hi, which processor is better for a gaming laptop? the Intel® Core™ i7-620M Processor (2.66~3.33GHz, 35W) w/4MB Intel® Smart Cache - 4.8 GT/s - 2 Cores, or the Intel® Core™ i7-720QM (1.6~2.8GHz, 45W) w/6M L3 Cache - 10Gb/s DMI I/O BUS - 4 Cores? i keep seeing their prices inverted.
Thanks.
 
The 720 is slightly better but both will perform about the same the extra cache and being a quad core helps the 720 game a little better. However on older games that cant take use of a quad core the higher clocked dual core will fair a little better. Either one will give good performance.

What games do you like to play the most.
