Finding the right Intel processor for your build

Intel processors are versatile, from chips for everyday work to powerful ones for gaming. Find one for every single need, whether you're after a smooth, budget-friendly machine or a solid foundation for a top-tier build.


A quick guide to Intel core chips

Here’s a little breakdown:

  • Intel Core i3: Has four cores, spot on for browsing, schoolwork, or streaming.
  • Intel Core i5: A step up from the i3. The extra threads make multitasking a lot smoother, so you can work and stream without a hitch.
  • Intel Core i7: This one’s for the heavier lifting. It's a proper workhorse for gaming and creative projects.
  • Intel Core i9: The top dog. It’s a complete powerhouse for when you need a load of cores or a super-fast, responsive workflow.

Why an Intel Core i5 could be your best bet

Intel Core i5 models tend to offer a great balance of speed and value for money. With higher clock speeds and a moderate power draw, they stay cool and won’t have your energy bill going through the roof. Perfect for your household budget and our often-compact spaces.


When an Intel Core i7 comes into its own

If you're into gaming, editing videos, or running a load of programmes at once, you’ll want to look at the Intel Core i7 CPUs. More cores and boost speeds mean you get faster render times and smoother gameplay, especially if you're building with DDR5 RAM or a decent mid-tier graphics card.


For serious performance: Intel Core i9

When nothing but pure performance will do, the Intel Core i9 is the one to get. Enjoy heavy-duty video editing, livestreaming, or advanced rendering with ease. It’s built for people who push their PCs to the absolute limit, and it handles it all without breaking a sweat.


Why a new Intel processor is a safe bet for your build

The latest Intel CPUs support all the modern tech you'd expect: PCIe 5.0, DDR5 memory and smarter power tuning. That means your new PC will not only run brilliantly today but will also be ready for tomorrow’s software and games.


Need a hand picking the right one?

Not sure if the i7 is worth the extra cash, or if the i5 has enough grunt for your games? Our team can walk you through the options. Let us help you find the chip that's the perfect match for your needs, your motherboard, and your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions About Intel Processors

The Intel Core i9 is more powerful than the i7. They tend to have more cores and threads, a bigger cache, and faster boost clock speeds. One major thing to remember is that i9s also chew up more power, run hotter, and cost a significant amount more. If you're not into demanding creative work or pushing games at 4K on ultra settings, an i7 offers more than enough performance for most people.
Intel processors are typically divided into tiers based on performance. Pentium / Celeron is for entry-level stuff, perfect for basic web browsing and office work. The Core i3 is a good budget-friendly choice, spot on for home, school, and everyday tasks. For a proper mid-range option, choose the Core i5. Ideal for gaming, multitasking, and working from home. Core i7 is for high-performance stuff. Great for content creation, streaming, and advanced multitasking. Every enthusiast's choice is the Core i9. Best for professional workloads, 4K+ gaming, and serious rendering.
For most casual users, the Intel Core i9 is complete overkill. It's designed for proper professional workloads like 3D animation, machine learning, or 4K video production. That said, if you're running demanding creative software or you want the best frame rates in AAA games at high resolutions, the i9 does offer a noticeable performance jump, especially when you pair it with a high-end graphics card.
The Intel Core i7 line first came out in 2008 with the Nehalem architecture. It's been updated a load of times since then, from Sandy Bridge and Haswell to the latest Raptor Lake (13th/14th gen) chips. The current i7 models, like the 14700K, are hugely capable, offering up to 20 cores and strong boost speeds over 5 GHz. So while the name is old, the tech under each i7 changes every year or two. Always check the generation (e.g., i7-12700K is 12th gen) to get a feel for how modern it is.
Modern Intel Core i9 processors can handle a significant amount of RAM. The 12th and 13th Gen (Alder/Raptor Lake) can take on up to 128GB of DDR4 or DDR5, depending on the motherboard. 14th Gen (Raptor Lake Refresh) can still handle up to 192GB, with some high-end boards enabling XMP/EXPO profiles for faster memory speeds. Just a heads-up: The maximum RAM you can actually use also depends on your motherboard's memory slots and form factor.
Not really. For everyday tasks like browsing, emails, Office work, video calls, and even a bit of casual gaming, a modern i5 gives you brilliant performance. Current i5s (like the 13400 or 14600K) have up to 14 cores and handle multitasking with ease. An i7 becomes more "worth it" if you're working with huge files or creative software (e.g., Adobe Premiere, Blender), streaming while you're gaming or running virtual machines or doing some heavy-duty multitasking. Otherwise, the extra cost of an i7 isn't often justified for just day-to-day use.
