In August 2019, Intel introduced the 10th generation line-up of its processors, nicknamed “comet lake”.

For better performance and higher speeds, we recommend a 10th Gen i7 PC or i5 (if you’re on a budget). The 10th Gen Core i5 processors come with 4 or 6 cores, with maximum frequency speeds of up to 4.60 GHz. A 10th gen i5 will allow you to open multiple applications and spreadsheets with ease. A 10th gen i7 can offer speeds of up to 5.00 GHz with 4, 6 or 8 cores. Intel has also fitted the i7 with smart cache.
