Anybody have an answer for me? LoL. I just wanna know if the upgrade to an i5 will change the performance in some of my games like black ops and things of that nature, I currently have a 2010 c2d mbp with the nvideo geforce gt 320m.
I would doubt it very strongly.
The CPU is more powerful, but the graphics are going to be the bottleneck
There might be a boost in certain things, like the speed levels load, but you are not going to see noticeable fps increase or have the ability to increase graphics quality.
It's even possible the game performance will go down, the intel chip is not strong on shaders, and will be using intel drivers, which have never been the most optimized.
