Bristol Computer Support are now building custom PCs based on the new Generation 8 i3 CPUs.\u00a0 The main differences are that the CPU is Quad core, rather than dual core as it was in the Generation 7 range, plus the generation performance of the chip range in the motherboards etc.<\/p>\n
Many manufacturers are still shipping Generation 7 CPUs.\u00a0 You can tell the difference in the model of the CPU.\u00a0 It will read “Intel i3 700x” etc.\u00a0 Is it worth getting the older generation?\u00a0 If you are looking for performance, probably not.<\/p>\n
The motherboards for the new generation 8 CPUs are twice as expensive – so there will be a price increase to get the new hardware.\u00a0 Typical gen 7 boards were starting at about \u00a340-\u00a350, gen 8 are \u00a380-\u00a390 entry level.<\/p>\n
