AMD Processor Guide below in case you want to learn about that one too, made as per your request 😊
czcams.com/video/LydUccOKJng/video.html
I was going to ask for this. I got tired of the confusion with intel and went amd.
Bro i wanted to if i have two ram both 8gb total 16gb. slot one is solded ram is rx16 and other is changeable (but its allso rx16). so if i remove other and put rx8 . of same dd5 4800mah. will it work? allso speed will incresse? is it a good idea?
AMD is so confusing lol
Very well explained and I guess most people can understand
Hands down 15 for my home office use.
Same thing with graphics cards will be awesome
For sure I’ll look into it!
Pls do the 30 series gpu
@@SoulOfTech
I second that request...
Even though GPUs are going to be waay more convoluted, you would be the one to do it if its possible...

@@SoulOfTechintegrated ones preferably
@@SoulOfTech And cover AMD this time.
I bought the i7-12700k, Im really happy with that CPU, I use it for college work like 3-modeling in a CAD program and running simulations. It handles games also really well and Im pretty confident that I dont have to upgrade for the next 8-10 years
Hello bro, I am planning to buy i5-12600k, is it good enough to handle CAD software ?
@@bhaveshartsy7805 yeah totally, you have 10 cores and hyper threading on the P-cores so you have effectively 16 threads. You have a bit less cache however but I doubt that would be a problem. If you put in a bit more money, you could also get the i5-13600k, which is actually better then mine
@@alobeat7665 Yeah, I have been thinking about it too. I must have a Z series Mobo for that as per the research I did. because I am not getting a GPU now, I will save and then buy it until then it's already capable CPU. talking about i5-13600k
@@bhaveshartsy7805 yeah you could either use a Z690 or Z790 motherboard both of them have the LGA 1700 socket, but the 13th gen CPUs are better supported on the Z790 motherboards
Great to hear!
This is why I always consult a CPU hierarchy chart and CPU performance/price ratio chart before buying. I pick a budget, representing the quality I'm looking for, and the follow down from the top to find the first CPU that meets that budget on the performance/price ratio chart. Then I use the hierarchy chart to compare CPUs.
Same thing for GPUs.
thanks, i'm bout to use that strategy to pick a gpu right now
Wish it could just be "Intel Processor 1", "Intel Processor 2" with budget friendly versions like "Intel Processor 2-lite" and higher end ones named "Intel Processor 2-Max"
my first laptop was an aspire with a pentium n3700 (acquired in 2015), it lasted 7 years with real rough use, i had to change the battery, ram, hdd, keyboard and the touchscreen before worrying of the processor.
it still works btw
The reason for the complexity, is there are quite a few important metrics, that aren’t always easy to fit into specific needs without offering a large variety of options to cover the various needs. Cores, clock speed, cache, power needs, hyperthreading, and etc, are all the most metrics that you don’t always need every metric to be high. Some people need more cores but slower cores are more than sufficient. Or maybe vice versa. Someone only has a workload that can use a single core, so they would benefit from the speed of that core instead of extra cores. Because of this, their model# looks like a weird combo of digits and #s but if you learn how to decode it, it starts to make a lot of sense. I honestly don’t think there is any best way to do this, I think it’s ok.
Today my search is over!! The most simplest explanation I could ever find! Incredible!!
Glad to be of help!
Thank you for this video. It's quite informative and you've presented the material in an easy-to-understand manner.
Glad I could help!
Nicely done. Clearly explained. Well said! Cheers!
Thank you 😊
I've built my own systems for many years. I've always gone with the i7 or i9 of the series. I've also always maxed out the ram. These systems are always good for 7 to 9 years of use.
If you use good quality parts, they last.
I have core 2 duo and played high end games and running heavy 3D softwares.. It's been 14 years and still the processor runs like butter.
My i3 first gen runs smooth as ever. I recently bought a core 2 duo laptop which is 15 year old and installed latest fedora in it. It is really smooth and I can do whatever online and office things I want easily
@@kdreamscosmos4279 you sure ? can i know which 3D software and do you have any GPU ?
@bhaveshartsy7805 sure... I purchased an HP cpu with core 2 duo with 2 gb ram in 2009 and upgraded msi nvidia gtx 550ti and corsair 500 power supply and 2 gb ram in 2011.
Used softwares like Autodesk Maya, 3ds max, houdini, zbrush, realflow, nuke, unreal engine 3 blender wasn't good at that time.
Played games- gta v, assassin's creed black flag, witcher 3, crysis 3 and many more.
@@kdreamscosmos4279 Do you still use that build, now the software are kind of heavy and doing something which takes a lot of CPU power will slow you down.
I have a Laptop i5 4200u with 1 gb AMD graphics and 4 GB RAM, it has given me hard times when I created my artworks and also when I edited the video, also using 3d software as well. I don't give too much load on that now.
I think the one thing you could have mentioned is breaking down what the model # means like how a 12600k , the 12 indicates generation 600 is the relative performance and the k means if it can be overclocked and if it has onboard video capabilities.
k models are desktop only
@@bulkyiest Because the cooling on laptops is too shitty to even cool a not overclocked chip sometimes.
Thank you for how simple this tutorial was!
Glad it was helpful!
Never get anything below i5 CPUs. Quality > random consumption.
Also, check if it is a "U" series. That series is focused on battery life efficiency. "H" series is all about max performance. HX for performance on steroids.
I agree that i5 is the sweet spot for many people for sure!
Though "H" series is often overkill and can run too hot on some machines. The "P" series chips are also a decent balance between H and U.
I have an i3-12100, i5-12400, and an R5 5600X. When paired with a similar GPU, it's hard to tell their performance apart. That makes the i3-12100 my darling of the three. I have both i3 and i5 mostly for gaming while the R5 is geared for productivity.
I heard the i3-12100 is basically last generations i5
more number means more cores
And it helps in only multi tasking .
i3 and i9 have same performance if you are playing same game without any process in background.
I switched from my old i7 that i bought 2012 or 2013 maybe, to an i3-12100 recently mainly because i read it has the best price-performance ratio and also it need only consumes like 50% of the power the i7 needed.
Since i also mostly play just mobile games via emulator in the last years and have to save money, that was a good move i guess.
I also run i3-12100,paired with rtx 3070 and ddr4 memory,runs practically all games i own,many of them with ultra settings.I think raytracing would be where it starts struggling,at least thats what i noticed with MetroExodus.
@@beldin2987 You can play many games on this, depending on the graphics card possibly everything. Some older games are playable without a dedicated graphics card.
Thank you for the explanation!!
You bet!
the i5 is actually insane. i used to use an i5 3rd gen in 2022 and it worked surprisingly well. i used it for gaming, and it worked pretty great
fr
What games are you playing because no way a 10 year old i5 is capable of playing modern tripple A games
Bro please help.. I just bought HP Intel core i5 4200m.. can it play GTA v on low graphics??
hmm not really sure, never really played gtav before but im sure it would run atleast ok@@emmanuelomosuyi3039
wait actually that probably wont be ok bc it only has 2 cores soo sorry but still check@@emmanuelomosuyi3039
The up to date i3s in 12th and 13th gen are just as powerful as some (if not few) yesteryear i5s and i7s and competes with some Ryzen 5 CPUs. So they could handle a little more multitasking and run more games better than the standard or older gen i3s. I know this for a fact especially since my current laptop has the Core i3-1215U inside it.
Glad to hear that is the case!
Which generation..
@@preetomdas3886 12th Gen Alder Lake
"Competes with Ryzen 5", this isn't correct. The Ryzen 5 always competes with the equivalent generation/year i5 processor. Ryzen 3 processors were created to compete directly with i3. Also, Ryzens are similar in that a newer gen i3 can sometimes be faster than yesteryear Ryzen 5 or 7's, but never the equivalent generation.
@@ChildrenOfDesire I was referring to the older gen Ryzen 5s that uses up to Zen 2 architect that the latest i3s could compete. Although i agree with you said, you still need to take into consideration the architect of the chips. Just remember, Intel and AMD are changing architect of their chips every year. So any new architect of latest chips can trounce chips with older architect, whether of the same brand and/or regardless a competing brand. Sites like notebookcheck and nanoreview confirms that, if you put competing chips to compare with their benchmark scores. Hence the reason why i said the i3s of the later gens are as fast as i5/i7s and maybe Ryzen 5s, but of older gens. There's even the comparison between the i3-1215U and Ryzen 5 5500U when both these chips perform almost similar in terms of IPC speed.
Tks so much for explaining in detail the differences between the icores!
Happy to help!
Great video....simple, practical, and easy to understand for those of us that know some things, but not experts on any of this. I have a 12 year old desktop with Intel Core i7 CPU that cannot be upgraded to Win11. It is running slower and slower by the day. I recently purchased a new desktop with Core i7 13700 CPU with 16 cores, running Win11, hopefully that will last a few years. Now working through issues of migrating my old PC onto my new PC.
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with the migration!
I know I'm late here, but I did similar work with my 2011 Probook 4430s laptop.
It came from the factory with Win7, an i5, and 8 gb of ram and I abused that thing gaming for years. What ended up slowing her down was the Hard Disc getting old. That may very well be the case for you too, especially if it is the original.
I went through mine a few months ago and upgraded to an i7, 16 gb of ram, new bluetooth/wifi card, and a brand new SSD to replace the old HDD. All of it totalled up to about 100$. That sucker boots up in seconds now and runs like it just came off the assembly line in 2011. Still doesn't change the fact she won't make it to Win11, but I can get a few more years out of her pretty easily now for super cheap. That's the beauty of obsolete parts. You can get flagship parts that are no longer relevant for very low prices. Cutting-edge parts, 10 years ago.
This was very helpful, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Celeron: Basic Task & Multi Media
Pentium: Work (School, Office, Business etc)
i5: Gaming
Good info and the best thing is that your accent is so clear; that is rarely seen.
Glad you think so!
Very informative video but I feel like it might be useful to mention the prices of the cpus on their own as well as in prebuilt systems. For example, you said an i3's price range varies between 300 and 450 but you can purchase the newest i3, the 13100/F for 118-140 USD when not in a prebuild. Other than that, this was a very useful video, especially for people who don't know as much about processors.
Good point! Ill keep that in mind for future intel related guides. Thanks for watching!
@@pizzacrafter60 Uhh... yeah, I know that. I never mentioned anything about cores though?
@@pizzacrafter60current Gen i3 (13th Gen) actually has up to 8 cores 😅
Current Gen pentium up to 5 cores.
Nice Video. Very informative. I was aware that Celeron is the low end, but I was not sure Pentium was still available nor how it compares. The only thing I was sure of is that for business use, computers should at least have an i3 CPU
Glad I could help!
This is helpful. Well explained and easy to understand. I hope you'll make a video about the i5 core only, and you'll tackle the apps and photo editing apps that the i5 core would offer and the best ones to use.
Thanks for watching. I don't have any plans to make a stand alone i5 video but ill be sure to come back to this comment when I do!
Yup, we need another video about the numbers after iX :)
This was very informative. I am a programmer and decided to buy a i7 processor.
Glad to hear!
i7 bit of overkill for programming
@@oldguy3525Have you ever tried compiling firefox?

Great breakdown. What chip size would u recommend for a box thats sole use case is to be a sql / mysql server ?
You just cleared a whole world of confusion for me. Thanks a load.
You are most welcome
I remember in 2014 when I went from a 2006 pentium d system to a brand new at the time core i3 system. It was definitely a big jump. Was faster. Ran much cooler and quieter. Etc. it did everything I needed at the time and until 2019 when I upgraded. I have no doubt I could still use it today without issue
Amazing work!
Glad you think so!
I agree with your idea of not really taking i9 into consideration unless you are required to have it. I have seen PC builds with i9 which gets bottle-necked and its base budget increases to accommodate this beast of a chip. I did say go with i5. And if you want a bit more edge and want a longer future proofing go for the i7.
Hi! Is the i7 1355u good enough for multi-tasking and video editing? Or should I go for i5 P series instead? Thank you!
P series will generally be better due to the higher wattage utilization.
thnx, simple and clear !
Glad you think so!
Excellent video. Exactly what I am looking for.

Glad to hear that!
My son has an i7 3770k OC @ 4.6 GHz and my daughter has an i7 2600k OC @ 4.4 GHz (both with just single fan AIOs for cooling) and they both still rip. They are not going to run new AAA games on ultra or anything, but for being THAT old (cheap) and STILL be a viable option for 1080p gaming is amazing. I don't have anything against team red (I have a Ryzen 3700X), both are now knocking it out of the park as far as future-proofing.
Agreed. I've been running an i7-3770k with a slight OC & Corsair AIO on an ASUS Z77 Sabertooth mobo since 2013.... still runs great, rock solid, and since I'm ready to migrate to a new system in two weeks, I'll pass this on to my son.
@@eskieman3948I ran a very similar configuration for my first desktop, 3770k, sabertooth z77, 280mm Corsair aio, definitely a solid system for its age, I used to run new AAA games at high in 2020 with that and it was perfectly playable. Did end up having to upgrade as it was starting to get weak for my heavy workloads, started having thermal throttling issues, and the GTX 970 I had was having issues with random crashing, went with a 12700K and a 3070 and it’s great, will probably several last years to come
Super helpful ! Thanks !!

This is very informative. This should help me find the right laptop. Thank you.
Glad I could help
WOW. What took me so long to find this. You are absolutely right it used to be so simple to identify CPU's, this includes AMD also. Thanks for the breakdown. You earned a like/sub for this content.
Thank you!
You should add the generation tho. Also not all cores are the same, i.e. low power i7s will have plenty of E-cores, but not P-cores and will be way less powerful than even a last gen i5 with 2 or 4 P cores. The proposition there is that it's hella power efficient, it's incredibly powerful for the energy used HOWEVER if you are after just performance you don't care about it.
That's what's most difficult nowadays. The neat little marketing boxes end up just being confusing.
I'm looking for the right processor for video editing and DAW (Davinci, OBS, Reaper). Could also use a recommendation on GPU.
I have an i5- 3570K from 2012 thats still kickin! Running valorant fine with my 1650 lol. I need to upgrade though, its about time
K series chips have amazing long term pay off
Quad core i5 laptop (MacBook Pro) and quad core i7 desktop (iMac 5K)... still going strong after 6+ years running Adobe Photoshop for my photography needs. While processors have gotten complex, I'm so glad the days of having to upgrade every year are gone. So much easier to justify the expense now since they last way longer.

It would be interesting to get info about how the iX processor compare over the years like if a 3 year old i7 compares to a new i5
Obviously the newer i5 will outperform a 3 year old i7-10xxxH processor.

I have owned laptop with a Celaron, two laptops with i5, an i7, and my latest being an i9 workstation. In my experience the Intel Celaron and Intel i5 seemed to have a lot of latency, or were underpowered when running most applications at the same time as the Internet browser. When I purchased my first i7, many of these problems seemed to resolve even while 3D gaming. Unbelievable excellent and informative video! A review of gaming and design GPUs would be excellent!
Thank you for this video.. may i ask, if iwant to edit 4k videos that are atleast 1hour long in premier pro..what are the minimum specs i can go for when getting a laptop..thank you
if you are on an extreme budget you could get away with an i3/8gb. However I would advice getting an i5/16gb for optimal performance.

min 8:19 summary table w/# of cores per each chip. thanks
I think a pentium or an i3 would do what I need but I would be more comfortable on an i5 or more. But I’m stuck on a celeron in my laptop 😭
i9 10850K. I built the system in Feb of 2021 for race and flight simulators. It's performed beautifully.
You should distinguish betwee cores and threads. Just look up the CPU at passmark and then decide. Any value over 5000 is OK.
That is a great suggestion. Tbh I thought about mentioning threads but given the target audience here was anyone who know little to nothing I did not want to overwhelm them. I will likely think about making a part 2 and cover that part in more details too.
@@SoulOfTech On the passmark site you can see the P versus E cores per CPU. A P-core has 2 threads, an E core only 1. A P-core is higher clocked.
Intel numbering system has been troublesome since the start. 8086, 8088, 80286, 80186, 80386, 486, Pentium, etc etc.
I have the impression that all i5's start equally. But after the wire bonding the chip is tested and if one P-core has a fault in the thread switcher, it becomes an E-core.
The first number after 'i5' is the generation, unless that number is a '1'; then the first 2 digits are the generation.
A 3230 is 3rd generation. An 1115 is 11th generation. People should be aware of this trick.

This works as long as you are only considering currently produced stuff. However, some of the best deals these days are in refurbished computers that are from 3 to 10 years old. Comparing today's i3 or even Celeron to an i7 from 7 years ago might be a little more complicated. I'd argue for getting more RAM over a faster or newer processor. Having only 4GBytes of RAM cripple more machines than a slow processor ever did.
Yup, this is why I recently made a video highlighting the difference between CPU generations, see pinned comment or video description.

I have a dell Optiplex7010 i7-3770(what generation is this ? ) what is the best upgrade to processor for using windows 10 or 11 without having to change out motherboard thanks
I’m an architecture student who has a 13th gen intel evo i9 CPU and a Nivida GeForce 4070 GPU (all on a Dell XPS 15 9530 model). Is this a good choice of laptop for me? I’m constantly running Google Chrome, Photoshop, Illustrator, Revit, and even Rhino 8 all at once.
I’ve been thinking on changing my laptop for a while since mine is nearly 10 y.o. and it only has 4gb of ram. I’m a biologist and I’d need a machine able to run excel while using some graphic program specific for the lab, but also some bioinformatics softwares. Would you suggest an i5 or an i7?
Seriously underrated content .but what are the generations on each Intel core(like i7 12th gen or i5 11 gen(
The generation is just a marker of which year the chip was released in. Gen 11 for example was released in 2021, gen 12 in 2022 and gen 13 in 2023. Natraully each generation is more powerful than the last but the diffrence is not always a grand one.
Intro is spot on, Intel needs to rethink who is in their Marketing department and how the market.
I have a i5 10th gen and handles everything I through at it. I have 32 gigs of dd4 2933 ram. Suits my needs with no complaints.
helpful - VERY helpful indeed
Glad to hear it!
Great video. One thing to keep in mind as a _general_ rule is the current year's i5 is equal or better than last year's i7. In other words, you're technically buying last year's performance product.
Yup! This is why I made a video recently covering this topic, you can find in the video description or pinned comment.
Thanks you for information about PC 😊
Most welcome 😊

I think I'll get celeron or pentium for building pcs in the house almost like a thin client.
Ok so… I just bought my pc parts, there coming in soon, and it’s lg1700 chipset on a b660 MAG tomohawk motherboard and I’ve used an i5 and currently using it but for my new pc I’m going to get a 3080 OC edition from ASUS and cpu is something that I’m stuck on getting. Between an i5 and an i9 for streaming and gaming but since im still intermittently understanding how what type of performance each piece brings on the pc im stuck those two versions of cpu. In other words I want a cpu that will benefit me in the long run
Here's a quick summary of each one:
Intel Celeron:
VEGETABLE PROCESSOR, YUCK. No, seriously this thing is traaaaaaash. Like, REALLY? 1.1 GHZ!? I'm trying to watch Techquickie and now I'm buffering on 360p!!!
Intel Pentium:
Yes. This is definitely it. A budget, not-too-weak processor that gets by my everyday tasks and indie games with ease. I recommend this 101%.
Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad:
Maybe a bit too overpowered for it's time. I'd rather use a mid-range pentium than a late 2000's dual core. These are a barren wasteland nowadays.
Intel Core i3:
Don't get me started with the i3. It's decent enough, gets by some old games I'd wanna dust off and can perform moderately tough stuff.
Intel Core i5:
Wow, power huh? This is actually also like the i3 in a way but better for power. I'd use and i5 over an i3 for some harder stuff, maybe if I wanna pursue CZcams full time.
Intel Core i7:
Gaming, gaming, gaming and did I mention gaming? Yes, the i7 is all about gaming. You can do a lot with an i7. I'd use this in any case if I wanted to play Fortnite on 165fps (i dont play it tho)
Intel Core i9:
Very overkill processor. I'd only use for really high end stuff like 8K playback and hyper multitasking.
Intel Atom (bonus):
Bottom of the barrel CPUs. Low clockspeed, low core count and low TDPs, usually under 8 watts. Great in ultra-budget older Windows laptops.
(bonus ii electric boogaloo!) Core 2 Extreme:
Way too expensive nowadays and its Only use is retro gaming PCs. Very overkill for its time.
I have a question. So I have a i5 processor with 16GB of ram and a Nivada RTX GPU. I’m wondering why it can take Forza horizon 5 at full graphics with no issues whatsoever but has to be on very low settings on Forza motorsport when to me there seemts to be no difference between the games on the surface. Which component of my computer needs upgrading?
I just went with one of the best to be sure I had the future covered. 13700k works great so far for me
Good choice!
If the future you have envisioned consists of browsing the internet, and watching CZcams videos then you are assuredly covered.
@@SoulOfTech Would you agree that future-proofing your PC is often unnecessary and can be expensive - That oftentimes it is better to buy a PC that meets your current needs and upgrade it as needed in the future? I am not sure this viewer completely understood your video, and I am doubtful based on their wording that they can truly utilize that chip to the fullest. Have a good day, and thank you for your video - I showed it to my girlfriend who knows very little about computers, as you did a better job explaining this then I could have in twice the time.
There's an asus vivobook with 13th gen i9 (h series) with 16 gb ddr5 and 1 tb ssd for 1500 CAD on best buy. Canada, as of aug, 2023.
Thanks a lot for sharing this!
Although, I wonder where does Intel Atom fit in the list?
Good question! The atom would rank just below the celeron. Its a very basic processor you will usually find in windows tablets and s mode laptops.
Which latest configuration is best for 3D work, video editing job?
If I purchase i9 13900 Can anyone give details for the matching hardware stuff for that processor.
wait for 15th gen intel, they are changing the socket so you will not be able to upgrade your pc afterwards. You can buy a quadro but a 4070, 4080, 4090 or 30 gen cards will be fine. Just make sure they have 24 or atleast 12 gigs of VRAM.
or go with amd
current using i5 11th gen rn just doing illustrations and light photo/video editing hopin this could help me buy myself an i9 in the future!
Awesome!
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
Hey there and thanks for your video. I had a quick question to ask though. I live in UK and Im currently contemplating between two laptops one with intel core i5 (10 core) vs another intel core i5 (quad-core) !
The price difference is around £220 though so I was wondering if the extra 6 core worth the additional cost and if I go for the cheaper one, where there 6 core shortage is gonna hit me the hardest ?😆 thanks mate
My new laptop has a 13th Gen i7 --U chip. My old Latitude E5540, 2013 model, still is ok, but there are keyboard keys starting to go bye bye. It is still quite viable,, but better to switch before disaster strikes rather than later. During Black Friday deals, I got what I think was a pretty good deal. 65% off +-
How do you do -strikeout- ? Never mind. LOL
