Laptop choose Guide, part 1-processor

Large parts of the laptop are: memory, hard drive, processor, video card and monitor. Now let's see what kind of who do you need for your laptop.

Part 1-processor

Processor performance is determined by the following parameters: number of cores, core speed, the front-side bus speed and amount of cache.

Number of cores. Processor with multiple cores has a way better job in multitasking than a single one. Usual modern computer runs many tasks at the same time (browser, email client, antivirus, etc. ..), so dual-core processor gives a very noticeable performance boost compare to single-core. From the other point is processor with 4 cores and more usually overkill, because the current state of the software is not possible using four cores on the full power. Dual-core processor is usually the best in terms of performance for your money.
The speed of the core. The more GHz processor has the faster. For simple tasks such as surfing, checking email, watch videos, listen to music and creating documents you don't have a powerful processor. 1.7 GHz dual-core is enough. If you're going to play, encoding video/music, photo or video editors, then you need a faster processor use. Depending on the tasks 2.0 GHz dual-core or better.

The front-side bus speed. You have probably seen something 667 MHz FSB in notebook processor specifications. Now you know what they mean. The more speed FSB the faster data between the processor and memory can be transferred. Faster FSB doesn't have such a great impact on the performance of the processor core speed does, but with the same core speed 800 MHz FSB processor maybe 5-10% faster than 667 MHz FSB processor.Dependent tasks a lot too.Amount of cache. that is the amount of internal memory, the processor.As FSB speed also has no influence on processor performance that much, but still, the more the merrier. Typical values for modern processors are 512 KB-4 MB.
