Processor generation and family to which the processor model belongs. The newer the generation, the more modern the manufacturing process of microcircuits, therefore, the efficiency is much higher. The newer generation comes with more cores, which is what we consider the sweet spot for most mainstream users. Ask yourself additional questions: - How many generations of CPUs are there? - What is the name of first generation CPU? - What is CPU core config? Find out how many generations and families of processors there are to choose the right one.

The base frequency of the processor refers to is the default value, and the maximum frequency in Turbo mode refers to the maximum speed that the processor can achieve with virtual technologies. The higher the base and turbo speed of the {Intel Core i5-3427U} processor, the better. Most modern processors have two speeds: basic and turbo. When comparing models and choosing the best one, consider the following: - What is a base CPU speed? - What is a good CPU base frequency? - What does changing the base frequency of the processor do? Focus on the numbers and find the best CPU for gaming.

Integrated graphics refers to a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) that's built into the same package as the CPU (Central Processing Unit.) Integrated graphics are present exclusively on processors manufactured by Intel and AMD. Most often, processors are produced without an integrated internal graphics core, so you can not pay attention to this unit when analyzing characteristics. But consider the following: - Does integrated graphics lower CPU performance? - How do I know if my CPU has integrated graphics? - Do I need a graphics card if I have integrated graphics?

• GPU name
  Intel HD Graphics 4000

With modern CPUs the memory controller is built directly into the CPU itself, which means different types of CPUs may support different speeds of memory. The following is also important: - What is memory support in processor? - What type of system memory is supported in CPU? What memory is supported by the processor {Intel Core i5-3427U} and at what maximum frequency the RAM module can operate, you can see below. The higher the type of memory and its clock speed, the better. Similarly to memory, a PCIE device can be evaluated.

• Memory type

Hardware-based encryption is the use of computer hardware to assist software, or sometimes replace software, in the process of data encryption. Encryption as one of the ways to transfer data between system devices. See what type of encryption is supported by the processor {Intel Core i5-3427U}. Don't forget the essentials: - How do I encrypt my processor? - What is encryption in a computer? - What is AES in a CPU? - What are the 4 main types of encryption systems?

• AES-NI
  Yes

{Intel Core i5-3427U} CPU thermal management. Features of heat dissipation of the processor. TDP size. All these characteristics will help you find out what kind of cooling system you need for the processor and how much it will heat up under load. Thermal management in boxed Processor-based systems can affect both the performance and noise level of the system. In the meantime, think about the following: - How do I apply thermal paste to my CPU? - How do I clean the thermal paste off my CPU? - Why is my CPU overheating? Most microprocessors today are capable of rejecting heat directly into the surrounding air. Choose the right CPU for you.

• TDP (PL1)
  17 W
• Tjunction max.
