The processor is the engine behind your computer processing critical information and instructions.
The speed at which your system runs programs, loads pages, and downloads files depends in part on the processor. Bandwidth, clock speed*, and the number of cores in the processor all help determine processor performance.

Meet the Intel® Evo™ Platform
At the heart of the Intel® Evo™ platform is the 11th generation Intel® Core™ processors with Intel® Iris® Xe graphics.
However, the Intel Evo brand signifies much more:
It means the laptop has undergone deep co-engineering efforts between Dell and Intel.
It means rigorous testing to ensure a premium standard of performance on size, weight, performance, connectivity, and user interactivity.
It means you get a verified extraordinary experience anywhere you go.
The Intel Core processor family spans several generations of processor upgrades. There are 3 basic family generations of note. Usually the greater the number, the later the generation. For example, 11th gen is newer than 9th gen and 10th gen. These correspond to improvements in process technology and features to allow for more sophisticated applications such as virtual reality, gaming and office productivity.
The Intel Core processor family contains Intel's most feature rich, highest-performance processors for business and consumers. There are three levels of Intel Core processors represented by i3, i5, i7 and i9. The difference between these levels is features (or amount of a particular feature such as amount of cache) present in the processor. The Intel Core i9 processor is the most feature rich, the Intel Core i3 processor the least.
Clock speed, measured in megahertz (MHz) and gigahertz (GHz), represents how fast a processor moves. It's calculated by the number of clock cycles managed per second.
