2nd gen i7 vs 4th gen i5

Amaides · May 27, 2017

I want to buy a budget build with an old dell system. I was wondering which processor would be better an i7 2600 or a 4th gen i5. I want it to be overall good not just for gaming.

May I ask what processors in particular?

The i7 will have higher multithreaded performance, the i5 will have higher singlethreaded performance (unless it's one of the lowest-clocked 4th gen Core i5s). That means they'll trade blows from one task to the other.

Trafalgar747 :

The i5 is either going to be a 4670 or a 4570 and the i7 is the i7 2600 as i mentioned above

Sakkura :

Do you know which one will do better in gaming or will they be about the same?

There are some games that are heavily threaded and would run a little better on the i7. Battlefield 1 for example. But the majority of games would run a little better on the i5.

It's not a huge difference either way.
