So I currently have an older HP HDX18 Laptop from around 2008.
It has a Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 (2.8GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 6MB Level 2 cache)
Its a great computer and still feels very fast but I am looking to upgrade it. I like the idea of having a portable PC or Mini PC. HP's NUC like seems line a good place to go.
I see some of the Intel Nuc mini pcs and prodesk computers that have Intel Core i5 3rd Gen., 1.8GHz.
If the Intel Core i5 3rd Gen., has 1.8GHz. does that mean my 2.8GHz - Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 would be faster?
Also looking at INTEL® CORE™ i5-5300U PROCESSOR (Processor Base Frequency 2.30 GHz) does this mean my Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 (2.8GHz) is faster than this?
How do I shop with the intention of upgrading when it seems my processor seems on par with some of the newer ones out there? Is there some kind of chart or other info I could use to compare things to?
