is an i5 does make an impact in gaming

aakarshan · Feb 5, 2014

So I'm going to buy a laptop it's (i5 3230M/6GB/1TB/2GB AMD 8750M)

So i am wondering if an i5 does make an impact on FPS while gaming(Mostly FPS Games)Because I'm getting a laptop with same card with an i3 3120 Processor.

Does an i5 will increase my Fps over i3?Then by what margin.

both cpus are dual cores with hyperthreading. the i5 is probably clocked faster than the i3 so it should get better FPS in most games, however the difference probably won't be that much (10% depending on the clock speed differences.)

Edit: I'm not too sure but I don't think i3s have turbo (I know they don't on desktops), so the difference might be a bit more. if the i3 is 2.3 ghz than it would likely be around 10% or so difference in framerate.

The Difference b/w price of these laptops is 140$ so which one to buy.Is i5 will really get me some good fps?

It really comes down to what GPU is in the systems, if they both have integrated graphics (Intel HD) they will be pretty much the same give or take a few frames.

The Card is DDR3 2GB 8750M CLASS 2 Graphics.

SimonGranstrom · Feb 5, 2014

You only linked one laptop, does the other one have that GPU too?

ethereal essence · Feb 5, 2014

all things being equal, you can save yourself the 140.00 and get the i3. the turbo boost would be nice but wouldn't make a big enough difference in the end. We are probably talking about 3-4 frames per second increases here.

Simon, he already said in his original post that the i3 has the same gpu.

Go for the laptop with the i3.

ethereal essence · Feb 5, 2014

the one with the i5 has 2gb more system ram which would be helpful in games. unless you're gonna bring the ram up in the i3 system, they are not equal. hard to say but the ram might be a problem. either way, it would be cheaper to get the i3 system and buy extra ram for it

RAM will be 8GB in Both laptop
Sorry to ask but will this laptop (i3) allow me to play BF4 and Crysis 3 on even low (1024 x 768 ) Resolution?

SimonGranstrom · Feb 5, 2014

Yes they will both handle BF4 and Crysis 3 on low settings, maybe even medium.

Thanks Guys.You Both.
