Hello all,
I just started work and received and HP EliteBook with an 8th generation i5, my previous old computer was a HP Pavilion with an 8th generation i7. The EliteBook is much faster, although it has definitely seen more usage, has not been constantly been placed on a cooling rack like mine, and I completely factory reset mine every year, why is that?
Also please note I have went to benchmarking websites and have seen that the processor on the i7 should be faster (i7-8565U vs i5 8265U).
Thanks!
Edit: They both have SSD’s and both have 16GB of ram, the Pavilion has an MX250 GPU while the EliteBook has a UHD 620 onboard graphics

Hi!
I’m guessing since it’s compared within the same generation, it’s true that the i7 is faster.
Both has the same 4 cores 8 threads, but i7 has more cache.
Then i was curious about the specification (not sure if it’s the latest spec), both runs an SSD, so it’s down to RAM.
The elitebook has more options on how many GB of RAM you wanted(8/16/32 GB), but the pavilion only has 8 GB of RAM.
My guess is, even though the HP EliteBook has an i5, it has higher RAM which it can process more task compared to the hp pavilion with i7 and 8GB of RAM. Maybe you can add another 8gb of RAM into the pavilion and it could be faster than the elitebook.
