What Is The Latest Processor In Laptops – Intel’s 13th generation desktop CPU update is interesting because processors across the range pick up extra clusters of four or eight E-cores, significantly improving how they handle heavily threaded tasks. The new laptop CPUs that Intel has also announced are much less interesting – the ones that will end up in most laptops, increase clock speeds and support faster memory, but are otherwise mostly identical to the 12th generation CPUs’ are they replace.
This is not uncommon; Intel’s 7th gen update was similarly low-key, and 10th gen was mostly so too. The days when every year would bring either a new architecture or a new manufacturing process are long gone. Just know when you’re shopping for a laptop that the jump from 11th to 12th generation represents a much bigger leap in performance (and sometimes a reduction in battery life) than the … Read the rest
