E7500 or e8500

[arsalan12]

hello guys!! ok please tell me that which one is good for gaming e7500 or e8500? thanks

These are both obsolete. Save up for a new computer. I have an older computer with an E7500 wolfdale. It's ok for some older games, but don't expect it to play Battlefield 3 or anything. Most games coming out now need a quad core for best performance.

so is e8500 better than e7500? it has a 6mb cache while e7500 has 3mb i think

E8500 is the better of the 2, but as stated, they're both really out-of-date and will struggle with the newest titles already.

Yes e8500 is better. My HTPC has an E8500 and a GTX 460, it's fine for console ports, Dirt3, F1, and some older racing games, COD games, Starcraft 2 (although 4v4 can get choppy at end game when everyone has max units), even Crysis 2 at 720p runs ok. I haven't even bothered to try BF3 since my Q9650 struggles with it. Do you already have a socket 775 system that you are upgrading? If not there are certainly better options out there for a new build.

I also have an HP P7-1110 that uses a core i3-2120 which in itself is a pretty low end CPU and it does circles around my 7500. Being that the 8500 is only 160MHz faster than the 7500, the i3-2120 would wallop it too. Personally, I'd go for an i5 or better.

If you are stuck with a socket 775 motherboard, then get the 8500.
