Intel's Core i5 and Core i7 PC processors are as quick as they come. But thanks to Intel's confusing branding scheme, it's not always obvious what the labels Core i5 and i7 really mean.
Intel's 12th Gen Alder Lake processors have launched and we have gotten a look at their i5 and i9 models. These chips are gaming monsters. Here's our full review.
With Alder Lake, Intel has delivered one of the most exciting and game-changing CPU releases in a long while, and the Intel i5-12600K CPU is proving to be the new mid-range CPU to beat going forward.
Daily Video Game writes: "The online retailer Amazon is offering up to 34% off on Intel Core i7-9700K and Intel Core i9-10850K processors right now! If you need a new processor, make sure to take advantage of these deals now!"
For gaming, an i5 760 is way more than enough. For multithreaded apps an i7 950 is great, takes advantage of hyperthreading and triple channel memory.
