Sometime I hate upgrading.
Cant decide if there will be any benefit to going to the i7-3520M vs i5-3320M.
This is in a laptop config so the rest of the system is same between the two i'm looking at, the price difference is about $180
About the only difference that i can see on ark.intel.com is i7 2.9/3.6 turbo 4m cache vs i5 2.6/3.3 turbo 3m cache
Usage: primarily my work machine so, general office stuff, VM Management, light vm's on the machine itself.
Plan is to also add a ssd to the machine once I get it as well
Im leaning more towards the i5 just because it is cheaper and I don't think I will really see much difference
