Hi, I am looking to buy a laptop for HD video editing and I am wondering if a 4 core 1.9 GHz processor is going to be much better than a 2 core 2.7 GHz processor? Forgive my ignorance, but it is more processors, but slower?

Here are the comparisons:

Processor Type AMD A6-4400M
Processor Cores 2
Processor Speed 2.7 GHz
Processor Cache 1 MB L2

Vs

Processor Type AMD A8-4500M
Processor Cores 4
Processor Speed 1.9 GHz
Processor Cache 4 MB

Thanks in advance!

It is pretty low. 500$ range. The reason I ask is that there are two options and one laptop has the 2 core specs and the other has the 4 core specs. It sounds like the software might not take advantage of all cores making the more expensive option slower? Is this possible?

I usually edit with Edius...
