[Question]Confusion on current processors
Author Summary
Twansel is in Question
Post Body

Alright, so I'm no hardware buff, I've used my basic Google-Fu and I'm a bit confused.

I currently have a laptop from 2012. It feels as if it's at the end of its life and ready for replacement. It has served me well. I want to replace/upgrade.

But I've noticed that, what I got in early 2012 for my then budget of €700,- doesn't stack up to what I would get for my now €800,- budget.

I know the very basics of processors, but I've noticed that almost any laptop around that pricemark runs something akin to a Intel Core i7-4510U or Intel Core i7-5500U, which are dual core processors.

My current laptop runs a Intel Core i7 2670QM, which on paper looks quite a bit more powerful.

What happened? Am I misunderstanding the general specification data and benchmarks?

On request, I could provide more information.

Please help
