CPU i3 - performace difference??

[maverick3000]

Whats the performace speed difference between a
Intel® Core™ i3-350M (2.26 GHz)
to
Intel® Core™ i3-370M processor

Only major difference I can see between these laptops is it worth the extra £130?



thanks for any help

Remove the competitor links please, this is after all the forum for a website selling computer components. Someone will be along soon who actually knows the answer.

Only difference is the default speed, looking at the Intel website it shows no other differences.

would you say its worth the extra £?

what about paying an extra £130 for a Core i5-450M (2.4 GHz)
Sorry I have really limited knowledge on the new CPU's

The i5 450M is still only a dual core it just has turbo boost and a few other minor features over the i3's.

For a laptop I would just get the i3-350M and save £130, or if you plan to use the laptop for gaming then you'd be better off spending the £130 on getting a laptop with a dedicated ATI/NVidia GPU.

Go with the 350m, the extra £130 only gets you a higher clock speed, and the i5 only really has turbo boost as mentioned above.
