[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1581602, member: 110816"] The i7 is way faster than your Core2Duo (or i3 in the new speak). Even though the 2.3 Ghz i7 might have a lower clock speed, it has 4 cores while your Core2Duo only has 2. Additionally, the newer generation of chips are much better than the previous generations. So even the Haswell i7 is going to be faster than the Ivy Bridge, for example, at the same clock speed.. [/QUOTE]
