It would be better to called it “technological” rather “technical”; the difference between the two and one of the latest computer processors, the Core i5 and Core i7. Basically, the Core i5 is said to be conventional version of Core i7. Both have significant difference in terms of technicalities and technological advancements. Here you can find the details regarding differences between both these computer processors. However, Core i5 hasn’t come up with latest architecture rather it is representing the “Nehalem architecture.”

Following are the technical differences or you can say technological difference between both these fast computer processors.

New LGA1156 Socket

The new LGA1156 is said to be the main technological, as well as technical difference between Core i5 and Core i7. Mechanically, Core i5 has come up with this new LGA1156 socket, whereas in Core i7, the old socket LGA1366 still has been used by the manufacturer. A new chip set “P55” has been used in the LGA1366 socket for smooth and better performance. User can have the good computing experience by using CPU with these latest technology computer processors. Although, the LGA1366 socket along with the “P55” new chip set can not able to create some kind of measurable difference in the overall performance of the processor but the price can play its part on behalf of extending the number of buyers.

Currently Intel Corporation is taking necessary steps towards the prices reduction by considering two new chip sets, that is “H55” and “Q57” would going to be used in the Intel Core i5 600 processors. This step towards introducing new chip sets and prices reduction can have significant impact on the overall corporate sales of the company by increasing the buyers in the market against demand of the product. This would say a “bold step” towards performance improvement along with cost reduction.

Modification in the Turbo Mode

So far, the major performance immunisation in Core i5 has been the modification in the turbo mode, watch this core i5 processing video. In customer choice, Core i5 has been the better option just because of the reason that it come up with an accelerator stock speed in between 2.66GHz to 3.2 GHz. This is said to be an unbeatable change in the both Core i5 and Core i7 processors.

Inclusion of Dual Channel Memory

As Core i7 was only capable of handling a triple-channel memory, so most of the computer users didn’t find it feasible who mostly required less to have RAM. But on the other side, Core i5 gives the comfort as well as flexibility to the users to buy or purchase with couple f Ram slots as and when they required. Basically, Core i5 if fully functional and equipped with a Dual Channel Memory. Also, this doesn’t cause any significant impact on the overall performance of the processor.

Hyperactive Threading Mechanism

An Intel mechanism to encourage additional cores for better performance is known as Hyper-threading. It is truly a remarkable performance booster. Although, out of some Core i5 versions, there are most of the products which do not support this amazing mechanism resulting lack of good performance seen in those products.

Conclusion

Lastly, both have significant difference in terms of technicalities and technological advancements. Here you can find the details regarding differences between both these computer processors. However, Core i5 hasn’t come up with latest architecture rather it is representing the “Nehalem architecture.”

Would love to have you personalized picture gallery or a similar museum?  Get your virtual museum know as Intel have published Museum of Me, an exciting online free app that transforms your Facebook profile to a virtual museum by extracting your pictures through a single button.

Museum of Me is like a traditional app which request for an access to your Facebook profile, pulls out your photos, photographs of your friends that you interact the most, your current location and everything that you have shared on your profile and turns each and everything to an impressive and interactive movie animation. It like creating your virtual Facebook museum.

The app makes you feel the same as like walking in a museum where everywhere you could find yourself, your friends and your own data decoratively hanging on walls. The bad is thing about this app is that you cannot export this animated video else you could you a screencasting tool namely Camtasia or Fraps to record the on screen output.

Do try Intel’s virtual museum app and make your Facebook look more beautiful. Thanks Labnol.org for the share.

We have heard about new USB 3.0 which assumes to have faster data transfer rate then standard USB 2.0, similarly in hard drives the technology have changed moving from SATA to eSATA technology where the main aim is to provide more and more faster data transfer rate. But have you heard about the Intel’s Thunder Bolt Technology ?

Updating its technology, Intel have just released a technology codenamed Light Peak under Thunder Bolt’s title. The main excitement about Light Peak Thunder Bolt is that is a dual bi-directional channel with massive data transfer speed of up 10GBps.

Light Peak Thunder Bolt attaches itself on PCI-Express slot on your mother board and you can easily connect external devices directly. The main reason for high data transfer rate might be allowing this technology to use PCI-Exp port. The interface gets its power from internal structure so users don’t have to worry about giving extra power adapters to external devices/hard drives.

How Thunder Bolt Works ?

You can just imaging the data transfer rate of Thunder Bolt according to Intel, for example if you want to transfer a full HD movie lets say about 15-20GB of size, using Thunder Bolt you can transfer the data in just 30 seconds of time span. That’s really amazing !!

Intel further quotes as the technology is backward compatible with previous standards where on the main features is reliable cable used. Using the most significant adapter to the port, Thunderbolt can connect itself with many accessories designed with USB 2.0, eSATA or FireWire.

Who Is Using This Technology ?

The most cheerful technology partner Apple has adopted this technology, as their new MacBook Pros line up comes with Thunderbolt connectivity interface. LaCie, one of the popular brands in external hard drives is also compatible with Thunderbolt. Other manufacturers like Seagate and Western Digital made a  contract with Intel to use Thunderbolt and later by the end 2011 they might adopt with their new line ups.

Intel have just released the all new hexacore flagship CPU processors called the Intel Core i7-990X Extreme Edition which is said to have six 3.46GHz cores along with 12 processing threads. The company claims to feature the processor with Intel’s Turbo Boost technology which allows user to overclock the processor to 3.73GHz or above.

The processor also features a 12MB cache which can be assigned to every single core plus a room for three DDR3 memory for 1066MHz. The best combination according to Intel for this heavy processor is paired with X58 Express Chipset.

Intel Core i7-990X Extreme Edition is now available for purchase with a price tag of $1,050. You can have check out Intel Core i7 review.
