Hi everyone, i'd like to ask something.. (don't know if this is the right place to ask though )
Is an i5 3337U capable of playing games smoothly? (the laptop im looking at has gt730m)
(e.g assassins creed, tomb raider)
It doesn't need to be in high or ultra settings, medium to low would be good enough just need it to be playable and lag free

Your insight on this is highly appreciated

*bolded = I think it should be fine considering your expectation between medium to low

Thank you for replying! I really appreciate it, helps me clear some of the doubts I had

Another question, does the processor play a role in gaming?

Generally games' engine will choose GPU as it main source and CPU as its supporter/backup.

But some games utilize CPU relatively higher than most of the game - such as Battlefield 3.

how good is AMD elite A10 APU compare with intel?

AMD CPU is much slower than the Intel counterpart,
you can see how the CPU bottleneck the game, M17x R4 (AMD HD7970M) vs GX60 (AMD HD7970M)

seems like no improvement :'(

Most of the game drains the juice from GPU instead of CPU. Basically speaking, any i7-haswell is good enough to do its part in delivering maximum gaming experience as needed from game's engine.

But again, of course some game do depend on CPU to performed better

hie just wondering which is a better processor by comparison?


Intel Core 2 Duo T5270 @ 1.4 ghz vs Intel T2400 @ 1.8 GHZ

How do ppl mod until 4.0ghz??

laptop CPU and GPU ARE NOT TO MODDED...!

so all in all .. if i were to be say a hardcore gamer .. and a video editor ... would you still recommend me using i5 .. or just switch to phenom II ?

hello,

my current GT70 spec is core i7 4700MQ ,16 GB ram, GTX780m was thinking to upgrade my cpu to core i7 4900MQ and max up my RAM will it improve my gpu performance? let say 10-15%? or is waste money... (total cost cpu and ram upgrade is RM 2K)..

upgrade CPU from Illegear

Baytrail that is going to show up in tablet later this year.
By the look of it, this Z3700/3600 is quite a big jump from Z2760 now.
And can run Android
