Hi all,
I am about to buy a new Macbook Pro and am a bit puzzled as per the processor choice: I am thinking of these two options: (1) i5 at 3.3 gHZ, turbo boost to 3.7 gHZ or (2) i7 at 2.5 gHZ, turbo boost at 4 gHZ
There is a huge gap on the turbo boost range, with the i7 "turbo boosting" on a 1.5 gHZ range...
Most of the time I would use the computer for office applications (web browsing, text editing, etc.), with a heavy emphasis on multitasking (tens of tabs open at the same time, tens of documents). And some of the time I would do a bit of gaming, when plugged to an outlet (so power consumption a non-issue).
I am more concerned with the gaming bit (I know very well: this is a not a gaming rig, but I may still be interested in using it this way some of time): am I right to assume to that the 4 gHZ on the i7 will not be available all the time and that I may therefore be better off with the i5, even though it only goes up to 3.7?
Any other take on my issue
?
