How good about the core m? compare to i5 4200u, better or not? When will yoga 3 pro release?

Question

I had Yoga 2 Pro with i7-4500U before this. Performance is comparable. I tested several apps side by side when I first got this and almost no difference in response. Testers report that Core M throttles down under load when it heats up, but my use has not encountered any slowdowns.

Hi friend,
In terms of over all performance , yes Core M is much better than i5 and i7 because its smaller,thinner, and extremely power efficient ( MORE battery life). However, if you still have the yoga, I personally wouldn't recommend upgrading because you would not notice the difference that much.

The M series cannot match an i5 in performance. The benefit with an M series cpu is that they do not require a fan, so the manufacturer of the laptop can slim down the design.

It is not as good as the 4th gen Intel Processors. It is really clocked low and then throttled up for heavier use. Feels about 50% of i5 processor.

I had a Yoga Pro 2 i5 which easily out performs the M chip which I am returning today. My phone works better than this "ultrabook" lol

My reviews did a side by side comparison of the most current i5 U series and the M Core. You can answer your own questions fro that!

The computer is in the stores now!
