i5 vs H110 processor for business desktop
-
HP has a business desktop on State contract that has the H110 processor. (HP 280 G2 3.3GHz Pentium 4GB RAM 500GB HD - Z2G20UT#ABA) I'm having a hard time figuring out how this stacks up compared to an i5 processor for business applications. It looks like the H110 is only a dual core (so like an i3) but do the other features make it faster in real world tasks than an i5?

H110 processor
H110 is the chipset. Sounds like this is either an i3 or a Celeron. Looks like that HP 280 uses the G series so this would be a Celeron.

@coliver You're right. I should have been looking up i5 vs G4400

The G4400 is closer to an i3 I believe.

This is a Pentium, not an i3. Slightly different, but perfectly capable of running Windows and most of Office without much fuss.
"Office" use is subjective. Are they putting around on a website all day or crunching crazy piviot tables run from a local Access database?

@psx_defector I could count on one hand the number of users that I have that have heard of a pivot table...
In this case, by Office, I meant using 5% of the functionality of Word and Excel and having a bunch of web pages open. Rendering videos as they play automatically when scrolling facebook is probably the hardest thing the computer will be asked to do most of the time.I know there are all kinds of benchmarks out there, but it seems like the real world performance of the machine feels different than what the benchmarks say.

The G4400 will probably be fine for you then. It's a bit of a slouch but for what you're describing only the power users will notice.
