comparation about processors

Hi all

I Need a help for this processors in same notebook configuration
8g DDR3
video GTX 670M

Who is better for PSCX2 ?

Intel® Core™ i7-2670QM Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.10 GHz)
Clock Speed 2.2 GHz 4 core 8 Threads
[/align]
Intel® Core™ i5-2450M Processor (3M Cache, up to 3.10 GHz)
Clock Speed 2.5 GHz 2 core 4 Threads

tho personally id say the i7 cos 4 cores will help greatly, this will probably not reflect on the test results we have as they are based on the emulator using 2 cores which the i7 will lose out over clock speed, but recent versions have the "MTVU" hack which make quite a dramatic difference on quite a few games.

Ok, now the PSCX2 using 2 processor for emulation. Is there any project on the emulator to use more processors to optimize? I have to perform any configuration for this optimization?

The i5 would only run @ 2.8Ghz with Turbo on two cores (when HT is disabled).

The i7 would run @ 2.8Ghz with Turbo on all four cores (when HT is disabled),
and could even see 3.0Ghz if Turbo Boosts for just two cores.

With the MTVU hack in recent SVNs, which works well with most games,
utilizing the additional 3rd core @ 2.8Ghz would definitely do better than on a (Hyper-)thread @ 2.5Ghz.

So it's not just additional cores/threads that you get with the i7,
it's also better clockrates all-around.

i have an i7 2670qm and its marvelous really, even runs mgs3 and gt4 fullspeed with no problems.

dont know about shadow of the collosus but it will do a good job either way.

@refraction
are those pcsx2 benchmarks are include some laptop-based processors?

i think i7 will do the trick since the SB model code is 2600~higher
i not sure if that card GTX670M will heat up so quickly because that is a near high-end mobile GPU

That is a horribly inaccurate way of determining anything...

due to concerns to i7's HT?

there are no problems with Hyperthreading, just fallacies based on benches from Vista and idiots using benchmarks that use core masking instead of logical preference.
