Thanks for the reply.Yeah the 0.3 difference is okay for me.
The funny thing is that i thought core I5 versions will be quad core ones,since even the budget smartphones nowadays comes with quadcore processors.I checked Lenovo Z510 it features a 4200M.Does all the laptops in this range feature a dual core core i5.
4 physical cores in core i5 is pointless.
core i5s cannot go beyond 4 cores/threads.
It is always a 4 core processor no matter what.
Either:
a)4 real cores 0 hyper threaded ones.
b)2 real cores 2 hyper threaded ones.
Also, the architecture matters.....a lot. ARM Cortex mobile cores are nowhere in comparison to x86 cores of core i5.
