  What is the latest generation of laptops? Intel’s 8th Generation Core i5 and Core i7 Processors are the latest in a line of powerful processors. These processors use less power and generate less heat, which means that your laptop can work longer on a battery charge. They also have more cache memory, which speeds up performance. And they have integrated graphics that’s good enough for most people's needs — something not usually seen on Intel Core chips until this generation. Some of the 8th Generation Core processors in laptops: Intel Core i7-8550U, 3.8GHz, up to 4.0GHz w/ Turbo Boost, 15W, 8MB Cache, 2C4T Intel Core i7-8650U, 1.9GHz to 4.1GHz rated 5W TDP (15W), Hyper Threading Enabled, 8MB Cache Intel Core i5-8250U, 1.6GHz to 4.0GHz rated 35W TDP (15W), 6MB Cache Intel Core i5-8350U, 1.6GHz to 3.6GHz rated 15W TDP (35W), 6MB Cache Image source:https://www.smartprix.com/ On the AMD side of things, the company's latest generation of Ryzen processors are proving to be q

Also, older laptops that can be upgraded to Ivy Bridge processors will have the i7 inscription as well.
