What's the main difference between Intel processor generations? Ask Question. Asked 10 years, 3 months ago. Active 4 years, 11 months ago. Viewed k times. Improve this question. Hennes Diogo Diogo Once upon a time, a lot; these days, barely anything.
At one time, manufacturers and developers would hold off on new releases until there was a significant improvement. They would consolidate feature- and performance-enhancements, bug-fixes, etc.
With software, it is annoying because you get a buggy, incomplete product that slowly gets better over time, but with hardware, it is damn annoying because it costs a lot to update every month.
It's called the "bleeding edge" for a reason, lol. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Example All in all the term is not officially connoted to the media. Improve this answer. A Dwarf A Dwarf Here is a comparison of the i3: Intel introduced the 1st generation Core i3 processors in and the 2nd generation Core i3 processors in KCotreau KCotreau So actually 2nd genaration used to be better than 1st generation???
Can we assume this for all processor families? Well, I would clearly assume that Intel would, or any manufacturer would not knowingly take steps backward. Does it guarantee it, no, but it is probably a safe assumption that 2nd generation is better than first barring something very freaky.
I will say this: Given a choice, I would always take the newer one. Better is relative: Ivy Bridge is smaller and reduces power consumption, but severely limits heat dissipation and conversely the ability to overclock.

Hello, difference between first generation and second generation laptop? The Core i3 is the low end processor and the lowest. The desktop and mobile versions of these processors have dual core technology and Intel hyper-threading support.
The Core i3 do not have the Intel turbo boost support. The Core i5 has both dual and quad processors and Core i5 comes with at least two of its processors the supports the Intel Turbo Boost, graphic designs and Hyper-Threading. The Core i7 are the most powerful processors. It has four processors that support Hyper Threading, and Turbo boost. The mobile C i7 processors have both quad and dual cores.
The C i7 is the highest price and most costly processor in the Core family. This family of processors was based on the 32nm microarchitecture by Intel, and was the first to integrate the processor and memory controller graphics on the same die.
The 2nd generation processors include video performing encoding hardware, and a Video HD and 3D stereoscopic content for TV viewing, and support of full streaming HD. WR2 Judicious.

If you're asking this, you really don't need the technical. Oct 2, 6, 0 26, Yup, it's like your first baby and then your second one, first one was tough and needs to be looked after a lot more, the second one just came off the assembly line and fit straight into the pram.
Jokes apart, 1 gen is the first lot of commercial processors sold out in the market after the processor has been designed , prototyped, tested and finalized. Then, after and while, recovering the costs that went into making that processor, the company is still looking to improve it's processors, so while we are using them and giving a feedback, the company is also looking into what all can be optimized, so then again comes slight changes in design, minor altercations, samples, testing and gen 2 is now out in the market.
So the basic difference between the generations is Optimization. May 3, 12 0 18, 0. Apr 19, 27, 3 84, 4, That applies to the reverse as well. The OP is not talking about different chips altogether, it is understood that he is in comparison of the same family, just a different gen. IntelEnthusiast Splendid. Feb 10, 2, 0 21, Between the 1st generation Intel Core processors and the 2nd generation there was a die shrink dropping them from 45nm to 32nm.
The 2nd generation Intel Core processors which were released earlier this year and have a new microarchitecture were released at 32nm. Christian Wood Intel Enthusiast Team. May 7, 1 0 10, 0. IntelEnthusiast :. Oct 16, 3 0 4, 0. You must log in or register to reply here. CPUs 3 Dec 10,
