T7300 or T7500

I'm about to buy a Sager NP2090 and am wondering if there is going to be a noticeable performance increase between the T7300 and the T7500 processors. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 

Unless you're editing videos or music, you won't notice the difference.

 

agreed. there will not be an appreciable difference in gaming. there would be a difference in encoding video or some other specific processor intensive applications.

 

I ordered mine with the 7500, then a few weeks later decided to downgrade it to the 7300 to save some money.

 

Get the T7300 and don't worry about anything. It will be more than powerful enough for just about anything, including gaming. The only thing the T7500 has more of is megahertz and more of those does not mean a whole lot in this day and age (I'm not saying they are unimportant, only that they are not nearly as important as other things - front side bus frequency, cache size, and of course the CPU architecture itself).

 

supposedly doesn't the gpu perform better if the cpu is better?

 

It's more likely that the GPU will bottleneck way before the CPU will. Like Chaz said, it really won't make much of a difference. But still the 7300 is much better than the 7100, because its 4MB cache and fast FSB.

 

i'm doing music editing... i will get the T7300 and wait for the extreme

 

so the FSB, cache, and architecture is actually more important than the cpu speed?

I'm asking because i am having a lot of internal conflict from not ordering the T7500 for $50 more from a T7300. I am contemplating returning my notebook for that upgrade...is it even worth it? thanks

 

games like crysis ARE cpu use depending though....

 

Much more dependent on the GPU, Crysis could multithread, but I believe that multithreaded applications are still too young to maximize CPUs to the fullest extent that the CPU, not the graphics card, becomes the bottleneck.
