what is the difference between applea4 and intelcore?

That is a mistake in the listing. This computer does not have an Apple processor. It has an AMD C-70 1 GHz dual core processor

This is a quad core, not 8 core. Intel typically is a little ahead of AMD in terms of innovation, but at this price level, you probably won't be able to see a difference.

a10 is a APU x4 is a CPU. if your goning to run a dedicated gpu get the x4 if you dont want a stand alone gpu get the a10

The processor is not the same ....the old version has : CELERON and the new one: APPLE ..... and I do prefer CELERON . Besides it is a little cheaper and it works excellent . I bought a red one .

Speed and fourth generation Intel processor both has six core pretty much the same third generation verses fourth newer processor. Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 and Hyper threading Technology. i7 Extreme processor for gamer...

Hi, I have some Intel test comparison charts... - Itunes, the SU7300 and SU4100 perfomed equal - Excel, the SU7300 performed marginally better - for digital encoding and Photoshop, the SU7300 performed significantly better

Well, the core i3 is much faster in performance. I mainly use my macbook to surf the web, take notes for class, and do some note taking. I also use this macbook to write my books that I plan to publish.

I bought the 20inch 2.0 ghz iMac last week. I dont think an upgrade of the CPU is required but wont hurt. I went with a RAM upgrade as I am a developer (100 bucks only for 4GB). It gives good performance with 2.0 ghz CPU.

The 2 cores listed on the specs is most likely a typo. It is in fact a quad core i5.

A multi-core chip can execute multiple instructions at the same time. Dual cores have two cores, and quad cores have four. All the cores are on the same chip though. So, they share the same memory, and data path to the motherboard. So, a quad core chip may be able to execute the instructions four times faster, but that doesn't mean it can receive instructions from ram four times faster. Also, the faster a CPU is, the hotter it gets. Just because the CPU is a quad core doesn't mean it was set to run at the same gigahertz. Consider a manufacturer that wants to sell a 4 gigahertz chip, but the core keeps melting. One could sell a Quad core chip with each core set to 1 or 2 gigahertz and get increased performance, but still be running each core much slower. Therefore the chip no longer melts. Software has to be rewritten to take full advantage of multi-core processors. The operating system might provide a small automatic increase in speed, but you won't see a 4X increase in performance simply by switching to a quad core. Even if the software is rewritten it might not be 2X, or 4X faster because now the program may have additional instructions added for the sake of figuring out which core is going to access each part of the program. Got this from a google search.....

It's Intel Core i5-3317U CPU 1.7 GHz. It's really Fast and Sleek compare to MacBook Pro. A lot of complements for this laptop because of luxury black aluminium, thin and light :)

Google i7 vs i5 for differences. Mac makes them with I7, Amazon just doesn't carry them

Briefly, 2 cores, up to 16GB ram, 2M Cache, 1.10 GHz. Low power, but much faster than Atoms. (of course that may change.) Full specs here: http://ark.intel.com/products/56056/

Not really. If you are browsing the web and word processing I would go with 2.0 GHZ. I would use the extra money to buy the extended applecare or add more memory.

NOT GRAPHIC CARDS but built-in GRAPHICS, all 4th Gen Intel Processor has a powerful graphics built-in Intel HD 4400 almost similar to Apple Mac HD 5000R
