Hello!
My friend is looking to purchase a pre-built PC and has narrowed his selection down to two.
An iBuyPower with a GTX 1060, 16GB of 2400MHz RAM, and a 6 Core i7 8700 for a total of $1,079.99 w/ student deal, or one with a GTX 1050 Ti, 8GB of 2400GHz RAM, and a 4 Core i7 7700 at $1,149.99.
Now, I would normally say the first one in a heartbeat, especially because he doesn't care about the SSD, but after going through some of the listed specs, something caught my eye. The listed i7 8700 has a base speed of 3.2 GHz, whereas the i7 7700 has one of 3.6GHz.
Was this a typo / error? That doesn't seem like it should be the case at all. Which one is actually better?
Thank you!
