Am thinking about another Laptop again, I have a choice between these 2 CPU's (There are others but these 2 are all I'm interested in):
2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-3820 Processor ( 10MB L3 Cache, 3.60GHz / 3.80GHz in Turbo Mode, 4 Cores ) [-$300.00]
2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-3930K Processor ( 12MB L3 Cache, 3.20GHz / 3.80GHz in Turbo Mode, 6 Cores )
Heat would be my major concern though, the Laptop is a Sager NP9570 which has probably some of the best Cooling on the Market:

So which CPU would you go with, both have HyperThreading 8 Threads v 12 Threads but I don't know if I would be able to use either because of the Heat so 6 Straight up cores @ 3.2 GHZ might be better than 4 Cores @ 3.6 GHZ, both go to 3.8 GHZ with Turbo Boost ... Decisions Decisions ... :)
