Toc – Architectural changes (When a brand new and different micro architecture comes out it is the “tock”) Its basically the tic-toc version followed by Intel Lets consider the mobile range of Intel processors for Laptops and tablets as there are no 5th Gen chips for low end desktop versions The Haswell or 4th generation cpus are the “tock” and the Broadwell or 5th generation cpus are the “tick” It is a “Tock, Tick” cycle explained below. Intel follows a cycle when releasing micro architectures. The difference between Haswell and Broadwell is not much. The Broadwell-E or 5th generation high end gaming cpus are not out yet.
The 5th generation intels are only based off of the Broadwell micro architecture. The 4th generation intels are based off of the Haswell and for the high end gaming cpus, the Haswell-E micro architecture.
However, for best results do consult an expert Difference between 4th and 5th Gen? If you are a novice in the field like me, the following compilation might help. Being a non-IT engineer required some research into the basics of hardware devices. Recently, I was searching the new configuration of a laptop i’d like to buy and made a few interesting discoveries.
