Hi all,
So I'm looking to upgrade my +4 year old lower-end gaming laptop to a new lower-end gaming laptop.
My old laptop features an Ivy i7-3610QM (+ a GeForce GT 640M).
I'm currently looking at a replacement with a Skylake i5-6300HQ (+ a GeForce GTX950).
I know that the graphics will be a clear upgrade, but I'm not sure about the CPU.
This comparison shows a higher performance for my old cpu...

...while this one gives the win to the newer one

I really wouldn't want to downgrade on the CPU performance side, so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
