    I am considering purchasing a Dell Studio 1557 laptop with an i7-820 @ 1.73GHz.
    However, I currently have a Dell XPS Studio 16 with a T9800 @ 2.93GHz CPU, and reading all the articles and posted benchmarks I'm not entirely convinced that this new i7-820 laptop will be that much faster than my T9800 laptop.
    Any comments, or better yet, actual 3DMark Vantage scores to back up one way or another?
