Intel Core i processors in 2010 is brought to replace core 2 processors family such as the core 2 Duo and core 2 Quad. From the series in the new processors are the Core i5 series. We'll take a look at this article on buyers. these treatments and how to choose them.
Initially, there are several chains and is the i7 and i5 i3 and the. We will dedicate this article to the i5. Core i5 class came to replace the core 2 Duo processors, no doubt you started seeing the new wizards everywhere in the laptop market.
Differences between core i5 core 2 Duo:
1. use less power as they made the 32nm technology is less heat and energy from the elbow 2 Duo which is mostly 45nm or 65nm
2. strengthen the graphic card built-in new generation and transmission of almzerbord.
3. the Turbo Boost technology on the i5 which allow for fast action and increase to high speed only when needed, which saves energy rather than using the full processor power is needed.
4. the Hyper-Threading technology, which allows for dual-core processor to work similar to a quad core processor.
How do you choose?
Intel has made it this time, it was the elbow 2 Duo contains a number of sub categories, each category has a number of models with several differences between categories and models making it complex to the purchaser. This time you'll find the complexity with less emphasis on speed only.
In the history of the writing of this article you'll find these models for the individual user on the laptop:
I5-540M: Dual Core/2.53 Ghz/Turbo 3.06 Ghz after speed/cache 3 MB/35 watts
Core i5-520M: dual-core 2.4 Ghz/speed/speed after the Turbo 2 933 Ghz/3 MB L2/35 watts
Core i5-430M: dual 2.26 Ghz/speed/speed after the Turbo 2 533 Ghz/3 MB L2/35 watts
Then you'll find a low-power processor for use in ultra-slim and light devices and noted the letter U in the name of the handler which indicates that low energy "Ultra-Low Voltage"
I5-520UM: Dual Core/speed 1 066 Ghz/speed Turbo after 1 866 Ghz/3 MB L2/18 Watt
The latter is an asymptotic 520E very 520M but with little difference in the way the memory that does not interest you as an individual user, but counts some special uses.
If it can be said that there are currently three official handlers you can choose from, all three processors are identical in specifications, the only difference is the speed of the processor, what determines your choice? Budget.
Because the processors are identical in specification and the only difference is the speed, you won't find much difference between the third and especially the species that you rarely need to full processor speed, so you could say that the three treatments in most cases and similar uses.
