Hi everyone,
I have noticed that i5 sandybridge releases for laptops are all dual-core ( with hyper-threading ), they fall around 2.5 Ghz clockspeed. Having used Wolfdale processors for quite some time e5300 to e8400 [ 3.0 Ghz ], i was not particularly satisfied with it's multi-tasking performance.
That being the case, should I expect better performance from the laptop i5's than the old Wolfdale's ? [ In particular, perhaps someone may know from firsthand experience how an i5 2410m performs compared to an e8400, assuming both have same gpu, at 4 Gb RAM ]
Thanks,
