Generation gameĮach generation of Core chips has its own code name, such as Sandy Bridge, Haswell, and Skylake. Intel usually brings out a new generation of processors every 12-18 months, and the Core range is now in its seventh generation. You also have to look beyond the branding, because today’s Core chips are different from last year’s. This is usually a fair reflection of current performance per watt of power used, but it doesn’t tell you the raw performance. There have been cheap Intel Pentium chips that were faster than Core i7’s! Intel uses BMW-style branding, where the Core i3, i5 and i7 are marketed as good/better/best. Is there any chance of you writing an article that focuses on processors? I appreciate that PCs are more than just processors, but I would find it useful. I had no idea the Core i3-6100 you mentioned last week is faster than some of the slower i5 chips.
