DonaldJTindall Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I am considering the purchase of a laptop to be used primarily with the FSX Gold Edition and Acceleration Expansion Pack. I read the review article regarding Tiger Moth in PC Pilot (issue 90). For that review the Intel Core i7 4710 MQ was used. Would I experience a significant difference with the 4810MQ or even better with the 4910 MQ? Also, would the addition of a 120GB mSATA SSD improve performance significantly? Thank you for your interest and help. Don Tindall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxsttcb Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 http://ark.intel.com/compare/78931,78937,78939 Note the highlighted rows. There isn't much difference in specs other than price and speed. With a 300MHz advantage, the 4810 should give a decent performance increase over the 4710. With an additional 100MHz, combined with the 33% larger cache, the 4910 is most desireable. FSX is CPU centric.
