New i7 Mobile CPU

Have you heard of little something called "benchmark"
It's not what we think - it's what the facts are

I think they are ground breaking. I think the Turbo Boost is great. The QX9300 will do close to the 920XM in quad threaded apps. I would say that for real world short of a stop watch yea you could not really tell. But on a dual or or single threaded the 920XM would crush and I think real world you would notice if demanding.

But to be very honest 90% of us do not do things that even push a dual core above 2Ghz. How much faster can office be? Or browsers? I mean yea they can be faster but is it the CPU that is really the issue? I think RAM is usually the real issue and other times just bad coding.

Look at my specs. Yea I want an i7 I am intrigued by the G73 that has. Do I think it will improve my user experience other than gaming? No, real world my CPU has plenty of power for what I do and what most do.

But I do love improvement and I think the i7 is the biggest jump since multi core. So that means maybe bigger than dual to quad even?

So don't replace your QX9300 unless it is about keeping up and not about real need.

Lets see what others think? Those are my thoughts.

Edit: moonland what bench is that? I like that site and the most complete in many ways for GPU's. And on the 920 vs the 9300 not really having disagreement. But on some others yes. Just like with them and GPU's. One must be very careful as to what a bench really says or mean. For CPU only I favor PassMark CPU stats over all others at this time. But I still need to consider what they mean as to each CPU?
