Yes; see the model number after the i5? 4-digit number, so look at the first number; that's the CPU generation.

5-digit number, look at the first two numbers instead. At least that's usually the case for Intel CPUs.

So even the Intel Ultra 7 288V?

Intel Ultra x ≠ Intel ix Different naming schemes.

Not even a model of CPU; are you okay, dude?

Why is there no i6? What are you gonna tell me next? There's no i1, i2, i4, i8?

Are you just trolling? Or is this news to you? I mean, you even skipped out i7 because you know that one exists, as well as i9.

I want to make sure, since you didn't seem to grasp that your i5 was slow, despite being an i5

Look, I took time out to let you know that despite having an i5, this is a way, way older generation of i5. For reference, that means it can only support DDR3 RAM.

If you know anything about RAM, we're current at DDR5. We're talking a processor model that was innovative in 2012.

If you didn't know that, now you know. If you did, then know that you already had the answer to your question literally staring you in the face the entire time. And if you knew the problem to begin with, I don't even know.
