Answer 2

On computers under Windows, the difference in speed between Core 2 Duo and Core i5 is very noticeable, at times.
Yes, just like the link @iiiBird
PS I remembered that I still have a backup (spare) laptop on Core 2 Duo - I did the maximum possible upgrade (4G memory + SSD) - it makes no sense to sell for a penny, it lives in the role of a country house, for guests, back up just in case. Compared to the second one, it is also not very fresh, but quite relevant, i5 4210U laptop (12G, SSD after upgrade) - heaven and earth.

Answer 3

Core 2 Duo is a rare junk. It is extremely slow by today's standards.
In general, the expediency of buying both options for money is doubtful, except that they are given away for free.

Answer 4

How I feel sorry for the poppies.
Here in the discussion for some reason they touched on Windows, then go to your favorite hardware store, make a request for a processor with an l3 cache of more than 32mb ,
it will almost certainly be AMD Ryzen 5-3500X Matisse, 6C / 6T for 11t.r. and next to it is his older brother AMD Ryzen 5-3600 Matisse, 6C / 12T for 15t.r. , both 3600MHz 32Mb TDP-65W SocketAM4, any other options will be inadequately more expensive with comparable performance.

13443 your intel i5 costs the same order, but will give 1561 in one thread, and 2505 in multithread
The disadvantage is that there is no built-in video card, the question is + 5-7t.r. for an initial gaming video card (or take the one for mining without a guarantee)
If anything, you can spend a comparable amount on a beautiful desktop case

Answer 5

Core i5 is three times faster
