tldr; 1st gen core i3m @2.4ghz VS 5th gen core i3u @2ghz VS 4th gen corei3
.

I am looking to buy a new laptop. Are the new 5th gen mobile processors (i3's) any good ?

My previous one was a core i3-370m (first gen i3) , so thats my baseline performance.

My usage is general web surfing, MS-Office and casual/seldom movies.
In my budget, the processor i can get is core i3-5005u.
Is it good enough for my usage pattern?
Should i instead go for a 4th gen processor?

thanks for the reply!

Should i go for the 5th gen, or a 4th gen is better (battery life+ peak performance) ?

It actually depends on your requirement, if performance is what you need, get a 4th gen i3 with M or H CPU, they are the real CPU that gets you the best results. But if you need is battery life and less performance, get a 5th gen i3 with U CPU. Performance between U (the low voltage one) is about 50% only of the M/H (real mobile processor) CPU. Hope this helps!
