- 6 MB cache


Intel Core i7 (4th Gen) 4720HQ / 2.6 GHz
Max. Turbo Speed: 3.6 GHz

im going to be running trading software along with some large excel spreadsheets will there be a noticeable difference between the 2?

Yes, the skylake one is more powerful. But as you said you are not going to do heavy tasks, so get the 4th gen. It would be cheaper and still give you great performance.
