hey tech dwellers!

i would like to ask a simple question and hope to achieve a simple answer...

does the I7 6700HQ benefit over the i5 6300HQ in gaming? if so...how much?
i know that the i7 6700HQ has HT(hyper threading ) whereas the i5 does not

but will the REALLY benefit my use?
im currently using my i5 5200U hp laptop which is ...well...pretty much snappy in my regular task , but i would like to make a leap into the gaming arena...

this deal : https://www.carrefouruae.com/mafuae/en/laptop-it-gaming/laptops-pcs/laptops/lenovo-nbk-y520-i5-7300-8-1-4-15-6/p/1363679

this is our friendly and lovely legion y520 which doesnt get insulted on its screen (sorry dell :3) and its on sale for about 2,499.00 AED which is 680.39 US Dollar

this offer is EXTREMELY LIMITED (2 days) and a quick response would be appreciated :3

considering the gpu being GTX 1050TI (this laptop has that) what cpu is better?

please i have no interest in running cinebench over and over again..synthetic loads are not really real loads....just gaming bro...even my i5 5200U (2 cores...4 threads *2 per core ) can handle everything alright

thanks :3
 
Solution
Depends on what games you are talking about. Some games can take advantage of the i7 at higher settings like dark souls 3 and gta. An i5 is good if you are aiming for medium and below. An i7 is needed otherwise.
i had to lookup that that on the lenovo website because it doesn't mention what GPU it is using. lenovo's website has it coming with either an NVIDIA 1050 ti 4GB or 1060 3GB. if you are really looking for a gaming laptop then make sure this one from thast website has the NVIDIA 1060 in it.

so don't put dell down yet lol
