P150EM with i5 3210m and 7970m gaming performance ?

Hello

i want to know how is gaming performance of clevo P150EM with i5 3210m ?

could you send me some 3dmark11 and 3dmark vantage performance with standard setting and standard clock ? (also some gaming performance)

excuse me if i begin this therad or sending my post wrongly

Thanks

 

could anybody help me ?

thanks

 

I didn't think you could get a P150EM with an i5. I've definitely never heard of one.

 

You can get them with an i3 if you want, but I can't really see the point of anything less than an i7. Why get a high end laptop with low end components?
The question is hard for anyone to answer as it's such an uncommon configuration. You may want to look at reviews for the MSI GX60 with 7970m and AMD A10 as it's the most comparable config.

 

Odd, all the resellers I've seen only offer the i7. And yeah, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to bottleneck the gpu just to save a couple hundred bucks.

 

i think the i5-3210m is probably a bit better than the A10-4600m

 

CPU performance is an important factor in games like BF3 [multiplayer mode], Hawken and morden games nowadays, getting an i5 will probably limit the utilization of GPUs like 7970M or GTX680M on those games. Might as well go for GTX660M if you are getting an i5.

 

its about a $50 upgrade to upgrade to an i7, so why would you even bother?

 

wouldnt recommend it at all pairing up a highend gpu such as the 7970m with a middle class cpu. notebookcheck recently had a laptop configured with an amd cpu and the 7970m and it turned out that the performance went down significantly, like 50%!!! (across ALL tested games)
pay the few extra bucks and get the cheapest i7 quad, u wont regret it

Definitely an i7 if you can. You'll get a quad core vs an i5 dual core, you'll get a boost in some games because of that and the quads are better for use outside of gaming.

 

The upgrade cost to an i7 is reasonable (as opposed to the $100-$150 gap in the desktop versions of the same CPUs), so I would say go with the i7 as well. The hyperthreading is said to not help one bit (arguably, it hinders gaming performance, but you can always turn HT off), but the extra cores and larger cache make a difference.

To answer your question more directly though, OP: the i5 is good, but the mobile version will bottleneck your performance some.

 

Most games you won't be able to notice, that's my experience combining an HD7970M with a 2310M

It's only specific titles that suffer at all to be honest.

 

AnandTech - AMD's Radeon HD 7970M: Ivy Bridge vs. Trinity Video

Theres a link to the Trinity + 7970 vs a 3720 + 7970. An i5 will be much closer to the 3720 than the Trinity. 3D mark scores should be the same, Vantage will show a bit of difference, games will vary depending on what you play. As someone mentioned BF3 multiplayer might struggle a bit more, I can't think of anything else that would take much of a hit though.

 

3dmark will be affected due to it's CPU test and combined test being so multithreaded but it has no bearing on real game performance except in the likes of BF3 multi.

 

I can't think of the i5 comparing to the A10 since the A10 is like 4 gimped cores, so if a game only uses 2 cores its only using basically 1 of the i5 cores(Non hyperthreaded of course) on an A10. I would think the i5 would toast the A10 in most games buy BF3 will really struggle on a dual core.

 

Not quite, especially for a game it's unlikely 2 threads will be able to be hyperthreaded well so they will run on both real cores, you will only ever get up to 30% with HT and it's unlikely with game threads where the gain can be near 0.
