How much worse will 7200u vs 7300hq with gtx 1050?

[geraltof777]

Sorry for poor English. I am going to buy a laptop with 7200u and gtx 1050 (2GB). I want to play games like War Thunder, Path of Exile at high settings and GTA V, The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Watch Dogs 2 at medium/high. I am ready to lower the screen resolution to 900p at least.

I've watched some tests with gtx 1050 on youtube but the CPU they used was 7300hq. According to these test most of the heavy games could be played at 1080p with high settings fps was above 40. So does it mean I will get the same performance at 900p instead of 1080p with 7200U CPU?

Doubtful since the 7200u is a dual-core and the 7300hq is a full quad-core but lets see what the gaming experts think.

Quite the opposite, it'll perform worse at 900p than at 1080p. GTA V, I know, is a cpu hog, and WDs 2 is a poorly optimized piece of - !
You want to run high settings on some AAA games with a laptop dual core? It won't be smooth. Expect 30fps or less - those 2 extra cores on that 7300hq will make a difference.
