Which i7 mobile processor for Ableton 8 Suite?

[jensm]

Hi, I wonder if somebody can tell me which laptop processor works better with Ableton on Windows 7. I have the choice between
i7 620M - two physical cores, higher clock rate
i7 720QM - four physical cores, less clock rate.
So the question boils down on how good can Ableton Suite deal with multiple CPU cores. I probalby will also rewire to Reason.
Any opinions?

You might want to check the "Live 8 Performance Test" thread here on the forums, to see if you can find some real world results from each processor.

Indeed an interesting link. Thank you!
It seems that Ableton Live can use multiple physical cores efficiently. Makes my choice easier.
