Which of the two processor is better for Dolphin emulator ?
i7 3612QM (2.1GHz, 3.1GHz turbo)
i5 2450m (2.5GHz, 3.1Ghz turbo)
The i7 model has lower clock speed (but have similar max turbo clock). So, if both operate at same frequency i7 would be slightly better because it is based on ivy bridge
However, as far as I know turbo don't always reach max (it depends on the heat I think ?) so, doesn't this mean the i5 will reach the higher turbo clock most of time because i7 produce more heat ? Correct if I'm wrong
Which one is better ? Please don't give any other suggestion because I'm getting those laptops for a good deal. Both laptops have same ATI GPU and RAM
