We do more than just show useless benchmarks

Intel Core i3, i5, i7, and i9 CPUs explained

Even though they've been on the market for over a decade, Intel's Core lineup—Core i7, Core i5, and Core i3 processors—still feels relatively young. Here we'll review the processors, explain the technologies behind them, look at Intel's philosophy, and help you decide which processor you should buy.

Rather than going the traditional processor comparison route of showing you a bunch of benchmarks, gaming performance specs, etc., this review will focus on explaining the 'core' of Intel's core CPU lineup, which also includes the new Core i9 family.

While benchmarks are useful for hardcore gamers, they are pretty much useless for the average computer user. This guide should help you choose a computer with a good processor for your needs, without having to know what "3DMark" is.
