I'm somewhat on a tight budget in buying a new university laptop. My university has provided minimum laptop specifications (256GB SSD, 8GB RAM, i5 processor).
The i5 processor is quite a broad term, as I'm just now learning. I'm wondering how much of a difference would an 8th generation i5 be compared to a 4th generation i5.
I've compared two processors on the intel website and frankly, I'm a bit confused by the GHz, Cores, Threads, or TDP.
The laptop is for a computer science course, so programming and emulation would be a big thing (and I assume machine learning).
I use this site to compare cpu performance, i bit hard to use at first......https://www.cpubenchmark.net/
