3rd Generation is NOT supported, and most machines based on this would be 'out of warranty' or 'end of life', you wouldn't benefit but buying one. 4th Generation is the current Haswell chipset, which is made much smaller, better design processing, etc. in the same space as the old 3rd core. It is the current 'under warranty' and supported chipset, and as a long term...
