i5 6300hq and i7 7500u speed

caseisih99OL · Feb 22, 2017

Is there any REAL noticeable speed difference between these two processors when doing things where 4 cores are not needed? Daily non-four core uses. Although the 7500u is 2.7 and the 6300hq is 2.3, does the four core make up for speed just because it's a four core or not? Say they both have the same graphics card. I know the 6300hq eats battery life fast! I know the 6300hq is more powerful otherwise.

The i7 will be somewhat faster in single thread programs such as games, but of course the i5 will be faster in multithreaded programs like rendering or photo editing.

HardwareExtreme :

So the i7 would be faster for daily real world computing in things that wouldn't require 4 cores? I like four cores onboard when needed but just trying to determine when not needed is there a big difference since the i5 is rated at 2.3 and the i7 is rated at 2.7? Am I losing speed at these times? Both would have SSD and good Ram.

Between those 2 i5 6300hq is clear winner. It have 4 real cores and more Cache.Most of new games easy use 4 or more cores so if you have to pick go with i5 wit will do you much better than this cut down version of i7 that is more like i3.

Ok, thanks for your help.

I am using i5-6300HQ at work and i7-7500u at home. Both 12GB of RAM. Although the CPU bench marks are pretty much similar or even i5-6300HQ seems better, i7-7500u is way way faster than i5-6300HQ.

I previously used i5-4310u at work. i5-6300HQ is not much faster than i5-4310u. I use Google Chrome, Outlook, Word, Excel, Microsoft Visual Studio, SourceTree, etc. at work (like typical software engineers). Both i5-6300HQ and i5-4310u are very slow and stressful to me for my work. Both computers often caused problems with VMWare Workstation Player.

I also have a computer with i7-4700MQ with 12GB of RAM. i7-7500u is even faster than i7-4700MQ. I compiled same source code with Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 on both computers. Since it contains multiple projects, compilations are done simultaneously in multiple threads. i7-7500u is always the winner even though it has only 2 cores where i7-4700MQ has 4 cores. Very interesting result.

But if I watch Xfinity TV on the Google Chrome browser and do some other things like Microsoft Word on i7-7500u, it gets very slow like snail. It's almost unusable. i7-4700MQ doesn't get that bad.

Quad core i7 will be the king. Forget about i5. If you want longer battery life over performance, i7-7500u is a good compromise.

Thanks for you help. Amazing you have those processors altogether.
