Intel i3,i5,i7; What's the Difference?

FXEC, Tirunelveli | 05 Aug,2022

The significant difference between i3,i5 and i7 processor is that i3 processor have dual core and i5&i7 processors have quad core . In terms of usage , i3 is more sufficient for a casual user who surfs the internet , plays a few games and checks mail . Whereas with i5 is enough for all those listed above and also for playing high end games . i7 outweighs both i3 and i5 processors. With regard to cost , the i3 is a dual core processor with hyperthreading in it which allows the user to act like a quad core and is comparitively the cheapest processor . Whereas i5 is a mid-range processor and are the quad core processors which usually costs around 180 - 220 dollars . This is considered one of the best processors for a budget gamer . And i7 are hyperthreaded processors with more than 4 cores and are commonly used by people doing CPU demanding tasks which costs around 300 to 1000 dollars .

To explain better I've got an example with cars . i3 processors are like budget friendly cars for instance wagonr , Alto etc .. these cars comes with the weakest engines but they also provide most mileage for the same fuel amount . They come under the cheapest section and are best suited for travelling daily for nearby places only but not for long drives or to carry heavy load . Similarly i3 processors are the weakest, they're the most battery friendly and are suitable for doing simpler tasks only like web surfing , MS Office etc..

Whereas i5 processors are like mid-range cars like Skoda rapid , Honda City etc ..These cars are almost double to quadruple in price as compared to mini cars. They can be used inside the city as well as for long rides easily. Similarly i5 processors are very good processors for most of the things. They're more powerful but less are less battery friendly. They're more than enough for any home or office usage.

And i7 processors are like the luxury cars or high performance cars like Lamborghini,bmw,audi,etc thus they're like creamy layer among all the non-server processors. They're costliest. They're most powerful. They can support any rig to its full potential.
