Technical details
Contrast the specs of the Intel Core i3-4000M and Intel Core i7-5500U CPUs, including L2-L3 cache, release date, motherboard socket, manufacturing method, ISA instruction set, and much more. Give heed to L2 and L3 - the higher this indication, the better; similarly, the smaller the technical process, the better.
