Usipotoshe aisee, i3 Gen ya 10 ama ya 11 ina nguvu kushinda cpu yoyote ile ya Gen ya 5 ama ya 6 za mainstream, kama unaona sio sahihi taja hio cpu ya Gen ya 5 ama ya 6 inayoipita i3 1005G1 ama 1115G4.
Na sio nguvu tu ya Cpu gpu za ndani za Gen ya 11 na 10 zina nguvu sana kiasi kwamba huhitaji dedicated gpu ya low end. Hizi sijui Nvidia 940mx, 330mx 240mx etc zote zimepitwa, labda utumie midrange ama high-end kama 1060, 3080 etc.
The “generations” used in CPU marketing are now pure marketing terms.
Technically, even the most modern “10th generation” Intel desktop core-series CPUs use the same microarchitecture than the “7th generation” i7–7700k. In reality, they are the same generation. The new one just have more cores and some very small improvements to make side channel attacks harder.
Back in the good old days, they did release a totally next microarchitecture every 3–5 years. (8086 =>80286 => 80386=>80486 =>Pentium=>Pentium Pro). These could be called a truly different CPU generations. Then they went into just mostly improving old microarchitectures but giving them new names (Pentium II is just Pentium Pro with cheaper L2 cache and MMX support), Pentium III is just Pentium II with SSE support. However, Pentium IV was a truly new microarchitecture.
But in the last few years, Intel has reverted into just releasing slightly clock-bumped versions of old microarchitectures, and calling these “new generations”. This is mostly marketing bullshit.
On AMD side, It’s slightly better but not much.
Practically, there are two different microarchitectures of Ryzen, Zen and Zen2. The “Second generation ryzen 2000 series” which is based on “zen+” is just a fixed version of the original zen, made with slightly higher slock speeds(because they managed to improve the manufacturing process slightly, and then decided to start calling it “12nm” instead of “14nm” even though all the dimensions of the manufacturing process are exactly the same). It’s not a new generation.
SO, what matters is the actual microarchitecture.
On Intel, core 2000- series brough is sandy bridge, which was a new much better microarchitecture than previous Nehalem/Clarkdale. 3000-series microarchitecture is Ivy bridge, almost the same, but made with better mfg process, which improves mostly energy efficiency. 4000 series is Haswell, again new improved microarchitecture. 5000 series was”Broadwell”, just Haswell with a new mfg process, but clock speeds were initially bad, and then finally got them fixed, they started calling it 6000 series. Calling 5000 and 6000 series different generations was marketing bullshit. Then came 7000-series , new Skylake microarchitecture. And that’s where we are STILL stuck at on Desktop.
On laptops, however, new Sunny Cove microarchitecture came in 2019, and the “10000-series” is a strange mix of those really new Sunny Cove chips and just clock speed and core count bumping of 5-years old Skylake.
So, ignore what generation the marketing talks about. Learn what is the actual microarchitecture of the core.
