3840QM vs 4900QM

[StockDC2]

Hello, as some of you may know, I traded my Alienware away for a MBP. What you might not have known is that I have another, an AW M14X R2. I was looking through Dell's new AW 14's and was wondering how much of a performance difference there is between a 3840QM and 4900QM. I was looking at some benchmarks and it looks like the 4900QM is barely faster?

Yes. At that level of CPU power the cooling (does it throttle) and BIOS (is it allowed to run at max clocks) are far more important. But there will be a minimal difference between the two.

Awesome, thanks for the response. Feels great knowing that my CPU isn't too outdated just yet.
