Question i5-3320m vs N5000 for everyday use

[denimpawell]

Hello all,

I am thinking of buying a cheap laptop with Pentium N5000 but I also have 6 year old laptop with i5 3320m, x230.
In terms of CPU performance, n5000 works better than 3320m? I usually watch youtube and play league of legends.

I checked cpubenchmark website, n5000 looks better by little margin. What about in real life?

I need to keep old one or sell and buy the pentium one?


Thanks,
Jon

The i5 is better. The difference between cpu is negligible although the i5 would win in most of your uses with better per core performance. Everyday uses tend to not care even on a potato . The igpu on the i5 is better.

Thank you for the advice.
I might add more ram and replace a disk with ssd on the old one.
