    Hello. I don't know how to choose between these laptops. What makes a laptop faster over the other two from this list. 1 - Intel Core i3 2.5 GHz 2 - Intel Core i5 2.4 GHz 3 - Intel Core i7 2.2 GHz Again, from the list, if core i7 is faster than core i3 then how? Thanks for any input.

    This world is going to explode due to international politics, SOON.

      core i7 is faster in some applications which uses all processor/core. i3 currently supports dual processor both with dual core. This means running 4 2.5GHz clock at the same time. While i7 supports quad processor all with dual core. Means running 8 2.2Ghz clock at the same time. Again it varies with the application that would be using the processor. If the application is only using a single thread then the i3 is faster. If it uses multiple threads then i7 is faster.

        As Michael Reyes already said it depends on the use. This is what helps me to decide what would be a good upgrade: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html[^] Just be sure to know that passmark is a synthetic benchmark which means the actual performance in applications can be slightly different. However it is still a viable way to help you to decide what CPU to buy.
