Re: [JAWS-Users] I7 and I5, Does it really makes any difference for jaws users?

[Audiobookfan]

I agree with Steve. It's been my experience that amount of memory makes 
a more noticeable difference in performance than does the processor when 
talking about multitasking those sorts of tasks.


I've also found that having an SSD makes a huge difference in speed of 
almost everything. Of course, none of these things will improve Internet 
sluggishness, but loading programs and switching tasks is much snappier 
with my 8 GB of memory and my SSD. And I have an I5 sixth generation 
processor.

You have other issues to consider:

First, amount of memory.

Second, type of hard-drive.

Memory is pretty self-explanatory.

In terms of hard drives, most laptops come with a 5400RPM drive; whereas 
desktops come with 7200RPM drives.  This, essentially, slows down the 
speed at which data is retrieved and transferred to your computer's 
processor and cache memory.

Re: [JAWS-Users] I7 and I5, Does it really makes any difference for jaws users?

[Scorpio]

You have to remember that there's a number of events that happen when 
processes occur.


In terms of applications, especially when talking about internet and 
Internet Explorer, depending on how much RAM you have, it will always run 
that stuff in sequential order, plus you have things that are being written 
to the hard drive, so if you have a hard drive that spins at 5200 rpm, as 
opposed to a hard drive spinning at 72 or 10,000 rpm, you'll get faster 
access times from the latter two, then the former.


It'll also depend on how much cache memory that hard drive has, so while you 
may have a really fast processor, all those things are still effecting the 
status of the computer's performance.


I'm not even getting into the transmission speeds of internet services, 
website access times, and other background applications that may be running 
in the background, such as Dropbox or the Send Space Wizard, or both, and if 
you've got One Drive on your computer as well, your hard drive is being 
accessed by those applications also.


Let's not forget Java, the Adobe sweet of products looking for updates, and 
your anti-virus and drive cleaners, especially if you've got professional 
versions of those programs that are always active, so, it's not as simple as 
just processor performance.


No matter what you get, an i5, or i7 processor, unless you've got thousands 
of dollars to spend getting better than average other stuff on your 
computer, you'll still get that lag after a while.

[Jason White]

Have you checked the memory usage? If it's relying on the swap file
extensively due to insufficient memory, this will negatively affect
performance.

Hi,
In this case, processor may not be the culprit; rather, it might be disk
usage, programs you're using and what not.

Re: [JAWS-Users] I7 and I5, Does it really makes any difference for jaws users?

[Jason White]

This is good advice. One area in which JAWS users may wish to consider their
system's CPU capabilities, however, is with OCR. It probably isn't a problem
if you're recognizing individual pages as they're scanned, but if you're
processing PDF files containing images of articles or books, it's starting
to become rather CPU intensive.

Re: [JAWS-Users] I7 and I5, Does it really makes any difference for jaws users?

[Joseph Lee]

Hi,
In the old days, the notable difference was how many processor cores you can
use on I7 versus I5, as I7 includes models with four processor cores.
Starting from 6th generation Core (Skylake), quad-core I5 models were
introduced, the biggest difference from I7 being lack of Hyper-Threading on
I5. For dual core models, there's really no difference except for faster
speeds and more CPU cache on I7.
Cheers,
Joseph

Re: [JAWS-Users] I7 and I5, Does it really makes any difference for jaws users?

[net bat66]

an i7 is overkill and draws down the battery faster.
unless you are an engineer designing a skyscraper or video and audio editing as 
your perfession you don't need it.

it adds very little to speed increases over the i5.
most of your programs only use 1 of the four core processors sometimes 2 at 
most.
