Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 Processors
ADVERTISEMENTSIf you are going to buy PC or Laptop you might have question about latest Intel core i2, i3, i5 and i7Â processors. Intel recently this year introduced different Core i processors into the market. We are also eager to know about new Intel core i3, i5 and i7 processors, we like to share our views about the new processors here.
Core 2 Duo Vs Core i3 Processor
Core 2 Duo range could handle just one processing thread at a time where as core i3 processors can handle hyper threading which allows Core i3 to run two processing threads simultaneously on each core allowing it to perform four things at once, instead of the usual two threads.

Intel Core processors comes for different purposes.
1. Desktop Processors
2. Mobile Processors
1. Desktop Processor
| Desktop Processor | Cores | Threads | Turbo |
| Intel Core i7 | 6 | 12 | Yes |
| Intel Core i5 | 2 or 4 | 4 | Yes |
| Intel Core i3 | 2 or 4 | 4 | No |
2. Mobile Processor
| Mobile Processor | Cores | Threads | Turbo |
| Intel Core i7 | 2 or 4 | 4 or 8 | Yes |
| Intel Core i5 | 2 or 4 | 4 | Yes |
| Intel Core i3 | 2 or 4 | 4 | No |
Note : Intel Core i7 980x processor is the fastest and latest processor in the Intel Core processor family. Which works in 6 cores and handles 12 threads, also supports HD graphics for games. This Intel Core i7 980x processor is known as the world’s fastest desktop processor.

the difference?
i3
-32nm
-integrated graphics
-PCI-e 2.0 controller, couple of em come with 2X8 along with da 1X16 support
-2channel integrated memory controller
-hyper threading
core 2 duo
-65,45nm (needs more power n generates more heat)
-of course no concept of integrated graphics
-no PCI-E controller
-no memory controller
-no HT
