Is it better to buy an i5, or buy an i3 now and upgrade to a

i5. You won't get much from upgrading to i7 anyway.

>>56934256
There's no reason to upgrade from the Sandy Bridge one you've been using for the past half a decade.
Also quit posting that pic. The magic was lost when it was revealed that she's over 18 and now she's just annoying.

Base model i5 vs base model i7.

>>56934295
Which isn't relevant unless you want to perform extremely heavy processing tasks every day. Any normie desktop can even use i3, i5 is okay for gaming.

>>56934330
Or an older I7?

>dual core

>>56934425
Why does that matter?

>>56934269
I went from an i5 to an i7 and it made a whole load of difference. Less of a bottleneck on my gpu

Who is this penis pumper?

>>56934269
You mean besides slightly better single core and much better multicore performance?

>>56934468
Unnoticeable

Completely agreed. No one will notice a 10fps difference and I'm 100% being sarcastic

>muh gayming
Irrelevant. If you're only upgrading your PC to play games then you're completely retarded.

Lucky for you, the i7 is significantly better in many other applications too!

It has a penis.

>>56934606
Actually the 4790k is still the best single core cpu out there.

>>56934809
Wat

>>56934861
sorry misworded that , I meant best single thread performance. Fecking idiot I am

>>56934809
It doesn't have ddr4 which hurts real world performance unfortunately

>>56934606
3.5Ghz vs 4Ghz = 14.5% difference? well I never.

That graph literally shows you the clock speed difference between the two Skylake CPUs.

>>56934809
I assume you're referring to the passmark synthetics chart
I wouldn't take that as fact

>>56934934
no im not. I generally dont look at passmark .
