Up until the 9th generation, i7 was the flagship section, made for top-of-the-line machines. The i7 designation is what Intel refers to as the brand modifier and it tells you what major type of Intel Core processor you have. Given there are more expensive options like XPS13s, unless you taking premium ultrabooks, the ulv will be priced below 800 dollars.For example, your laptop might be powered by the Intel Core i7–7920HQ. Most ULV cpus laptops have options below that. the lowest priced quad core i7 has consistently retailed at around 700-800 dollars give or take at it's cheapest. Everything is down to price at this point. Given the Kaby lake desktop line up hasn't even been released yet, we're expecting Q1 2017 until the mobile series drops. cause quad core kaby lakes haven't been released. There is no "last-gen" quad core right now. Black Friday is right around the corner and last-gen CPU based laptops might get huge discounts cause manufacturers want to sell them out, that's why he might get a faster last-gen i7 at the price of a new-gen i5 Regardless, I often have laptops to find and laptops with very different CPUs might have similar prices and sometimes faster CPU-based laptops are cheaper than the ones with slower CPUs just because there's a generation difference between them. That is not necessarily true, I work in an IT company and one small part of my job is to find specific hardware based on weirdly-written specifications if that makes any sense, it's a pre-sales thing. That's your problem, your arguments are based mostly of assumptions, not actual facts. It also features the Intel Iris 550 iGPU which is 70% faster than the HD 520 found in the 6500U. installing faster RAM will get you 2% faster LOL.Ī) the testing was not done by wccftech, they only reported the results.ī) OP is going to have a dedicated GPU in his laptop (judged by his previous thread)Ĭ) 2% gaming performance due to only 1MB more cache in an i7, Kaby will have practically no performance improvements in terms of IPC over Skylake from what every benchmark shows.ĭ) OP NEVER mentioned that he wants to get an "U" version of the i7.Īnd assuming that he wants a ULV chip, who said that he has to get the 6500U? Where is that coming from? Are you a psychic? There's also i7-6567U which is up to 14% faster than an i7-6500U. Also taking into account his original question of whether he should get Skylake I7 ULV or Kaby Lake i5 ULV the TWO WHOLE PERCENT is offset by IPC increases in the architecture improvement.īeyond that improvements to HD intel graphics MASSIVELY offset what bullshit performance increase you get from l3 cache. i7s are also advertised ALOT more expensive.
And also 2% on a ULV chip say hypothetically running CSGO at 30fps is like 0.6 fps more. i5 vs i7 ulv is a difference between 3mb and 4mb of 元 cache TWO WHOLE PERCENT. B) The benchmarks LITERALLY show what I said.
