Intel Core i7 or i5 8th generation?

I was just looking for gaming laptops on the internet and came across a laptop with an Intel Core i7 and an Intel Core i5 8th generation. What is better? An i7 or an i5 from an 8 or 9 generation

Depends on whether there were jumps in the core number or HT support during the generation change. The differences in timing will be slight.

And of course, what kind it is, there are different types in the mobile segment, e.g. Those that are particularly energy efficient.

St

In general, the I7 is actually better. The one generation doesn't make a big difference because the single core performance of Intel processors is very good anyway. If you could tell me which processors it is, I could give you more detailed feedback

Can you share a link here? Then we can take a closer look at the laptop. What are you going to do with him? Gaming only? What games?

I only look on the Internet. So now I don't have 2 specific laptops in mind, but just wanted to know what is more worthwhile

St

The jumps in the number of cores have been at Intel for a long time. First of all, an i5 usually has 4 cores and an i7 usually has 8 cores. With multithreading, it depends on the processor.

I just need one to play with. But now I don't have exactly 2 or so that I have an eye. Just wanted to know what was more worthwhile

St

I would look at the threads. If the i7 had twice as many threads as cores, I would take that.

I have an i5 8300H with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050TI (don't gamble) in my notebook and I'm satisfied

In Cinebench, the processor sometimes has over 45W TDP (not long) up to 65 Watts

When rendering videos at Full HD, I need 5-10 minutes, these are on average 10 minutes at 25fps

So I can recommend the processor the graphics card but in the Heaven Benchmark the graphics card manages 60 FPS cut

Stay healthy

OK.

Sorry, but unfortunately everything is wrong with the statement.

Since the 8th generation there's no clear scheme anymore. The core numbers are mixed. With the i7s e.g. The H-CPUs 6C / 12T, the U-CPUs, however, only 4C / 4T.

ka

Correction: The i7 U-CPUs have 4C / 8T (typed wrong). And there's even an exception (i7 10710 with 6C / 12T).

St

Then I'm sorry. I remembered that the number of cores is relatively identical to the desktop CPU's. Sry again

ka

Absolutely not a thing, everyone can be wrong! I had a discussion the day before yesterday with someone who has become extremely aggressive and scolded when I pointed out his mistake…

In any case, Intel's mobile CPUs have always had a slightly different core number than the desktop versions, but https://de.wikipedia.org/...rozessoren has been around since the 8th generation

But also on the desktop, i7 was up to 7th generation 4C / 8T, then 6C / 12T, then 8C / 8T and now apparently comes 8C / 16T. They also no longer know how to react to AMD 😂

An i7 is better than an i5 within the same generation. The difference from generation 8 to generation 9 is not particularly large, as is typical for Intel.
