Intel core i3 7th gen vs Intel core i5 4/5 gen for Gaming

Hadi Ahmed · Aug 3, 2018

Hey guys i ve been in a lot of confusion regarding this
can you help me decide which Processor will be better for gaming and compatible with Gtx 1050 2gb

All will work with a GTX 1050 as long as there is a pci slot. Now. Onto performance, an i5 4690k will outperform any of the 7th gen i3s because it is true 4 cores, while the i3 is dual core with hyperthreading. If you can get a good deal on a 4690k then I would take it, they overclock decently too

How much a I5 4590k would cost right now with 8 gen releasing

nkscheller · Aug 3, 2018

the i5-4590 (non k version) is around $250. after a quick search I couldn't find a k version

nkscheller :

Why is the 4th gen still expensive when 8 gen will cost the same

i also searched it and its still 250$
why :??:

TBH if you want an i3 go for 8th gen. they are true quad cores now while boasting nice clock speeds and cost is lower. (assuming it is compatible with your chipset ofc)

Get one used. They dont really drop prices new because they just stop producing them.

If you are buying used, you need to compare the specific processors.

If you are buying new, go with the latest 8th gen intel.

Games depend a lot on the single thread performance.
Look up the single thread passmark ratings for each of your options to get some idea of the performance differential.

Also, realize that the "K" suffix processors can be overclocked with a suitable motherboard.
That is a potential 20%+ performance boost over stock.
