Difference between FSB and DMI
Intel Processor Comparison – Part 13 of 16 Front Side Bus FSB is a BUS technology that is used in Core 2 Quad/Duo processor technologies and earlier. FSB allows the processor to communicate with other components of the computer including Memory, PCIe, Video as well as IO devices like USB, Hard disk, Network etc. Everything […]
Difference between Core 2 Technology vs Core i Technology
Intel Processor Comparison – Part 12 of 16 Intel Core 2 Quad and Core 2 Duo technology have some more differences as compared to Intel’s Core i3, i5 and i7 technologies. Core 2 technology supports L2 cache while Core iX processors run Intel Smart Cache technology. Similarly, architectural change in bus architecture is also a […]
Difference Between Core i5 and Core i7
Intel Processor Comparison – Part 11 of 16 Am I getting redundant here? Not really. Intel Core i5 is a quad core processor that can run four processes at a time, while each process can run only one thread. While Intel Core i7 can run four processes and eight threads at the same time on […]
Difference Between Core i3 and Core i5
Intel Processor Comparison – Part 10 of 16 Intel Core i3 is a dual core processor while Core i5 is a quad core processor. While Core i3 can run total of 4 threads and 2 processes at a time, Core i5 can run 4 threads and 4 processes at a time. Intel Core i3 is […]

Intel Processor Comparison – Part 9 of 16 Intel Turbo boost technology is a smart way of over clocking the processors. Gamers and enthusiasts around the globe have been using tricks to overclock their processors to get better speeds. This fact has become so popular that Intel has included Turbo Boost as their native feature. […]
Difference Between Core 2 Quad and Core i5
Processor Comparison – Part 8 of 16 Core 2 Quad and Core i5 are both quad core processors, that is, four cores in one processor chip. This necessarily means, they can run four different processes at the same time. Both of them can run four threads at the same time too. Whats the difference then? […]
Difference Between Core 2 Duo and Core i3
Intel Processor Comparison – Part 7 of 16 As Core 2 Duo technology has been here for some time, Core i3 is targetted to replace Core 2 Duo in the market pretty soon. Both Core 2 Duo and Core i3 are dual core processors and can run two processes at the same time. The main […]
Difference Between Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad
Intel Processor Comparison – Part 6 of 16 Core 2 Duo is a dual core processor and can run two independent processes at the same time. It can run two processes at a time. Hence, total number of parallel threads that can run on Core 2 Duo is 2. Core 2 Quad is a quad […]
Difference Between Thread and Process
Intel Processor Comparison – Part 5 of 16 Every program that runs on your computer is basically a separate Process. Processes are independent running programs on your computer. They have their independent memory, variables, resources and they participate in competing for using the CPU time. Once you boot your PC, it runs several processes at […]
