preferably i5 or i7, i dont even bother to look at i3, because based from my understanding, i3 is just a rebrand for dual core, which is in my opinion an ancient tech.

i5 sufficient enough for gaming

i3 = dual core with hyperthreading
i5 = quad core without hyperthreading
i7 = quad core with hyperthreading

didn't notice this is mobile computing section, details is different btw desktop/mobile procc. I will let other forumer answer you, since I'm no really know about mobile procc sweat.gif

Processor Physical cores Cache Size Hyper-Threading Turbo Boost Graphics Price
i3 2 3MB Yes No Low Low
i5 2-4 3MB - 6MB No Yes Mid-range Mid-range
i7 2-4 4MB - 8MB Yes Yes Best Expensive

Core i3: Basic users. Economic choice. Good for browsing the web, using Microsoft office, making video calls, and social networking. Not for gamers or professionals

Core i5: Intermediate users. Those who want balance between performance and price. Good for gaming if you buy an HQ processor or a Q processor with a dedicated graphics processor.

Core i7: Professionals. This is the best Intel can do right now

I'm closing this thread if it's answered.

TS should have done a little googling first...
