What about the new i7 processors from Intel? Should that be a priority for a gaming machine?
|
Even though recent games do not take advantage of the capabilties of the I7, you will have, if you opt upgrading, a new architecture that supports 12 gigs of ram, hugely increased performance in later game titles, which will take full advantage of the i7, increased performance overall. Some tests indicated that the I7 leaped 40% in performance gains as opposed to its present generation counter part.
In conclusion, it should be a priority for a gaming machine, because in the end it will eventually drastically increase fps.
