Is the i5 7600 signifigantly better than the 7500?

ConslePeasant · Jun 5, 2017

I am just curios if I should spend the extra money to get the i5 7600. I am on a relatively tight budget so I looking for the best price for performance. If this influences anything the MOBO I am going to buy is the B250m mortar.

The 7500 is the way to go , save the money. B250 Mortar is a great choice.

Get the 7500.

Well it is significantly better, but if you are on a tight budget, no point in getting it. An AMD build me be more suitable.

Boosting 3.5GHz to 4.1GHz vs 3.4 to 3.8.

Not significantly better IMO. 4.1 / 3.8 = 8% "faster" from a clockspeed standpoint. If it's any more than 8% more expensive (usually is), then there's some decent diminishing returns there too.

The 7500 would be fine for most uses (and if you're only a budget, you may with to consider the dual-core w/hyper-threading G4560), depending on your needs of course.

Its got a good bit better boost with good cooling. Tho you should get the 7600K over the 7600 with z270.

Yes save money, but if the user want the best Locked i5 CPU Performance - He should went for the Intel i5 7600

I think its on sales USD $200 Newegg.
