

I remember in 2014 when I went from a 2006 pentium d system to a brand new at the time core i3 system. It was definitely a big jump. Was faster. Ran much cooler and quieter. Etc. it did everything I needed at the time and until 2019 when I upgraded. I have no doubt I could still use it today without issue

You should add the generation tho. Also not all cores are the same, i.e. low power i7s will have plenty of E-cores, but not P-cores and will be way less powerful than even a last gen i5 with 2 or 4 P cores. The proposition there is that it's hella power efficient, it's incredibly powerful for the energy used HOWEVER if you are after just performance you don't care about it.
That's what's most difficult nowadays. The neat little marketing boxes end up just being confusing.
????????????????????? what are you talking about? mobile core CPUs??? There's no such thing as a dekstop i7 being weaker than a previous generation i5.
@Bee-f1r There's such a thing as current laptop i7 being weaker than last gen laptop i5.
Now, it's been at least a year since I've watched this video so I'm not sure, but I think I was using an extreme example to show how talking about just "i5" or "i7" is completely useless if you don't also specify "desktop", "unlocked" and/or the generation.
@Bee-f1r at 0:27 he's showing mobile processors with different power targets, for example
@Bee-f1r 1:05 LAPTOP and desktops
@Bee-f1r ok I will stop pointing out the fact we are NOT talking exclusively about laptops because it's clear both by the stock footage used, by what he says and by the specifications mentioned that he's talking about both.
I never mentioned desktop specifically, instead I was pretty explicit by talking about "low power"; so you either did not understand the video, didn't read my comment correctly or both.
But we're already here so might as well complete the answer with an example.
The 13th gen i7 1350U has 10 cores. The 12th gen i5 1240P has 12 cores. This should already be sufficient, but it's not enough: the i7 is 2 P cores and 8 E cores, while the i5 is 4 P cores and 8 E cores. 1240P has a power target of 28 W with boost up to 64 W, while the power target of the i7 is 15 W with a boost of 55 W. The performance difference of the architectures is minimal, so you can basically compare them clock for clock and watt for watt. A laptop 12th gen i5 1240P is faster by about 13% than a laptop 13th gen i7 1350U.
And I could make bigger examples and use something like a 10th gen 10500H is 10% faster than the infamous 1350U.
I have an i5- 3570K from 2012 thats still kickin! Running valorant fine with my 1650 lol. I need to upgrade though, its about time

I own celeron 4120 4g ram for 2 years. I work in office, edit pics and 1080p videos. The battery still last like it is new, 4 hours and all day if i used in office. I close all startup, stop background apps, and max the processor. 13.3 inch touch laptop, with usb c full function, 3.5mm, sd card reader. 1.2kg. I wish i can upgrade ram and processor, but the laptop ran smooth. I regret bought i5 gaming laptop, heavy, bulky, battery so poor died on 1st year. For travel and office use please consider celeron. Trust me, for usd200 especially N100 it feel like i3, with better battery life.
I have owned laptop with a Celaron, two laptops with i5, an i7, and my latest being an i9 workstation. In my experience the Intel Celaron and Intel i5 seemed to have a lot of latency, or were underpowered when running most applications at the same time as the Internet browser. When I purchased my first i7, many of these problems seemed to resolve even while 3D gaming. Unbelievable excellent and informative video! A review of gaming and design GPUs would be excellent!
Great video....simple, practical, and easy to understand for those of us that know some things, but not experts on any of this. I have a 12 year old desktop with Intel Core i7 CPU that cannot be upgraded to Win11. It is running slower and slower by the day. I recently purchased a new desktop with Core i7 13700 CPU with 16 cores, running Win11, hopefully that will last a few years. Now working through issues of migrating my old PC onto my new PC.
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with the migration!
I know I'm late here, but I did similar work with my 2011 Probook 4430s laptop.
It came from the factory with Win7, an i5, and 8 gb of ram and I abused that thing gaming for years. What ended up slowing her down was the Hard Disc getting old. That may very well be the case for you too, especially if it is the original.
I went through mine a few months ago and upgraded to an i7, 16 gb of ram, new bluetooth/wifi card, and a brand new SSD to replace the old HDD. All of it totalled up to about 100$. That sucker boots up in seconds now and runs like it just came off the assembly line in 2011. Still doesn't change the fact she won't make it to Win11, but I can get a few more years out of her pretty easily now for super cheap. That's the beauty of obsolete parts. You can get flagship parts that are no longer relevant for very low prices. Cutting-edge parts, 10 years ago.
Seriously underrated content .but what are the generations on each Intel core(like i7 12th gen or i5 11 gen(
The generation is just a marker of which year the chip was released in. Gen 11 for example was released in 2021, gen 12 in 2022 and gen 13 in 2023. Natraully each generation is more powerful than the last but the diffrence is not always a grand one.
This works as long as you are only considering currently produced stuff. However, some of the best deals these days are in refurbished computers that are from 3 to 10 years old. Comparing today's i3 or even Celeron to an i7 from 7 years ago might be a little more complicated. I'd argue for getting more RAM over a faster or newer processor. Having only 4GBytes of RAM cripple more machines than a slow processor ever did.
Yup, this is why I recently made a video highlighting the difference between CPU generations, see pinned comment or video description.
Yup, we need another video about the numbers after iX :)

Any Intel CPU with 4 real cores (no hyper-threading) with a core clock of 3.2 Ghz or better is more than enough for most people. Anything 3.2 ghz or above in not noticeable if any above that point. After that, it's a matter of having at least +8 GB ram and a good video card.

And to pile on the confusion, I browse some refurbished PC's with i7-4790 processors (which sounds great)...BUT, they are "4th-Gen" which apparently makes them "dinosaurs" I am told. Sooo a later gen i5, could be better than an earlier gen i7??
That is true. An i7 is only “better” (for lack of a more fitting word) than an i5 of the same generation. In some cases, an i5 of a newer gen can benchmark better than an i7 of the previous gen. A 13th gen i5 will be a much better choice compared to a 4th gen i7, just as you would expect for a chip that came out this 2023 vs something that was released 9 years ago.
great explanation

Agreed. I use to own a Core i3-3120m device some years ago. It was alright for normal usage.

Please what does it mean when a retail stores tags laptop, "Condition" to be "Demo Unit" ?
A response will be highly appreciated, Thanks.
Hi Emmanuel, I would avoid getting a 7600u at this point in time. That is a 6+ year old chip at this point in time. You ideally want a chip that is 10th generation or higher (1XXX, 11XX or 12XX model number). Demo and condition units are essentially used units that were either display models in store or were returned by a previous user.

I'm looking through ebay and i saw a "Dell Latitude 5310 2 In 1 13.3 Laptop Intel i7 256GB SSD 16GB"
I'll use it for some emulation gaming and fairly extensive work/school activities. Do you think it's a right fit? i don't see any letters at the end.
Excellent video ... I am going to see if in your channel exists a covering about "ultra" too
Thank you! Ultra explainer video will be covered in Jan 2025. Giving intel sometime to fully release their product line up
@@SoulOfTech Thanks for the quick and polite reply. I understand
I have a 13th gen i3-13100. Is that good enough for gaming along with a Aorus RTX 3070 and 32 GB if ddr 5 ram at 6000mhz?
I have a dell Optiplex7010 i7-3770(what generation is this ? ) what is the best upgrade to processor for using windows 10 or 11 without having to change out motherboard thanks
As per current market (prices available to me )
12400f , 13600k, 14700f , 13900k, are the one's that makes sense in the Market the most cost effective ones.
i9 have stability problems in recent times and failure rate too High
Multi-core of R9 7900X is better in many scenarios even less cores .
7600x , 7700x , 7800x3d and 7900x or 7900x3d makes
There's currently many case of 14900k melting aways itself or the motherboard no over clocking 360mm AIO yet struggling to maintainin temps failed to UST utilise the hige no of cores it have.
Xeon and thresdripper seens better option for powrr users just pay more than getting issue.
What would be best for trading stocks? Im looking for a pc for that specific use and purpose
i5/Core5 is great if you have the budget but if you're trying to minimize cost you can settle for a curreent gen i3 as well.
@@SoulOfTech thank you 👍🏽
I have an HP workstation which uses any one of a slew of Xeon processors.. I’d love a deep dive into them at some point…Thx!
Thank you for for this. By far one of the most simple but clear cut explanations. I am looking into the mini PCs for productivity and regular school work. This is very helpful in making a smarter decision. For someone getting into coding, what would you recommend between intel and Ryzen? Thank you in advance.
Glad it was helpful! Honestly between Intel and AMD its impossible to select one over the other. My suggestion is to get the one with the best pricing/deal at the time. It is worth noting however that Ryzen laptops do tend to runner a little cooler vs 13th gen intel processors.
I still don't get it. For example is a i7 13th gen with a hx better than a i9 12th gen with a h?
Generally speaking yes.
I want to get the Elitebook 840 G5 i7-8550U, what are your opinions please?
My school laptop has an N100. Which tier is it? Between Pentium Silver & Gold? I dont know
I need a processor that allows me use of MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint and Autocad, as well as watching videos online. Is Core i7 the right choice?
Hey there, assuming you are getting a current gen processor I would say somewhere between i5 and i7 is the ideal choice.
Is 13gen i5 13500H future proof ? As well as good for multi tasking and gaming?
I have a question. So I have a i5 processor with 16GB of ram and a Nivada RTX GPU. I’m wondering why it can take Forza horizon 5 at full graphics with no issues whatsoever but has to be on very low settings on Forza motorsport when to me there seemts to be no difference between the games on the surface. Which component of my computer needs upgrading?
i9 10850K. I built the system in Feb of 2021 for race and flight simulators. It's performed beautifully.
Which option is better Core i3 th11 vs Core i5 th10?
I made a video recently covering this topic, you can find in the video description or pinned comment.
As an i3 - 1115G4 user, I can say gaming is pretty OK, like Valorant gives 80fps, Minecraft is 70fps and CS:GO is a mediocre to horrible 30-40fps. If you have a dedicated GPU unlike me, for example, a higher variant of this laptop has an NVIDIA GeForce MX330 which is way better. However everyday tasks are awesome in this laptop as I can open 6 apps at the same time with no problem and the CPU maxes out at 4.1GHz according to CPU-Z as advertised.4K video streaming is super easy, heck I'm watching this video in 4K. If anyone wants a new laptop which is the best VFM, then I recommend the i3 or Ryzen 5 for my AMD bros.
EDIT - CSGO is now 60 - 80 FPS!
Great explanation without over technical
Here's a quick summary of each one:
Intel Celeron:
VEGETABLE PROCESSOR, YUCK. No, seriously this thing is traaaaaaash. Like, REALLY? 1.1 GHZ!? I'm trying to watch Techquickie and now I'm buffering on 360p!!!
Intel Pentium:
Yes. This is definitely it. A budget, not-too-weak processor that gets by my everyday tasks and indie games with ease. I recommend this 101%.
Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad:
Maybe a bit too overpowered for it's time. I'd rather use a mid-range pentium than a late 2000's dual core. These are a barren wasteland nowadays.
Intel Core i3:
Don't get me started with the i3. It's decent enough, gets by some old games I'd wanna dust off and can perform moderately tough stuff.
Intel Core i5:
Wow, power huh? This is actually also like the i3 in a way but better for power. I'd use and i5 over an i3 for some harder stuff, maybe if I wanna pursue TH-cam full time.
Intel Core i7:
Gaming, gaming, gaming and did I mention gaming? Yes, the i7 is all about gaming. You can do a lot with an i7. I'd use this in any case if I wanted to play Fortnite on 165fps (i dont play it tho)
Intel Core i9:
Very overkill processor. I'd only use for really high end stuff like 8K playback and hyper multitasking.
Intel Atom (bonus):
Bottom of the barrel CPUs. Low clockspeed, low core count and low TDPs, usually under 8 watts. Great in ultra-budget older Windows laptops.
(bonus ii electric boogaloo!) Core 2 Extreme:
Way too expensive nowadays and its Only use is retro gaming PCs. Very overkill for its time.
Good video :) IDK. I use a 13th gen i5 13600 for gaming and complex programming and it's fine. It's not the blastest fastest in the world, but I can play modded Witcher III on ultra RT for 1-2 hours before the cpu start being hot and I turn it down to normal RT. Seems to me that the mid to high-mid levels of CPU's nowadays is enough for most users who have some demand on their system. Plz correct me if I'm wrong with details, I like learning :)
What game is in the min 6:26?
Would u pls explain the diff between the sub classes. I.e. u/p/h ? I am confused which one should i get in i7
I’ll be making a follow up video on power classes and generations in the near future. In the mean time:
U Series = Low wattage chips, better battery life, less heat, reduced performance
P Series = Mid Wattage, medium battery life and good performance
H series = High wattage, high heat, reduce battery life, high end performance
Thank you, this was very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
