Hi everyone. Honestly I don't know a lot about computers. Im about to buy a laptop, and it has the i5 3210m. As I was reviewing it, it says it has 2.5ghz. On my home computer, I have a Intel duo e8400 processor that has 3.0ghz. My question is would i5 3210m be faster, or not? Plus, can I get your thoughts on this i5 thanks.
 
Yes it is faster. GHz is the processors clock rate but that doesn't deduct final speed. The Core i architecture is much faster than the Core 2. Also under load the i5's turbo is enabled giving it a 3.1GHz clock.
