i5/7 core

[BOOPBEE]

should I buy an i5 or an i7 intel core for my computer (i5 cheaper but worse)

[Hector]

Go for the i7 with latest one

Go for the i7 with latest one

or he could pay 100-200$ more for hyper-threading and go for the i9

If you have a tight budget just go with a ryzen

Depends on what your going to do. For gaming a modern i5 will be able to do fine especially if your playing a Gpu bound game (with a good gpu ofc). If your rendering or doing things like that an i7 will help you a lot with the higher clock.

If you can afford to buy the i7 then go for it. If not get the i5. I have a i5 8600k and it can handle everything I throw at it

[greatcapp]

i7 if the budget stretches that far. Always grab the best you can afford, surely?

[sampe20]

i would go for the i7 but i would wait until Black Friday

[ktm80y]

i5 is cheaper than i7

if you have limit budget then i5 else for power i7 mate

It depends on your budget.

Even within each series, you have the final letters, H, U, etc, which are different in price and performance.

Go for the i7

The latest gen of Intel CPUs has bumped up the specs. Now even an i3 has 4 cores. Just a thought if $$$ are tight

[distrology]

mine is AMD A8 LOL

[trini599]

Go for 9th generation i5 for multiple threading for a difference of $200 - $300

[lv10]

go for Ryzen, best bang for bucks
