It indicates that a large number of users are still using the operating system with an earlier version. It is either a problem of habit, hardware, work requirements, or game requirements.

With the release of the AMD Ryzen 7000 series and the 13th generation of intel processors, the main processors in the current installed market are the latest two generations of products. With the latest hardware, we will not be so casual when choosing the operating system.

At present, the mainstream systems are Windows 7, Windows 10, and Windows 11. As early as January 14, 2020, Windows 7 officially terminated its technical support for Windows 7, which will lead to many strange problems caused by incompatible drivers when installing Windows 7 on computers equipped with new processors, More and more new hardware will no longer provide Windows 7 drivers, and Windows 7 will no longer be compatible with the new version of hardware and new technologies. Windows 7 system users will not be able to enjoy the performance improvement brought by the hardware upgrade, and there will no longer be system patches pushed. Once attacked by new viruses, the security of use will not be guaranteed at all, Therefore, it is not recommended to use Windows 7 or the operating system of previous versions on computers with new hardware.

The difference between Windows 10 and Windows 11 is actually that the biggest difference between the 12th and 13th generation CPUs lies in the architecture. Some CPUs adopt the design of size cores. Windows 11 can better deploy the working mechanism of size cores. The reason is that Windows 11 system has a large core and a small core design. The system will deploy resources according to the task intensity. Windows 10 does not have this design, All cores can only be used as performance cores by default, that is, small cores or one core. Therefore, under high loads. It will lead to confusion in the scheduling of large and small cores and tasks under the Windows 10 system, hinder the process, increase the bus delay, and then cause a significant decline in performance. Therefore, if your configuration is the latest 13th-generation CPU or 12th-generation CPU, and is designed for large and small cores, it is recommended to install the Windows 11 operating system to avoid confusion in the core working mechanism.

It is worth noting that among the 12th generation Intel processors, the processors below i5-12600k do not adopt the design of large and small cores, so it is theoretically possible to install Windows 10 or Windows 11, which is determined according to personal preferences, while the 13th generation processing. At present, only the version marked with k has been released, and there is no design of size core. Therefore, it is recommended to install the Windows 11 operating system.

In the process of DIY computer assembly, many people have the same view on the choice of CPU, that is, i7 is definitely better than i5. As long as the manufacturers recommend the i7 CPU, they will not hesitate to choose it.

But why do you say that? That’s because computer novices all agree that i7 has better performance than i5 or i3 processors. But I don’t understand the truth that the i7 processor performs better than the i5 or i3 processor in comparison with the CPU series of the same generation. If it is not the same generation, it is hard to say. Maybe i3 processors are stronger than i7 processors.

Take a simple example, for example, to assemble a set of Core i5-10400 computers. However, businesses recommend the computer configuration of the Core i7-920 to consumers, and they will desperately advocate that the Core i7 is more powerful than the i5, and the price will be cheaper. Computer novices who don’t know where they are easily fooled. They spend their money but still believe that the recommendation is good.

You should know that the Intel Core series CPU is now the 12th generation CPU series. Core i5-10400 is the 10th generation CPU model of the i5 series, while Core i7-920 is the 1st generation CPU model of the i7 series. Although the performance of the Core i5-10400 is not as good as that of the latest 12-generation Core i5-12400, it is many times better than that of the first-generation Core i7-920.

If you compare the CPUs of the same generation, the larger the number, the stronger the CPU performance. For example, the Core i7-10700 must have better performance than the Core i5-10400, which is the same generation of Core CPU. Just like weightlifters, in the same level of competition, the heavier the weight lifted, the better it will be.

One netizen said that he bought a computer in an online store, and the store recommended him a Core i7 configuration, which was worth more than 1000 yuan. The computer configuration is as follows: CPU is Core i7-860; The motherboard is a luxury H551 all solid-state motherboard; The memory is a 16G memory module; The video card is a 4G independent video card; The hard disk is a 12G solid state+500G mechanical hard disk.

It can be said that computer novices are easy to get into the pit. As long as the Core i7 is used, it will be considered as a computer with good performance. But I don’t know such a computer configuration. It is basically a computer configuration that has been eliminated for many years. Except that the hard disk and memory module may be brand new, other hardware configurations are estimated to be second-hand or refurbished, which is a bit of a loss.

To put it simply, the performance comparison of both Intel and AMD series CPU processors is the same generation CPU series. The larger the number of CPU models, the stronger the performance. If the CPU models of different generations are compared, they will be larger than the main frequency and the size of the core thread. In this case, it is difficult to find a better CPU with different models.

In general, before DIY computers are assembled, you must have a certain understanding of the CPU model you choose, rather than blindly pursuing that the Core i7 is more powerful than the i5. If you blindly believe in the Core i7 recommended by businesses, rather than the current main game Core i7, then only computer novices will suffer.
