Intel is the world’s best Processor manufacturing company and also very well known as the inventor of x86 series of microprocessors which is found in more Personal Computers. Big giant companies like Apple, Samsung, HP, Dell and many more Computer manufacturers uses Intel Microprocessor for building the best Computers for their customers. Apple believes that Intel produces the best Microprocessors for an enhanced performance which is better than other chipmaking companies. Intel’s production also involved in manufacturing their best class software drivers and hardware devices for communications and computing, Intel’s hardware device manufacturing include Network Interface Controllers and Integrated Circuits, Graphics Processing Chips, Flash Memory, Embedded Processors, Intel Processors (Computer CPU) and etc.. Intel also recently released its own free app development software with the support of HTML 5, CSS, and JavaScript for Smartphones and Tablets which is called as Intel XDK. But in this article other than software or other than communication, we are going to look at the Top 5 Best Intel Processors in the market now (updated on February/2016).
