Hi I'm looking to buy AIO pc for my work that will include working on accounting softwares etc. I was wondering which processor would be better for me 3rd gen int core i5-3330s vs i7-3770s? Rest of the specifications are same between both the computers .

For your needs both are more than enough, the upgrade to the i7-3770 would not really help.

Whats the price difference like?

Thanks for the reply. Actually both of them are dell computers and the one with i7 is £100 cheaper. The confusion is that it clearly state 3rd gen with i5 but doesn't say anything about i7.

 

[ps3hacker12]

the i7 is also 3rd gen. What are the model numbers of the two systems?

It's Inspiron 23 touch.

Just looked and your right, its just that the i7 system is on a large discount (£380) whereas the i5 system only has a small discount (£100). Thats the only reason why its cheaper.

The other difference is that the i7 has a bluray reader

So I should go for i7 right ?

 

[ps3hacker12]

According to http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-3770+%40+3.40GHz&id=896, i7-3770 is about 55% percent faster than i5-3330, so you go figure.

You should look at the users needs, for his needs, the i5-3330 is an extremely powerful processor already.
