The Intel Core i7 Processor is a top of the line quad-core processor. The games you're referring to are probably referring to dual-core processors. A 1.73 ghz i7 is significantly faster than a 2.4 ghz i3. Don't worry, you're good to go.
The AMD FX CPU's have many cores, which are weaker. intel i5's have less cores, which are stronger. The intel's consequently have better performance per core. In older games, the intels perform much better as those games are optimised for good performance with only a few cores (single-threading).In newer games, the AMD FX's really shine due to the introduction of games using more cores (multi-threading).he intel's consequently have better performance per core.
