Is Intel Pentium fast enough?
As a verdict, we will say that the Pentium Silver N5000 is a good entry-level CPU and it’s fast enough for most users that will use it for casual and light tasks.

Should you buy a Core i3 or a Pentium laptop?
So, while you might be able to use the Pentium and save the $110 over the cost of the Core i3, we really believe that it might be penny wise and pound foolish, given how much snappier the performance of the i3 will be. Unless, of course, the Pentium is in a laptop with an SSD and the Core i3 is in one with a traditional hard drive.
What are the different types of Skylake-U devices?
This section contains all the devices built on Intel’s Skylake-U hardware, with 15W processors like the Core i3-6100U, Core i5 – 6200U/6300U , Core i7-6500U/6600U and all the other further launched iterations.
