[SOLVED] Intel Core i5 7500 vs i7 6700

[isakf]

Hi, my current system worked perfect for BF1 1080p 60 fps in ULTRA settings but now I tried BF V for 10 hours and noticed some studders even in the MEDIUM settings. I guess the G4560 is the issue.

Pentium G4560
Nvidiga Geforce GTX 1060, 3GB
Corsair SSD, 240 GB
16 GB ram 2 400 MHz

What do you recommend I have the possibilty to buy the i5 7500 Ghz for 100 EUR or the i7 6700 for 150 euro...pretty cheap but they are used not new.

Whats your pick and why?

BF5 is pretty CPU intensive and it it is not surprise that your G4560 is stuttering. With CPU heavy games, you will see a bigger jump with the 6700 as it has more threads than the 7500. Games that are not as CPU intense, there wont be a big difference between the 7500 and the 6700.

If you are planning on keeping the CPU for awhile, I would go with the 6700 as it will have a little more longevity.

what motherboard do you have? i think 6700 is a stronger chip. all core boost to 3.7ghz all core, while 7500 boost to 3.6 ghz all core.

ipc is almost the same between 6th gen and 7th gen.

however, if you have a weak motherboard/cpu cooler. you might run into thermal or power limitations.

IPC is exactly the same between 6th/7th gen. They just bumped clock speeds.

Go for the 6700. The 7500 runs out of power too easily.

Thanks, I mean the G4560 is so good value for money and the studders are minimal to none actually but I feel it is time to upgrade anyway.
