My Dad wants a new laptop for internet browsing and light office use. He was going to buy the cheapest version with a Pentium Dual Core. I told him to go with the next model up that comes with the i3 for $50 more.
Any thoughts on difference between the processors?
Both processors are dual-core but the I3 supports hyper-threading which means it looks to a lot of software like a quad processor. For most people it's probably worth the extra few quid as they'll get zippier performance. Gamers should probably be moving up even further as many games don't support hyper-threading so they probably need higher cpu density.
Effectively, dual-core means two cpus in the same package, I3 looks like four cpus to the OS but performs like three etc.
Could be mistaken matey but isnt hyper threading an i7 only feature?
Erm, yes
