Hello,
First time poster so if I'm making any mistakes please let me know.
I built a PC in 2011 and had http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16819103886 this processor installed. I'm currently looking into buying a laptop from Lenovo and often I see processors such as Intel Core i5-540M with 1.7 ghz speed or the i5-4210U also with 1.7 ghz.
I understand that clock speed isn't a good measurement of speed, and I'm comparing AMD to Intel, but I'm curious what I'm missing that makes these processors better (since I'm assuming technology from 2011 doesn't even compare to 2014, Moore's law and all that).
Here is a comparison I put in to save anyone time! =2259&cmp[]=159]http/www.cpubenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=2259&cmp[]=159
Thank you for your time and help.
