Title: Computer Processor advice
Post by: nosey-p on December 14, 2011, 10:27:37 AM
Yes i know, yet another thread on laptops

What is the best Processor?

i3 or i5 for £50 extra or Pentium P6200

Is the Pentium P6200 the equivalent of Intel Core i5? Which is best?

Looking at Laptops at around the £400 mark

The i3 ones i have been looking at are around the £360/£380

The i5 ones are about the £430 mark with the P6200 somewhere in the middle   

Any advice would be appreciated 

Thanks

as a start for a good up to date price/performance chart for CPUs.

Generally, in the middle ground, you get what you pay for. If you can afford the extra for the i5, I would definitely go for it. You're getting around 40% better performance for that money.

I think the P6200 has been pretty much superseded by the Core CPUs now.

So the extra £50 is worth it.

Thanks
