I am thinking about a new laptop and I have some questions about processors. Namely, what would likely be the effective difference to me between i3 and i5? I have fairly common requirements: Word, not overly complicated spreadsheets, web-surfing, watching an occasional YouTube video, StockCharts annotations, and etc. What do the Hertz ratings mean in multi-core environments? Are they meaningful like they used to be? Is there some site that compares these things? How do I know which AMD processors are equivalent to which Intel models? My decade old laptop is a bit slow, but serviceable but the optical drive and the battery charger are failing, so I figure I need to replace it while it is still running. It has a Pentium 4 CPU running at 2.8 GHZ. While I am at it I want to get something that is fast enough for the future stuff that will come down the line. Thoughts and ideas? Blessings, JRH
