Someone care to explain how an old fogey like myself can tell recent processors apart? Back in my day a Pentium 4 was better then a Pentium 3 and a 2.4 Ghz was better then a 2.3 Ghz.

Now everything is is an I3/5/7/9 regardless of what year it was made and its now "generations".

Is the best way to tell by looking at a I7 12th gen being better then a I7 13th? Do GHz even matter anymore?

Those are leds, incandescent are the gas filled bulbs that can take a range or anywhere between 25watts to 100watts. They were chosen over longer lasting bulbs because of the bulb industry able to profit off the sale of.

Realistically a standard house hold incandescent bulb used 60watts.

6x60 is 360 I obviously exaggerated.

It is more like 4 to 11 incandescent bulbs.
