Both of these are 4 cores
but this one have 4 threads 2.8 GHz https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-2300+%40+2.80GHz
and this one have 8 threads 2.66 GHzhttps://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-920+%40+2.67GHz
Which one would you choose?
(For normal tasks, like web browsing, gaming, servers for games/webserver with no more than 100 clients connected at one time)
ps I actually am confused, don't know much about CPUs.
Thanks for help /g/uys!

Get the i5.
get something newer
>>62025995
Just get a ryzen 1700
it would crap over that ancient 920, i had one its quite slow but does overclock very well
>>62026006
i have a i5 4690 its not good enough for gaming anymore or 4k streaming or multitasking
Plus I don't know if the i7 is better, it says "(2 logical cores per physical)" does that makes it better than the i5?
Goim get the i9
>>62026019
Is not for games that require that much.
just old games as old as the CPUs are.
>>62026019
2nd this, don't buy intel this gen.
>buying old shit near EOL
i5 4460k and 4460s are the new i5 2500k and i5 2400
you can get em for ~50-100$ used on ebay if youre on a budget
otherwise, i5 7600 or Ryzen R5 1600
don't forget dual socket means double CPU benchmarks senpai
>>62026023
It means it has hyperthreading, which basically acts as double "cores" in a small fraction of programs that can utilize all those threads

My 5.8ghz would like to have a word with you
>>62026064
didnt they just bring out new mobos last year and not even a year later you need to buy a new mobo again even if its the same socket?
Fucking insane
1155 and 1366 and 2011v3 where their last good sockets anyway every other chipset has been dogshit
>>62026054
If you go to modern games they favor Multicore performance over IPC so yeah anything newer than 2013 your gonan struggle on a 4 core
Get a ryzen man a 1700 is perfect
>intel
Dun goofed

Don't. It shits the bed really badly.
>>62025995
those are ancient. Buy something new and I dont recommend giving intel any more shekels because they are releasing a new socket every quarter of a year and making old sockets incompatible with the new chips that fit in them to force you to buy even more shit
>>62025995
ryzen 3 1200
>>62027508
a socket change a year keeps the goyim in fear.
>>62025995
this i7 is much better and you can overclock it easily.
why don't pick a xeon with 6 cores

or pick a b350 mobo + ryzen 1400
>>62025995
The i7, more threads and can be overclocked if energy consumption is no issue.
Better multi thread performance too.
>>62025995
Both of them are old stuff which I don't recommend buying for a new build.
If I had to choose depending on price I would take the i5 because MOBOs for the i7 are socket 1366 and are much more rare and expensive.
If the price for the MOBO + CPU for both is the same, I would take the i7 because it will perform better + the i7 is unlocked so you can overclock it.
