Intel 8th Gen vs 7th Gen CPUs: Kaby Lake Refresh Is a Lot Faster

The introduction of the new Gen 8 Intel Core series processors has significantly increased the performance of computers.  The number of cores (processors) for all lines has been increased,

the Core i3 has increased from 2 to 4 cores, the Core i5 and Core i7 chips have gone from 4 cores to 6 cores and the enhancements are noticeable in Microsoft Office applications.

If you're crunching large spreadsheets with Excel, you want 8th Gen Core. When we ran a macro that matches 65,000 names with their addresses, the 7th Gen-powered Swift 3 finished in 2 minutes and 36 seconds while the new model completed the same task in just 1:32, a 70 percent improvement. The 8th Gen-powered XPS 13 was even quicker, finishing the macro in 1:08, compared to the 7th Gen-powered model's 2:30., a 55 percent jump.
