This article will discuss the most current Intel processors. The rating of their performance, given below, will indicate that this or that model belongs to a certain niche in the semiconductor chip market.
Celeron is Intel's lowest performing desktop processor. The rating of their performance indicates that they are perfect only for use in office computing systems that can solve only the simplest tasks: text and spreadsheets, browsing websites, playing multimedia and reading books in electronic form.
There are 3 models in this chip family: G3930T, G3930 and G3950. The key difference between the two is the value of the clock frequency. The youngest model operates at 2.7 GHz, the average at 2 GHz and the oldest at 3.0 GHz. Among other features of this series of CPUs, it is necessary to note the presence of 2 computing modules and a third-level cache memory of 2 MB. The price for younger models is $ 42, and for the older one - 52.
Average level
Pentium and Core i3 are average processors and cost Intel processors. The rating of these semiconductor solutions indicates their similar affiliation. Pentium chips are labeled G45XX or G46XX. Their initial clock frequency is 2.9 GHz, and the maximum is 3.7 GHz. Higher performance compared to Celeron series CPUs is provided by increased clock speed, increased third-level cache up to 3 MB and support for NT technology.
The presence of the latter allows these chips to process software in 4 streams. The Core i3 chips are designated 71XX and 73XX. The difference from the younger family in this case is the level 3 cache, which is 4 MB.
High performance chips
The high -performance Intel processor core consists of four physical code processing units. The i5 chips and, of course, i7 belong to this CPU family. In the first case, semiconductor solutions are labeled 7400, 7500 and 7600. The cache at the third level is 6 MB. TurboBust support is also implemented, due to which the frequency of the chip is dynamically regulated. The difference between i7 and i5 is the increased cache at the third level up to 8 MB and NT support. That is, i7 is able to work with program code in 8 threads. As a result, the latest CPU family in the tests has a 15 percent increase in performance.
Server Products
Any Intel Xeon processor is designed to work as part of a server computing system. Current modifications of this chip family are designated E12XX-v5. Although they use exactly the same LGA1151 socket as the younger models, they can not be installed in ordinary motherboards.
The C232 and C236 chipsets were released for them, and only in conjunction with them, such chips are able to work normally. The number of threads they have is 8, and the cache of the third level is 8 MB. The graphics core, unlike all the younger CPU models for desktop systems, is missing.
Summary
This material discusses all the most current Intel processors. Their performance rating is shown in the table below. It also indicates belonging to a certain niche market for stationary computers. So, we present to your attention the distribution of Intel processor devices by market segments
