Core i Core also worth 4,000 yuan i core notebook is recommended

Intel Core i series mobile processors have been released more than six months, related products are overwhelming, occupying half of the mainstream products in the market, although there are a small number of Core 2 and Pentium products, mixed in this price segment, but the rivers and rivers have become a climate. With the promotion of the entire summer promotion, the price of Core i laptops has dropped further. Some products have been able to compete with the price of Core Duo 2 Duo notebooks for the same period. Higher performance and lower prices have given old products a heavy blow. The difference between the old and new platforms is less than $500, enough to allow users to turn to Core i and give up Core 2 instead.

Compared with other price segments, the configuration of the notebook within 4,000 yuan is the most confusing, and the old and new platforms are crossed. It is easy for users who do not understand to choose the wrong one. When a store sells notebooks, the common term is “dual-core alone, clocked at 2.0” and it does not tell consumers that the specifications of a specific dual-core processor are Core 2 or Pentium or Core i. For friends who do not understand the computer configuration, after entering the store, it is easy to be fooled by the sale, and at a higher price, to buy a product with a higher frequency of the old platform. You must know that when you enter the dual-core era, the clock speed cannot be determined. The main performance of the product, the impact of the architecture on performance is more important and far-reaching.

From the above performance table is not difficult to see, Core i platform entry-level products I3-330M, with excellent architecture, with a lower frequency of 2.13GHZ disadvantages, performance in the victory over the previous generation of higher frequency products. Compared with the previous generation of Pentium processor performance increased by about 29%, compared to the previous generation of Core 2 Duo entry-level products T6600 processor performance increased by 19%, even higher than the previous generation of high-end Core 2 Duo clock up to 2.57GHZ P8700 processor performance Also superior. When users enter the store, when they hear the sales introduction frequency, do not forget to ask what dual-core.

Recently, the number of Core i Duo notebooks that dropped to 4,000 yuan is very high (as shown in the above table), and the price advantage shows, which coincides with the Pentium dual-core or Core 2 Duo cores sold in the same period and the price range from 3500 yuan to 3999 yuan, at the same price point. In the segment, the competitiveness of the old platform has dropped significantly. However, this price segment, not all brands, have Core i Duo core cost-effective configuration products introduced, is still mostly domestic brands, Japan and South Korea Department of Sony, Toshiba, Samsung and the US Department of Dell brands, Core i series Dual-core notebook prices are still 4,000 yuan, it is estimated that it will not go further until October.

4000 yuan Core i product portable performance weak game users please bypass

Since the Core i Duo product with a price of 4,000 yuan is configured with an entry-level discrete graphics card or simply uses a processor-integrated graphics chip, it is difficult to meet the needs of game users, based on the results of our game-specific tests, such as games. The performance ladder diagram shows that in general playing games, graphics card 3DMark06 score at least 6,000 points or more, can be more smooth running; In addition, most of the 4000 yuan product size is concentrated in 14 inches, 13-inch, 12-inch products rarely read It also does not apply to users with portable needs, and in order to highlight cost-effectiveness, the operating system is generally omitted.
