Ask me anything about computers

<p>Hi! Soo my question…
What are the pros and cons of the following two processors? I don’t really know how the differences between them affect performance, or what the differences mean for that matter</p>

<p>Intel(R) Core™ i5-450M Dual Core processor (2.40GHz, 3MB L3 Cache)with Turbo Boost up to 2.66 GHz</p>

<p>Intel(R) Core™ i5-520M Dual Core processor (2.40GHz, 3MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 2.93GHz </p>

<p>The latter costs $100 more.
And also, is an i5 a good enough processor for an engineering student who will use a laptop for mostly multimedia and light gaming? My guess is yes
Thank you!!</p>
