Hi all, I'm looking at getting my next Thinkpad from Lenovo and it offers 3 processor options. What stumps me is that for once, the processor with the fastest Ghz (but smallest L2 cache) is the cheapest.
I went to the Intel site to do a comparison and frankly I'm confused.
Here is the link to the Intel processor comparison: http://ark.intel.com/Compare.aspx?ids=52237,50067,52227,
Lenovo has the i7-2720QM as the base price processor.
To upgrade to the i7-2820QM is an additional $180.
To upgrade to the i7-2920XM is $675 over the base price.
For the life of me I can't tell what makes the processors different/better. Can some kind person please shed some light for me?
Thank you.
