Which one of these laptops would perform better for gaming?

[kenrickandbros]

I know you cannot run modern games on integrated graphics. But for older games which laptop would perform better:

Laptop A:
Intel i3-2370M (2 Cores, 4 Threads) @ 2.4Ghz
Intel HD Graphics 3000
4GB RAM

Laptop B:
Intel Celeron N2930 (4 Cores, 4 Threads) @ 2.16Ghz
Intel HD Graphics
8GB RAM

Laptop B by a wide margin. Laptop A's CPU was released back in 2012 and Laptop B's CPU was released back in 2014, so I would go with Laptop B, because it will have a better iGPU, thus allowing better gaming performance. Plus you have 4 cores and 8 GB's of RAM too

The iGPU is worse. See Intel's website comparison:

Laptop A's performance stomps Laptop B.

A Bay Trail CPU (Laptop B) can never outperform a Sandy Bridge CPU's (Laptop A) in games. The Celeron is so slow that it doesn't make sense giving it better graphics. The amount of RAM makes no difference in gaming with these specs and those 4 Bay Trail cores are slower than the Sandy Bridge cores.

Laptop A for sure. But if you want to play some seriously CPU heavy games like Arma or Dayz for example, you'd be better off finding a different PC.
