One does not brute force using 'Intel', at least not for another several years.

The rainbow table (fastest way to brute-force something) for a typical FIRST-generated password is potentially (96^20) entries long. (96 types of characters, roughly 20 characters in length). Divide that by 2,800,000,000 and you'll get how many seconds even the fastest ASIC processors can do it in.

You have much to read and learn, grasshoppa.
