Difference Between Intel Core i3 i5 and i7 Processors

by

 

The difference between i3, i5, and i7 is depending on various factors such as cores, caches, and threading. Firstly, we will go for checking for the main difference factors between Intel core i3 i5 and i7 Processors:

Cores Number

The more core there are in the CPU the more task can be served at the same time. This task is also known as Thread.

Turbo Boost

In Short, The Intel Turbo Boost Technology allows a processor to dynamically increase its clock speed whenever the need arises.

Cache size

Whenever the CPU finds that it keeps on using the same data over and over, it stores that data in the cache. The cache is just like RAM, only faster – because it’s built into the CPU itself. You can know more about the components of the CPU and the Identification of the CPU and its sockets.

Hyperthreading

Intel has introduced a technology called Hyper-Threading. This enables a single core to serve multiple threads.

 

What are the Changes In CPU By Intel Generation Wise

As generations of intel CPU chips grows there are absolute changes that have been made by the company. Below are changed by the company as the CPU upgraded :

  1. Introduced Nano Technology
  2. CPU core power also increased
  3. Number of cores increases
  4. Integration of graphics chip
  5. Integration of controller chip
  6. Cache memory increases
  7. Clock speed increases

 

What is the difference between Intel Core i3 i5 and i7 processors

i3 i5 i7
Cores 2 4 4
Threads 2 4 8
Turbo No 3.8ghz 4ghx
L3 cache 3MB 4MB 8MB

 

 

Difference between different generations of processors

Intel CPU Generations are code names for Intel CPU. They are given below.

 

Code Name Process Features Generations
Westmere (2010) 32nm 1st Generation CPU which is 20% faster than core 2 duo. Secondly, the memory controller is integrated into the CPU. 1st Generation
Sandy Bridge (2011) 32nm Integrated graphics and increased cache memory. Secondly, it is 10% faster than the 1st generation. 2nd Generation
Ivy Bridge (2012) 22nm Firstly, the basic difference is the DIE shrunk in size compared to Sandy Bridge. Moreover, it male improvement in graphics capability, and is targeted toward mobile applications. 3rd Generation
Haswell (2013) 22nm It has integrated PCH and a graphic chip. 4th Generation
Broadwell (2014) 14nm Firstly the basic difference is the DIE shrunk in size compared to Haswell to 14nm, which made an improvement in Thermal Design Power [TDP] 5th Generation
Skylake (2015) 14 nm This redesign gave better CPU and GPU performance. Secondly, It reduces power consumption. 6th Generation
Kaby Lake (2015) 14 nm Firstly, Kaby Lake is built on an improved 14nm process. Secondly, Kaby Lake features faster CPU clock speeds. Thirdly, the Clock speed get changes. Fourthly, Kaby Lake gets a higher Turbo frequency. Lastly, Kaby Lake is the first core architecture to support hyperthreading for the Pentium-branded desktop CPU SKU. 7th Generation
Coffee Lake 14 nm Coffee Lake has increased the core count. 8th Generation
Ice Lake 10 nm Ice Lake is firstly built on the Sunny Cove microarchitecture. Secondly, It has other features like :

  1. a 50% increase in the size of the L1 data cache,
  2. larger L2 cache,
  3. more microOP cache,
  4. increased 2nd level Thermal Design Power.
  5. Increased core width,
  6. Increment in execution ports (8 to 10),
  7. L1 store bandwidth doubled.
 9th Generation
Comet Lake 10 nm Firstly, it consists of 10th Generation Intel Core processors. They deliver the following features:

  1. improved productivity and stunning entertainment,
  2. Including up to 5.3GHz,
  3. Intel Wiki 6,
  4. Thunderbolt 3 technology,
  5. 4K HDR,
  6. Intelligent System optimization.
 10th Generation
