Best configuration?

[Freezanator]

Which of the 2 is the better configuration?

 

Combo 1:
- Intel Core i5-6200U @ 2.3 GHz, Turbo Boost up to 2.8 GHz

- Nvidia GeForce 940MX, 2GB GDDR5

 

Combo 2:

- Intel Core i5-7200U @ 2.5 GHz, Turbo Boost up to 3.1 GHz

- Nvidia GeForce 940MX, 2GB DDR3

 

Assuming the rest of the specs are exactly the same, which configuration would yield higher framerates in gaming? Thanks!

The better configuration is going used and getting an actual quad-core and decent graphics for about the same price.

Used laptops don't really appeal to me. Also, finding a true quad core in brand new laptops for under 2300 MYR (550 USD) is impossible. Sorry for not mentioning I was comparing laptop configurations.

Erm.. if it's possible here, it's possible anywhere. 

Take a look at used Thinkpad W530 and T430p, Elitebook 84/570w, etc

Businesses pawn off their used laptops in the bucketloads for cheap to claim it back in tax.

I've tried sourcing over on my local online store and I couldn't find such deals. Not to be rude, but strictly based on the first 2 configurations, which one would be more powerful?

i5 6200U with GDDR5. GDDR3 in a GPU is useless these days.
