Poor amd... :|

Core 2 Duo - Core i3 equievelant (i3 is slightly better)

Core 2 Quad/Core 2 Quad Extreme (i5 is slightly better, C2Q/C2QE is better than i3 (IMO)).

Core i7, and i9 soon - just total annhialation!

Nice vid though.

@AmH032uTuBe Yeah i know but i am trustin reviews and they state higher gains lol

[AmH032uTuBe]

@simranjeet36 Hmmh,

Well I've done tests myself and for the equivalent CPU [price/the replacement CPU per model] I've only had roughly the increases I stated. If anything, I've only got perhaps 12%.

I'll kindly give you the benefit of the doubt.

But anyhow, I was just giving a basic example for people who don't know much, I could be highly specific if I felt like it. Hope you understand that. No hating :D

@AmH032uTuBe no if u read reviews those claims are actually met 20% most cases even 30%! and that 13-16% not true at all its way more than that

[AmH032uTuBe]

@simranjeet36 Well Intel claim 20% faster in the 1156 socket compared to the 775 Core series' equivalent.

Also, 20% is what they claim. Numbers from companies are always the peak and "up to" amount. 13-16% is more reasonable.

It depends which i5 you go for, to compare to C2Qs. Don't forget that the only well-known C2Qs are the 66-67 & the extremes. There are a large variety of i5s, which have slightly varying architecture and specifications. I've just covered it simply for people who don't know.

[simranjeet36]

@AmH032uTuBe i3 slightly better than core 2 duo!! are you retarded reviews have shown they are significantly faster than core 2 duo and core i5 destroys core 2 quad and core i3 is still better than core 2 quad

WHAT IS THIS I DONT EVEN

This doesn;t make sense, why would you make your product lineup so difficult to understand?

[brutalmajor]

Excelent!!! I love Intel...

@bitchskiller yes

@alelakes Get a normal computer and get i7 950 with radeon 6970 next month :) and maybe some 2000 MHz RAMs :p

Hi! I want to buy a laptop with an i3 or i5 proccesor and 6GB of RAM. Do you think intel HD Integrated Graphics is enough to support blu-ray 1080p video streaming to my full HD TV? or should I get a separate graphics card? Thank you.
