What is important? Well, the biggest factor is the core architecture, I'd think. You'll get much better performance out of a Sandy Bridge than a Clarkdale or Gulftown. The amount of cores is pretty important too. A dual core Sandy Bridge will generally outperform a single-core Sandy Bridge. The operating frequency(ghz) can make a difference too. A dual core Sandy Bridge at 3ghz will perform better than the same processor at 2ghz. 50% better since it's a 50% increase in frequency? No. Hyperthreading can also make a difference if you're running bots. Huge difference? Not likely.
There's a little bit of info. There's no one specific factor that makes one processor better than another, but a combination of many. You could literally fill a book with every little detail about how processors work and what makes some better than others. I'm sorry you view my posts as insulting, but I also know a lot of people do not like to be told when they do not know what they're talking about.
thanks m8. i appreciate your perspective. i never heard about architecture and such so that is good new intel for me.
i never claimed that i knew what i was talking about because this whole thread is saying i don't lol...cuz i DONT. haha.
anyways i really appreciate your input.
i am getting closer to getting a new laptop so all advice is great.
if you have any more let me know. i dont even know how to decipher between architectures and stuff when shopping for a lapttop so im not even sure if i can include that in my hunt lol. but i appreciate it nonetheless
