Processors are difficult to quantize in a review. An i7 is an i7 and without lots of boring benchmarks is hard to rate. This one is fast but in everyday tasks I cant really see a difference between it mand the previous generation that I replaced. Its fast but if it opens my Word document a quarter second faster then before can I notice? The same with P cores and E cores. Everything gets done fast. The slowest part of the whole process is
