Technical Features Of Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7

Some technical terminologies:

Virtualiztion: In computing virtualiztion is the facility that allows multiple operating systems to simultaneously share   processor resources in a safe and efficient manner. Two types of virtualization hardware and software.

Hyper-threading: Basically it is parallel processing. A is partitioned into small multiple sub processes called threads and these threads are distributed among different cores of processor and computed in parallel to complete a process as a whole in short duration.

 Turbo Boost: The design concept behind Turbo Boost is commonly referred to as "dynamic over clocking". And over clocking is the process of making a computer or component operate faster than the specified clock frequency by the manufacturer by modifying system parameters

CORE i3

Features: The technology behind Core i3 processors includes dual core base, hyper threading support(2-4 threads), and virtualization. Core i3 processors do support 64-bit versions of Windows. By taking advantage of Intel’s new chipset and 32nm technology, Core i3’s have even been known to perform closely to lower end Core 2 Quad processors. It contains 3-4 MB cache.

Usage Scope: If you use your computer for basic tasks such as word processing, email, surfing the web, etc., a Core i3 processor is more than enough to handle all of that with ease. A core i3 processor is a solid, affordable choice for the heavy majority of people.

 CORE i5

Features: Technically, Core i5 processors are marketed a bit differently. There are two main types of Core i5 Processors, dual core, and quad core. Dual core i5 processors have 32nm technology, hyper threading (2-4 threads), virtualization support, and Turbo Boost technology. Quad core i5 processors have 45nm technology, virtualization support and Turbo Boost technology, but do not have hyper threading support. It contains 3-8 MB cache

Usage Scope: Core i5’s offer enough performance to do stuff like video editing and gaming, and more than enough performance to do basic stuff like word processing, internet surfing, and email. A Core i5 processor is a great, mid-range priced processor for people who use their computers frequently and often multi task.

 CORE  i7

Features: Core i7 processors are available in either a LGA1156 chipset or a LGA1366 chipset. Both chipsets offer quad core performance, virtualization support, hyper threading (8 threads), and Turbo Boost Technology. However, the i7 9xx series processors, which utilize the 1366 chipset, are considered to be slightly faster, and the “best of the best” out of all processors, even AMD. . It contains 4-8 MB cache

Usage Scope: Even if you are doing some above average video rendering, Intel’s cheaper Core i5 should be able to handle that. If you know what the term “over clocking” means, the Core i7 may be just what you were looking for.
