PassMark CPU Benchmarks - New Laptop CPUs Performance

See if you can find something with an Intel i3 processor in your price range.

The i3 Passmark scores seem to begin around 3000 and go up from there.

They are a step up from the dreaded Celerons.

 

Windows 11 does not support Intel Core i3 7th generation

You're asking the wrong question, my friend. The correct question is: Why doesn't the Intel Core i3 7th gen processor support Windows 11? And the answer is: Because it lacks hardware features needed to run Windows 11 without crashing.

If you want to know why it lacks the hardware features needed to run Windows 11 without crashing, the answer is that Intel's 7th generation processors were designed before Microsoft designed Windows 11.

It is possible to run Windows 11 on a processor that doesn't support Windows 11. But if you do that, you run the risk that Windows will crash - which is what Microsoft discovered when it was testing Windows 11 on 7th generation processors. And if Windows 11 crashes on your processor, there are no official solutions, because Intel didn't design that processor for Windows 11.

So while you can run Windows 11 on your processor, I hope you'll understand why Microsoft is unable to give its approval in that case.

You may ask the perfectly legitimate question: Why doesn't Microsoft simply change Windows 11, so that it will run successfully on Intel's 7th generation (and earlier) processors? And the answer is: The most critical improvement in Windows 11 is its ability to fight off the current generation of malware. It would be irresponsible for Microsoft to weaken Windows' defenses to make it compatible with older hardware. It wasn't Microsoft's choice to exclude older hardware from Windows 11. Rather, its hand was forced by today's malware writers.

 

Intel core i3-7100

In the test for windows 11 it's telling me that I have the Intel core i3-7100 and is not compatible with windows 11. But it is on the list to be compatible with windows 11. So why am I getting this message.
