Is 2mb of additional processor cache really worth the money?

custom laptop for video editing image

Kalle

Within a month i'm going to buy a custom built laptop and i'm wondering wether or not it's worth spending an additional 200⬠in order to get the i7-3820QM instead of the i7-3720QM? How much a performance increase would this really bring? I'll be using the PC for gaming, light video rendering/editing, and photoshopping. Wich processor would be best suited?

Answer
Go with the 3720QM. The 3820 gives you 2.7GHz (as opposed to the 2.6GHz of the 3720), and extra 2MB of Cache. That isn't worth it, in my opinion. It won't make a huge increase of performance.

Will handle playing games on high settings, as well as video editing with ease.

Seriously how do you answer a question where you give no budget?
Why would you think to make a recommendation we wouldnt need your budget?

EDIT:
3000-5000 USD? O.o
