What is a Core i3, Core i5, or Core i7 as Fast As Possible

What the heck is the difference between a Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7?? What do these terms mean?

Buy Intel CPU

Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.

i3 is fast. i5 is faster. i7 is fastest. Let us move on now.

i9: I'm boutta end this mans whole career.

I3 is hot, i5 is hotter, i7 is a microwave and i9 will burn your whole wallet

[Venny-jvwn]

In summary: The i3 is low-end, i5 is mid-range, i7 is high-end and i9 is ultra-end. The i7 and also the i9 are the most powerful, but they need very good ventilation.

before watching video: i knew higher number is better, after watching video: i knew higher number is better..

Google: “So, I see you’re obsessed with computers. Wanna buy this one?”

Linus is really good at explaining things so that other people like himself who struggle with basic concepts can have a vague understanding

[descoiatorul]

Those hands, if properly harnessed, could power a small town.

Add to this that a newer generation i5 can easily outperform an older i7 and all this is as clear as mud!

Linus has come a LOONG way both in maturity of his presentations, his style physical and intellectual. He's consistently getting better and better. It's nuts.

[g.m.]

informative and entertaining it!! You make learning this stuff not get boring. Thanks!

"I love Intel"
That aged poorly.

Moral of the story:

The more $$$ on the PC the more performance on the PC

I have an I7 2nd generation - 8gb RAM Sony Vaio from 2013. It's lighting fast to this day and it works as fast today as it did when I bought it 8 years ago. Worth every penny.

The clock speed of Intel CPUs is/was supposed to equate roughly to the clock speed of an AMD Athlon thunderbird processor or at least I’m quite sure this was the case with earlier Intel CPUs so maybe it changed recently?

2014: Intel vs Intel

2017: AMD vs Intel

2020: AMD vs AMD

[Mattparks]

i3: Basic Desktop
i5: Gaming PC
i7: Works Station
AMD FX-8320: Everything on that list under $160

Finally! An answer that makes sense to the novice! (at least to one who wants to learn) What I got was Core i3 was your basic model with limited options, low buck and best gas mileage. Core i5 is a has a more luxuries right from the factory, generally handles better on the information freeway, has a turbo added on for a burst of speed if you need to crunch some big numbers and can be ordered with a bunch of extras that will up the price. Core i7 is the big engine that was imagined for use on the German Autobahn. Even in its basic configuration it is a power hungry beast and is always looking at you to add more ways to try and reach that imaginary top speed of the internet highway! In business mode it will go though a battery in an 65 minutes all the while urging you to check out the gamer on that site that is kicking ass now that you left at 4:30 am this morning! 😂😂

One thing worth noting is desktop processors are significantly more faster than equivalent laptop versions. Infact my i3 9100f benchmarks about 20% better than the lastest i7-10510U which is Found in Many laptops.

[dipintamang]

i5 is higher than the i3. i7 is higher than both. But the highest thing in this video is this dude's voice.
