Around 80% of new PCs, and over 90% of laptops, have Intel processors. This means that if you’re in the market for a new computer, you’ll most likely be considering an Intel-powered model. Finding the right chip is hard. Intel's processor ecosystem is strewn with confusing model numbers that actually tell you a lot about the processor you're about to buy, albeit only if you know what you're actually looking for. Intel’s branding doesn’t make it particularly easy for you to choose: it’s not at all obvious what the difference between a Core i3, Core i5 or Core i7 processor is, apart from an ever-increasing amount of cash removed from your wallet.
