What is a Processor?

A processor is the main part of a gadget, be it a smartphone, a tablet, laptop, desktop, gaming console, television, and even smartwatches and smart bands. The processor controls the devices’ functions, transmits data/instructions, and carries out the task we want with the help of the OS. Processors have different cores and clock speeds, which determine the performance level and time taken to complete a certain task. Higher-end processors have higher clock speed and more cores for extreme multitasking. Apart from the CPU, computers also have a graphic processing unit (GPU) which does all the graphics related processing and determines how good images and videos appear to us and are important for various applications like gaming, photo and video editing, graphics design, and animation.

Processor Brands, Types and Generation

Computer Processors are developed by Intel, AMD, and Apple. Intel and AMD are the longest players in the market, Apple launched its first processor in late 2020 and called it the M1 chip.

Intel has various types of processors such as Intel Core, Intel Pentium, Intel Celeron, and Intel Xeon. The difference between them is that the Intel Pentium and the Intel Celeron are designed to be budget-friendly, while the Intel Core processors have strong processing capabilities and offer faster performance. The Intel Xeon processors are used for servers and workstations and have a much higher level of performance. The Intel processors have name designations like i3, i5, i7, and the latest i9, and when the number is higher, the performance is better, so i5 is better than i3, i7 is better than i5 and so on. However, one also has to pay attention as to which generation the processor belongs to. The latest processors from Intel are the 11th generation processors. The present generation of processors performs better than the previous generation of processors.

After Intel, AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) is the most popular name in the processor domain. AMD makes processors using smaller fabrication processes which allow the processor to be compact while delivering better performance. AMD calls its processor Ryzen, so you will find different Ryzen series such as Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7, and Ryzen 9. The higher the number the better the performance, and the higher models cost a higher amount.

Apple had earlier relied on Intel for its MacBook and iMac processors. Now, Apple has its own processor called Apple Silicon. Apple named its first processor for laptops and desktops as the M1 chip. Aside from MacBook and iMac, the latest iPads are also powered by the M1 chip. The M1 chip is powerful, efficient and highly capable.

Which Processor Should You Buy?

That depends on your usage. Choosing the best computer processor and the best laptop processor becomes highly important because that determines the speed and performance capability of your computer/laptop. If you are someone who needs a computer to do some basic computing such as watching movies, listening to music, sending emails, surfing the internet, you can depend on entry-level processors such as Intel Pentium, Intel Celeron, Core i3, Ryzen 3. If you are into gaming, multitasking, and programming you can consider some better processors like the Core i5, Core i7, Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7, M1. If you do some heavy editing and you run high-end software or play some high-end games, you should consider Core i7, Core i9, Ryzen 7, Ryzen 9, M1. As for the processor generation, choose the latest one for the ultimate performance.
