An Intel processor is a type of microprocessor produced by the Intel Corporation. It is the brain of a computer and is responsible for processing data and instructions.
Intel is a leading innovator in CPU technology, offering premium processors with unparalleled performance. Their processors come in various model families like Core, Xeon, Pentium, and Celeron, spanning multiple generations from 9th to the latest 14th Gen. These processors cater to diverse needs, from enhanced speed and mobility to creative workflows, gaming, business, big data, and more. Intel processors power the majority of PCs on the market, making them the go-to choice for high-performance computing.
The price of Intel processors in Bangladesh varies by model and specifications. Generally, entry-level CPUs start around BDT 8,000, while mid-range models can cost between BDT 15,000 and BDT 25,000. High-performance processors might exceed BDT 40,000. Prices fluctuate with market demand and availability.
Intel has several series of processors catering to different market segments and use cases. Some of the main series include:
The Intel Core series is designed for mainstream consumers, offering a balance between performance and affordability. Within this series, the Core i3, i5, i7, and i9 processors cater to different user requirements.
Primarily designed for servers, workstations, and high-performance computing environments, the Intel Xeon series delivers reliability, scalability, and advanced features to meet the demands of enterprise applications.
Positioned as entry-level processors for desktops and laptops, the Intel Pentium series offers decent performance for basic computing tasks such as web browsing, email, and office productivity. Positioned as budget-friendly processors for basic computing tasks, Intel Pentium processors offer decent performance for everyday activities like web browsing, document editing, and light multitasking.
Similar to Pentium processors, Intel Celeron processors are designed for budget-conscious consumers and provide basic computing capabilities at an affordable price point. They are commonly found in entry-level laptops, desktops, and low-cost Chromebooks.
Designed for low-power devices such as tablets, smartphones, and embedded systems, the Intel Atom series delivers energy-efficient performance for lightweight computing tasks.
For desktop and laptop computers, the dual-core Core i3 processor is offered. The "i" series, generally known as the Intel Core family of processors, comprises three different types of processors.With a frequency range of 1.30 GHz to 3.50 GHz, the Core i3 processor comes with a cache of either 3 MB or 4 MB. It uses a motherboard's LGA (Land Grid Array) 1150 or LGA 1155 socket. Two cores are present in dual-core Core i3 processors. Nevertheless, a small number of high-end Core i3 CPUs with four cores are quad-core. Typically, Intel 10th Gen Core i3 10100F processors range in price from BDT 8,000 to BDT 15,000. Prices differ according on the model and generation, and changes are affected by general market conditions.
A family of dual and quad core, 64-bit, x86 CPUs from Intel, introduced in 2009. The Core i5 chips are the midrange CPUs in the Core "i" line between the entry-level i3 and the high-performance i7 series. Some models are Intel Core i5-12400 12th Gen Processor, Intel Core i5 14400F 14th Gen, Intel Core i5-13400 14th Gen Processor etc. Certain models of the i5 family include the Turbo Boost feature (see Turbo Boost). Intel Core i5 processors typically range from BDT 15,000 to BDT 25,000, depending on the generation and specifications. Prices can vary with market conditions and retailer.
The 14th Gen Intel processors represent a significant leap forward in computing performance, particularly for gaming and content creation. These processors, part of the Raptor Lake Refresh lineup, are tailored for enthusiasts who demand top-tier gaming experiences while also engaging in content creation. Continuing with the Performance Hybrid Architecture, these processors ensure a smoother overall system experience. The latest 14th Gen Intel processors boast up to 24 cores, 32 threads, and a peak clock speed of up to 6 GHz, delivering unmatched speed and AI-guided overclocking capabilities. Maintaining the LGA 1700 socket design, these processors are compatible with both the Intel 600 and 700 series motherboard chipsets, as with the 13th and 12th Gen. DDR5 XMP speeds are supported up to 8,000 MT/S with the Intel XTU AI Assist feature. popular models include the Intel 14th Gen Core i5 14600K Raptor Lake, Intel 14th Gen Core i7 14700KF Raptor Lake and Intel 14th Gen Core i9 14900K Raptor Lake.
The 13th Generation Intel processors redefine raw performance, offering up to 24 cores and 32 threads with a processing power of up to 6 GHz. These Raptor Lake processors utilize the 10nm Intel 7 Process, providing up to 68 MB of cache data. The Raptor Cove Performance Cores excel in single-thread duties, making them ideal for heavy gaming, while the Gracemont Efficient Cores handle highly threaded workloads like 3D modeling and rendering. This results in an unprecedented boost in frame rates for research simulation and processing big data. Designed with the LGA 1700 socket, these processors are compatible with both the new 700 series and previous 600 series chipsets. They also feature updated PCIe Gen 5.0 connectivity, M.2 data transfer protocol, and dual-channel memory support for both DDR4 and DDR5. popular models include the Intel 13th Gen Core i5 13600KF Raptor Lake, Intel 13th Gen Core i7 13700K Raptor Lake and Intel 13th Gen Core i9 13900K Raptor Lake.
The 12th Generation Intel processors, known as Alder Lake, feature a hybrid architecture combining high-performance and high-efficiency cores. This generation supports DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0, significantly enhancing computing and gaming performance.
