Laptop processors

[BlackJack93]

I want a better understanding about laptop processors.

There are Intel Core i7 dual core processors and quad core processors. There are no quad core processors for the i5 series on laptops.

How big will the difference be when playing games on the laptop with lets say a GTX860M graphics card.

Will I notice much lag or fps drops with a dual core i7 and the same graphics card than with a quad core i7 and the same graphics card. And what about an i5 with the same graphics card?

I just want to understand it better and want to know if it is worth it to buy an i7 quad core laptop or rather a waste to buy a dual core where I could have better.

And what laptop will you then recommend with a budget of R14,500.00?

There will almost definitely be a (possibly big) difference in FPS on a dual core vs quad core.

I'd recommend this: http://www.wootware.co.za/msi-gp70-2pe-479za-leopard-intel-core-i7-4710hq-2-5ghz-8gb-ddr3l-1600mhz-17-3-fhd-1920x1080-anti-glare-display-nvidia-geforce-gt-840m-2gb-ddr3-1tb-7200rpm-hard-drive-windows-8-1-single-language-64bit.html

Depends on the game. There will be a difference, but it shouldn't be massive on most games as long as it's a reasonably fast dual core.

Won't the dual core cause a slight bottlenek on some higher end games?
