I have to compare these two mobile cpus. I'm confused because the benchmark results for the latest core-i5 or even 2nd generation are way too above the old core-i7. How much difference will it make with two additional cores in core i7 but low benchmark results and old technology?
for example if I can have
which one should I go for.
Considering there would be much difference in laptop class, like 'elitebook' vs 'inspiron', also in money '58000' vs '73000', tech age '2009' vs '2012', number of cores 'four' vs 'two', generations '1st' vs '3rd' and category 'i7 (advance)' vs 'i3 (basic)'. Where to strike balance?
for example if I can have
- - HP Elitebook 8540w with core-i7 720QM and 8GB RAM and 1GB Quadro 1800M for Rs. 58,000 (used)
- - or Dell Vostro D3550 core-i5 2520M and 4GB RAM and 1GB Radeon HD 6630M for Rs. 64,000 (new)
- - or Dell Inspiron N5520 core-i7 3632QM and 8GB RAM and 1GB Radeon HD 7670M for Rs. 73,000
which one should I go for.
