This material will give a performance rating of the processors of the leading manufacturer of these products - Intel. This company occupies a dominant position in this high-tech market; its semiconductor solutions can be found in almost all of its segments.
Why Intel?
As noted earlier, Intel silicon chips are at the heart of most electronic devices. Starting with smartphones and tablets, continuing with netbooks, ultrabooks and laptops and ending with productive personal computers - most of this technology is based on the semiconductor products of this leading manufacturer. Therefore, the performance rating of Intel processors as accurately as possible for each of the segments of this large market will determine the most optimal technical specifications. It is precisely on them that Intel competitors are guided and due to this they are trying to catch up with the leading manufacturer of semiconductor products.
Mobile Gadget Segment
The performance rating of Intel-based smartphone processors includes the latest ATOM series devices. The composition of this line includes X3, X5 and X7. The first semiconductor solutions are the least productive in this case, and C3405 and C3445 are included in this model range.
Their technical parameters are identical: 4 computing modules, a frequency range of 1.2-1.4 GHz, a cache memory of 1 MB and production technology according to 28 nm standards. The key difference between these two semiconductor products is that the first one is designed for use as part of tablets and does not have a mobile communication module, and the second one is designed for the smartphone market and is equipped with a cellular transceiver. The X5 line also includes two CPU models: Z8300 and Z8500. They also have 4 code processing units, but these crystals are already manufactured according to the 14 nm standards, equipped with a large cache volume of 2 MB and the clock frequencies for the first of them are in the range 1.44-1.84 GHz, and the second - 1.44 -2.24 GHz.
The flagship included in the X7 line, in this case one - Z8700. Its characteristics are almost identical to the X5. The difference lies only in the clock frequencies - 1.6-2.4 GHz. The main technical specifications of this processor family are given in the table below.
Features of the processor family for smartphones and tablets
Chip family | CPU model | Frequency, GHz | Cache, Mb | The number of cores, pieces | Technology, nm |
X3 | S3405 | 1.2-1.4GHz | one | four | 28 |
C3445 |
X5 | Z8300 | 1.44-1.84 | 2 | fourteen |
Z8500 | 1.44-2.24 |
X7 | Z8700 | 1.6-2.4 |
Laptop niche
The Intel processor performance rating for laptops within the 7th generation Core architecture is as follows:
The segment of office class solutions in this case is occupied by Celeron CPUs . Maximum autonomy and minimum speed, which is only enough for office applications, web surfing and other undemanding tasks, in this case come to the fore. The composition of this line includes two CPU models - N3350 and N3450. The key difference between the two is the number of computing units. The first chip has only 2, and the second - 4. Accordingly, in the second case, the performance will be slightly better.
Entry-level laptops are based on the Pentium CPU line , which so far consists of 1 chip - the N4200. The improved technical specifications of this processor allow it to demonstrate higher performance. As a result, this chip even allows you to run some toys with the minimum requirements for hardware specifications.
Mid-range mobile computing systems are based on the Core i3 CPU line . As in the previous case, only one model belongs to this family of processor devices - 7100 U. Improved technical parameters in comparison with previous chips and the presence of NT technology can significantly increase productivity, in this case, almost all toys can be launched. The exception in this case are only those that put forward the most stringent requirements for the microprocessor architecture.
The most productive laptops are based on i5 and i7 chips . Excellent technical parameters and phenomenal performance allow the owners of such computers to solve any problems. Including even the freshest and most demanding toys in this case will go without any problems. The data of the CPU family is currently represented by such models: 7200 U and 7Y54 for i5 and 7500U and 7Y75 for i7, respectively.
Desktops
The processor performance rating for desktop computing systems is a lot of what duplicates the previously given for laptops. Only if in the previous case we were talking about the 7th generation of chips, then in this case the 6th comes to the fore. The update of the CPU lineup in this case is scheduled for January 2017. As a result, the rating currently has the following form:
Office solutions are occupied by Celeron solutions ( G3900 and G3920 models). There are no cardinal differences between them. Only in the latter case, the clock frequency was slightly increased from 2.8 GHz to 2.9 GHz. Otherwise, these are excellent chips for creating an office computing system.
In this case, the Pentium CPUs ( G4400, G4500 and G4520 models) also occupy the initial level . The level of performance they have is almost identical. These chips are great for basic gaming systems. But in this case, the owner will have to refuse to launch the most demanding toys, which, due to insufficient hardware specifications, will not work on such a PC.
The average level, as in the case of laptops, is full of Core i3 CPUs . Their models are 6100, 6300 and 6320. Their performance is more than enough for comfortable gameplay in any modern game. The main factor that increases productivity is the availability of NT technology and an increase in the flow of processing program code from 2 to 4.
The processor performance rating from Intel for desktops will not be complete if we disregard the i5 and i7 series CPUs. They provide phenomenal performance and allow you to solve all the problems that are currently possible. Models 6400, 6500 and 6600 - for the i5 line , 6700 - for the i7 line .
Summary
As part of this material, the current processor performance rating from Intel 's leading semiconductor product manufacturer was cited . With it, you can determine the ownership of the device and find out a list of tasks that can be solved with its help.
