In the context of laptops, “generation” typically refers to the release cycle of a particular series or model of processors that are used in the laptop.
The processor is one of the most important components in a laptop, as it performs the majority of the processing tasks that the computer needs to perform. Processor manufacturers, such as Intel and AMD, release new generations of processors every year or so.
Each generation of processors typically features improvements in performance, power efficiency, and features compared to the previous generation. The newer generations also tend to be more expensive.
