Which intel processor is good for MATLAB programming?

I am planning to get a light-weight Laptop, So that I can carry it to my University,everywhere.. But I do not have an idea about which processor to choose: intel Pentium/Atom/icore 3/icore5/icore 7.. icore7 is really expensive for light weight. I would use MATLAB for Image Processing,biomedical Imaging mostly.Need suggestions on good Laptops and suitable processor

Biomedical image processing sometimes includes Volume Visualization (for example, viewing a 3D model of a brain.) There are programs that are much more advanced at volume visualization than MATLAB is. If you do expect to do a bunch of volume visualization, that would be an important consideration for this purpose, as it requires higher end graphics than would otherwise be the case.

Are you expecting to be doing neural network processing of your data?

May be, in the future semesters. Because I am doing my first semester in MS Medical Photonics.

If you might need to work with deep trained neural networks, you would need an NVIDIA graphics card with Compute Capacity 3.0 or better (all current releases have that.)

@Francisco Molina comments to me

i was using my Nivida card which are Quadro. need to embedded new gpu chip and coder. needed to mod my gpu chips to latest verison.

@Francisco Molina

The marketing name Quadro was from early on in the NVIDIA product line, right up to the Quadro GV100 which is still being marketted by NVIDIA (newer Quardo exist, but are no longer being marketted.)

So unfortunatlely saying "Quadro" is not enough information for us to know what you had.

I would also consider AMD CPUs, because in my exerience, they are less expensive for essentially equivalent performance. (I personally prefer them.)

I suggest you look at charts such as https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+A8-6410+APU&id=2266 at the CPU Value (CPU Mark / $Price ) chart, and laptop CPU chart there.
