Coming on to i5, these can be quad-core but there are also dual-core variants. These processors are dual-core but support Intel’s hyperthreading technology which we will discuss in a bit. Those new mobile core i5 also have hyperthreading enabled.Core i3 processors have the lowest core count which shouldn’t come as a surprise. Those new microprocessors bring some considerable performance. The 8 th generation of core i5 was introduced in 2017. The 7 th generation of Core i5 was introduced in early 2017, are manufactured on Intel was improved 14nm process which allowed higher clock speed at similar voltage. All desktop models utilize the LGA-1151 socket which is used for most of the skyline desktop lineup. Intel introduced the desktop Skylake mid-range processors in 2015. Core I5 5 th generationĬore I5 5 th generation of Core i5 is based on a 14nm process for mobile and was introduced in early 2015, this is a process shrink of Haswell. Core I5 4 th generationĬore I5 4 th generation of Core i5 is based on a 22nm process for mobile and was introduced in 2013, became the successor to previous generation processors. This is first microprocessors to use tri-gate transistors for their product. The core duo processors can beat the competitor with the same clock rate.Ĭore I5 3 rd generation of Core i5 processors, based on 22 nm processors for desktop and server. The performance of the Core 2 Duo processor is very good as we compare it with its competitor the AMD Turion. The notebook processor has a lower voltage than the desktop voltage. Core 2 processors are available in notebook and desktop. It has 64-bit dual-core processors, which is shown that two processors are worked inside a core 2 in parallel. The core 2 duo processors were launched in 2006. These are available in quad-core models, but the current generation Core i5 is quad-core processors.

The Core i5 processors are much fast, enhance and updated processors. Both names of processors are quite similar so that is so confusing. The quad-core processors are also available from core 2 generation are called core 2 quads. Core 2 Duo processors as show in name, are dual-core processors. Intelligent people who buildup processors are still made Core i5 processors, they don’t make core 2 processors anymore.

Core 2 processor is very much older than the Core i5 processor core 2 processor was introduced in 2006 and the Core i5 processor was introduced in 2009. Firstly, I want to introduce 2 processors named, Core 2 and core i5, then I will go in detail of the core 2 duo and core i5.
