When buying a computer, we often notice that i5 or i7 is marked on the configuration of the computer. So how different are these two processors?

Will i7 be better than i5? Today we will look at the differences between the two processors.
First, grade

Like mobile phone processors, different processors target different markets. The i5 processor is mainly targeted at the low and mid-end, so it is

relatively cheaper in price, and the general price is about 1,000 yuan. At present, most of the three or four thousand yuan computers on the

market use i5, which is completely eliminated by normal Internet chat and game entertainment, so it is favored by many manufacturers.
The i7 is different. It faces the high-end market, which is generally standard for enthusiasts. Compared to the i5, the price is about 1,000 yuan

higher, which is why the i7 notebook is generally expensive. However, i7 also brings more powerful computing power and processing power, and this

gap is particularly obvious in games.
Hyper-Threading

Compared to the i7, the performance of the i5 processor is actually a lot worse. I5 does not have hyper-threading function, so there will be

obvious shortcomings in compatibility and computing power will be greatly reduced, especially when running large programs, this gap will be

particularly obvious. I7 can perfectly support hyper-threading. For those who do video, i7 is necessary because it can exert stronger performance.

From the perspective of data, the single-threaded performance of the i5 processor is less than 10% weaker than that of the i7, and the multi-

threaded performance is weaker than 30%. This is where their gap lies.
Third, the clock frequency

The clock frequency is also called the main frequency of the processor, which is the main part to measure the performance of the processor. On the

same architecture, a higher clock frequency means better performance, which means that the i7 is much faster than the i5. It is also worth

mentioning that both the Core i5 and i7 are equipped with the "Core Frequency" function, which can convert some idle cores to the main frequency

to improve performance.
Fourth, the cache

The larger the cache, the more RAM can be called, which also makes the power performance stronger and the power consumption lower. Compared to i5,

i7's cache is about 2MB larger than i5. If you need more RAM, then the i7 will be a very good choice.
