    Hi
    I am trying to compare the performance of Core i7-820QM vs Core i7-920XM Extreme processors in a Sager NP 8690/8760. Is it really worth the additional $545?

    Does anyone have the wPrime (32M) benchmarks for the i7-820QM? I have seen the wPrime benchmarks for the 920XM but I cant seem to find the same benchmark for the 820QM.

    There was a discussion where someone mentioned their score.. As expected it was faster than the 720QM, slower than the 920XM. For some strange reason, searching is disabled right now but I'll see if I can't dig it up.

    My bad. I actually meant wPrime only.

    Thanks for the response.

    Mods : Can you update the title of this thread and change Super Pi to wPrime?

    No problem.. Just for future people and searching.. Here are all 3..

    720QM (*this was my score on an unstable 9860 that has been returned. I'll re-run this test soon, or if someone else has a valid test, please link to it.)
