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.
How much faster are Intel Core i7 processors compared with Core i5 processors and are they worth the higher price? Core i7 processors perform better because they have more cache (great for repetitive tasks), higher clock speed (advantageous for CPU-intensive tasks like video encoding), and hyper-threading (for faster multitasking).
