You would accually be supprised, i dont know about the clock speed, but a i3 will only run minecraft at around medium setting at 60 fps, which is totally playable. Heck, i ran at low setting @ 23 fps on my "craptop"

ahhhhh kk the i3 i tryed was at like 2.4ghz, Minecraft is hevely dependent on clock speed. minecraft uses 2 cores and basicly anything above 3.2ghz is can run at max. btw whats ur frame rate like?
