Hi there,
I guess the subject pretty much says it all. I'll be using the thing for Virtual machines, gaming, text, well, anything and everything. As it currently stands, I'm leading towards the AMD that goes between 2.7 and 3.6 GHZ, not to mention my current Intel is absolutely horrible. Enabling 3d on a game, is enough for core temp to give me a temperature notification. Having said all this, would the AMD work fine for what I need it, or am I better off sticking with Intel? I mean, I found Intel for the same price as well, but given that I found I7s that go up to 3.8 GHZ, and this thing goes up to 3.6, it's obviously stronger than an i5. I'm slightly confused about single threaded and stuff like that, which is yet another reason why I'm not sure whether this would work for me. Everyone who I know has Intel, I had an AMD once, but we're speaking of 2009, so that won't help here. This is supposed to be the latest AMD, against 8th or 7th gen I5. Again, I am finding nothing of what I'm after on google. No one goes out on specific issues. I mean, I heard AMD is known for over heating. OK, so how bad do they over heat? Again, I can't find nothing at all. I know people always tell me to not buy AMD in laptops, but would these premium end of AMD still over heat, or just flop over and die? Lenovo seems to be having good deals around, so storage and RAM doesn't matter, nor does price. my only fear is AMD, but if it works fine, then I wouldn't think about it at all. It's just the lack of AMD knowledge, and user information, that I'm failing to locate. so any help will be appreciated.
