Suppose you work for a construction company, and the company is working on construction of multiple buildings. Relate this to the problem of allocation of resources. And if you are running a legacy application that is not multi-threaded the clock speed is increased further. So if you are running a multi threaded application, that requires more power the technology intelligently increases the clock frequency. If the processor detects that it is below its power, temperature, and current limits, its clock frequency increases to boost performance for active processor cores. The Intel Turbo Boost Technology: Intel Turbo Boost Technology helps deliver more performance when and where you need it. But what exactly makes them different? To explain that, I first need to describe two technologies:ġ. Absolutely right, Core i7 is more powerful than Core i5 and Core i5 is more powerful than Core i3. So, second in series of processor analysis, I bring to you the technical yet readable differences between the Intel Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 processors.

Was quizzing a computer vendor on my last visit to buy a pen drive! Toh Core i3 bhi hua na?” – Curious me.
