Question: what is the difference between i3 7th and 8th generation?
Answer: Still, the 8th Gen i3 offers a performance gain over its predecessor, Intel's 7th Gen i3-7130U. ... By contrast, the new i3-8130U processor actually has a lower base speed of 2.2 GHz. But with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, the new i3 can speed up to 3.4 GHz. That's nearly 30% higher than the 7th Gen i3's peak.
