Gaming Rig advice: Dual Core vs Quad Core - Black Widow - 04-23-2017
I want a better computer to run freelancer on and maybe other games. I have narrowed the search down to two laptops, now let's pretend they are exactly the same except for the processors
Comp 1: i7 with 4 cores/8 threads at 2.4Ghz
Comp 2: i7 with 2 cores/4 threads at 2.9 Ghz
Which would be better for FL?

biggest test is in the graphics and RAM honestly. Although the i7 would be better imo

jokes on you, Freelancer doesn't support multicore rendering anyway

Based off this which comp\chipset would you go for?

3520 is the dual core and the 3632 is the quad core

freelancer will only use one core so you better check out performance per core and not overall , as for saying which one will be better it depends on performance and not the number of cores or frequency so..you have to give more details if you want actual advice
EDIT:
Core i7 3520M for freelancer
