>> So the older gen, lower i number, slower clock speed is 'better'??
Nope the I7 is "older gen". In fact its a 10 year old generation - Generation is not the I number
Generations are names. Currently on intel something lake
Intel is making I5's and I7's today on new generation chip fabs. Using new generation motherboard chip sets. 10th generation. You an still buy 9th generation chips, but they use a different socket
And what you doing down in ranking 1460 anyway? its prehistoric down there.
