Which processor is in your computer or laptop? 🤔
Yes indeed... Now it's time to meet the most important main character of this settlement in whose name the market delivers long lectures! And the interesting thing is that whether or not the public knows about the rest of the computer's parts the name i7 is remembered like it's a school prayer! 🤭
Alright! Let's meet the real king of this settlement the processor or as they call it the CPU... This is the entity without which your computer is just a beautiful box… whether you press any button from inside the screen or outside it the signal first rings inside the processor and only then does it produce the result of your command… Now if the processor itself is weak then all the other expensive parts are like fitting a donkey cart engine into a Formula One racing car! 🫡
Now let's talk about who the big players are that make these processors.
The first company is named Intel, the veteran player of the market whose relationship with creative software companies like Adobe goes way back… That's exactly why software like Photoshop Illustrator and Premiere Pro run buttery smooth, fully optimized on Intel processors… Their processors come in two major series… First, the Xeon series which is for people who know every fine detail of processors from this series they can manually search through countless options to find the best processor exactly suited to their budget and work… And second the Core i series where Intel itself has created categories based on tasks so that people who don't know much about processors can easily pick the processor that matches their category of work…
And the second company is AMD which is like that guy who used to sit quietly at first then suddenly hit the gym and came back with such a ripped body that everyone was stunned! Then it also landed solid contracts with gaming companies… So if the main focus is high end gaming or any 3D work its Ryzen series can deliver bullet like speed on a smaller budget…
Then the third but biggest name is Apple the king of kings so to speak… because Apple's own M Series processors currently deliver the world's most perfect coolest performance along with a dangerously long battery life… which is an especially amazing thing for high level coders and elite class creators as long as your bank account also has a true, deep love for Apple! Then no better option can be imagined…
But the real question isn't whether to get Intel, AMD or Apple… the real question is… how do you recognize the right processor for your work? 🤔
So next time you go to the market instead of getting impressed by the shopkeeper's talk weigh the processor yourself on these three scales, and you'll understand on your own which is the best processor for your work… 🤷
The first thing is Clock Speed shortened as GHz this is the processor's speed… meaning how quickly it can handle tasks in one second… the higher the GHz number the faster the processor… it handles heavy tasks that have a still preview like graphic design, color grading, etc. because speeding up these tasks requires more clock speed not power… but don't get excited by speed alone... because the next factor matters too...
The second thing is Cores meaning the workers operating inside the processor… If GHz is speed then Cores are the strength and weight carrying capacity… the more there are the heavier a load the processor can carry… if you're doing heavy 4K video editing, animation, or rendering you need more cores so the heavy workload gets divided among more workers and finishes in minutes… so for office work 4 cores for design at least 6 cores and for heavy editing 8 or more cores are needed…
And the third thing is Generation… you could call this the processor's age or lineage the older the generation the older the brain and the newer the generation the more modern the brain that can handle new software well… generation is selected according to budget…
Now if cores and clock speed leave you confused about what to get to make life easier these companies have created their own auto series based on work categories…
For completey basic tasks there's i3 or Ryzen 3 just basic office work students and light internet browsing, this series will do…
For basic creative tasks i5 or Ryzen 5 if you're doing good graphic design and normal video editing this remains the best option within a reasonable budget…
For heavy creative tasks, i7 or Ryzen 7 if you're into heavy 4K video editing, animation and gaming, this is a good option within a good budget…
For devastating performance, i9 or Ryzen 9 when you're getting this processor it's practically a crime to ask what tasks it can handle because whatever you do on it, you'll get devastating results…
And this is exactly where the biggest game is played in the market! You need to choose the series according to your work and the generation according to your budget! Because just the i7 label or just the clock speed isn't enough it's the combination of company, cores, clock speed and generation that makes the truly perfect processor…
Once you've made your final decision, be sure to go test the machines at CoreX otherwise you might still get deceived in the market! 😎
