Pentium 7,8 & 9
As of 3/14/2010, Intel's latest processors are the Core i series. The Core i series consists of the Core i3, Core i5, Core i7.
Dear friends, here, 3 represents......the no. of co-processors working/ attached with the main processor...:-) and similarly for I-5
surely intel Intel i7 if based purely on performance. But for bang per buck - then I still go with AMD their 3 cores processors are well priced & offer good value at the moment.
I'm not sure about the third one, but I know two of them: LGA1155 LGA2011
No. The iPhone OS is compiled for ARM processors. Macbooks use Intel processors. Also, there is no touchscreen on a Macbook, so you'd have no way to control / use it.
Yes. Linux has been ported to over a dozen CPU architectures, such as PowerPC, SPARC, Alpha, MIPS, SH-3, SH-4, ARM, and the Motorola 68k. P.S. - AMD processors are considered Intel-compatible.
Neither. The PlayStation 3 uses a Cell processor, developed by IBM, Sony, and Toshiba. It is similar to PowerPC processors that were used in pre-2005 Macs.
Intel Core i7 is a family of several Intel desktop x86-64 processors, the first processors released using the Intel Nehalem microarchitecture and the successor to the Intel Core 2 family. All three current models and two upcoming models are quad-core processors.[1][2][3][4] The Core i7 identifier applies to the initial family of processors[5][6] codenamed Bloomfield.[7] Intel representatives state that the moniker Core i7 is meant to help consumers decide which processor to purchase as the newer Nehalem-based products are released in the future[8]. The name continues the use of the Core brand.[9] Core i7, first assembled in Costa Rica,[10] was officially launched on November 17, 2008[11] and is manufactured in Arizona, New Mexico and Oregon, though the Oregon plant is moving to the next generation 32 nm process.

It means you have a Dual Core (or Core 2 Duo) processor. Think of it as two processors packed together as one unit. Most software today does not yet take advantage of dual core processors.
There are WAY more than 3 brands of processors... Here is an incomplete list: Intel AMD POWER PowerPC Sun SPARC HP (PA-RISC) ARM VIA Motorola and more!
