Central processing unit is one of the most important components of your PC. The processor you choose will determine the speed, convenience and of course the price of your PC. The higher the CPU clock speed the faster your PC’s performance too. Processor with 3.46GHz Core i5-670 course and beat faster 2.93GHz Core I3-530, to get more speed, of course you needs to spend more money. Another thing to consider in the Processor is the size of the cache, the higher the better. I3 and i5 has a 4MB cache, while the Core i7 has a 6MB or 8MB of cache.
Compact PCs and multiple devices all-in-one, usually have a weak processor, such as a netbook or notebook. But there are advantages, notebook or netbook Machine processor weaker, has a smaller form that is not too hot when used, making it ideal for small machines. PC with Atom processor used is not optimal for high-level work such as editing video, high-end gaming, graphic design, but enough used for word processing.
Desktop with Intel Core i3 and i5 are preferred because they offer a dual-core CPU performance with affordable price. With a weaker power, sales and Cast i3 i5 cheaper too. Quad-core, 6-core processors and i7 have targets users who need a hard-working processor. If you play games or edit high-end audio and video, you will get to use the Core i7.
Currently Desktop PC using Intel or AMD processor. You can choose between the two, although this time more Intel dominates the market but AMD has a price dual-core, quad-core, and six-core chips cheaper. If you are looking for quad-core performance with a limited budget, you need to look AMD’s first sale price, because it is generally cheaper.

Intel’s been a while releasing a new processor in the Intel Core i7, then followed by I5 and I3. Later Intel will not use core 2 duo and core 2 quad brands, while the Pentium and Celeron brand will be retained. Continue centrino brand if they would use in their products based on Wifi and Wimax.

Then what is the difference of these three new products? The point is still the core intended for Entry Level I3, I5 core for mid-level, if core i7 for the High Level. Keep all three will be planted on desktops and notebooks. In addition, i5 and i7 core processors to adopt the “Intel Turbo Mode Technology” which features will turn off unused cores when processing applications that require only a single thread, while processing a single application thread, the processor will overlook the flow of data threads that run on it so that faster processing, while if the processing application is not a single thread, these cores will live again.

Here are more details about the third description of this product:

Intel Core i7

Core i7 is the first processor with technology “Nehalem”. Nehalem uses a new platform that really different from previous generations. One is to integrate MCH chipset directly on the processor, not the motherboard. Nehalem also replace the function of the FSB became QPI (Quick Path Interconnect) which is more revolutionary.

Intel Core i5
If Bloomfield is the codename for Core i7, the Lynnfield is the codename for I5. I5 is the value of the Core i7 series that will run on Intel’s new socket is LGA-1156 socket. Interested when I heard the word value? Exactly! Core i5 will be marketed at a price of about U.S. $ 186.

The advantage of this is embedded I5 Northbridge chipset functions at the core processor (known as the MCH on the motherboard). So the motherboard Core i5 which will use the Intel P55 chipset (mainstream class) will look vacant without the presence of Northbridge chipsets. If you use a Core i7 Triple Channel DDR 3, then the Core i5 uses only Dual Channel DDR 3. The use of power is also reduced to 95 Watts. P55 chipset supports Triple Graphic Cards (3x) with 1 × 16 PCI-E slots and 2 × 8 PCI-E slots. In I5 cache remains the same, namely 8 MB L3 cache.

Intel also launched a Clarksfield, Core i5 mobile version is intended for notebooks. Socket to be used is mPGA-989 and the power required is quite small in the amount of 45-55 Watts.

Intel Core I3
Intel Core I3 is a variant of the value compared to two other brothers. This processor will integrate the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) Graphics On-board inside the processor. Graphics capabilities with Intel GMA claimed on G45 chipset. In addition, i3 will use hybrid manufacturing, the core processor with 32nm, while the memory controller / graphics using 45nm. I3 product code is “Arrandale”.

Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) may only compete in the market of computer processors. However, both can be along in the market of smartphones and mobile devices. Processor manufacturer AMD is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, USA announced that it supports the project MeeGo.

MeeGo is an open source operating system for mobile devices that we expect will be adopted by makers of mobile devices in the future. We are pleased to provide resources to support such industry cooperation MeeGo and expect that this operating system will help drive our plans to expand to create a wider market opportunities for accelerated processing unit that we have prepared.

Please note that MeeGo is an open source project initiated by Intel and Nokia since early this year. He is a combination of the Nokia with the Maemo project at Intel’s Moblin. The project is based on Linux as an open source platform. Platform was developed extensive than smartphones, netbooks, tablets, entertainment systems in vehicles, and other mobile devices. The first commercial product that uses MeeGo expected to be out on the market most rapidly at the end of this year or early 2011.
