Differences Intel Core and Intel Core i7 i5

When buying a high end laptop, you may have experienced difficulty in choosing between laptops with Intel Core i5 Processor or Intel Intel Core i7, considering the price range between the two laptops are indeed quite significant.

Well let me you're not confused, here are the differences between Intel Intel Core processors and Intel Core i7 i5

First, as we all know Intel Core i5 is a version of 'saving' of Intel Core i7. The real difference from the Intel Core and Intel Core i7 i5 is the chipset and socket. Intel Core i5 using socket LGA1156 with P55 chipset (and even the H55, H57 or Q57), while the Intel Core i7 socket LGA1366 and generally use the X58 chipset, this certainly influenced the differences in the performance of both types of processors. Intel Core i5 available at a cheaper price but with performance that is far below Intel's Core i7.

A second difference is the Turbo Mode feature, which Intel Core i7 processors have been equipped with features Turbo Mode that allows the processor Intel Core i7 overclock itself. For example, the original speed is 3.2GHz Intel Core i7, when you play games that require extra performance, the Intel Core i7 processor will automatically mengoverclok speed to the level of 3.46Ghz.

Third, the Intel Core i7 processors generally use DDR3 Triple Channel memory (although some are using dual channel), in contrast with Intel Core i5 using dual channel memory, this of course will greatly affect the performance of your laptop.

The real difference is the fourth of the features of Hyper-Threading, Intel's Core i7 has a quad core even in Windows reads as eight cores, so the ability to perform multi-threading operation was undoubtedly, in contrast with Intel Core i5 that even one is not equipped with this feature.

In conclusion, if you want a high end processor performance, capable of operating multi-threading then choose the Intel Core i7, but certainly more expensive than the Intel Core i5.

How about Intel Core I3? Processors of this type is a class of low-end processors compared to Intel Core and Intel Core i7 i5. Basically Intel Core i3 is similar to an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core processors only I3 has equipped the capabilities of the Intel i7 processors or i5 Series except for the Turbo Boost feature.
