i5 is better for games.

Cheaper not better, but you don't need an i7 for this kind of stuff

[Dask]

i7 is better in general.

on my pc i have i5 but i whish i had i7

ofc i7 is better

[RedmanFTW]

with both of them can gaming

[caretaker]

nope i7 is better if the game is hyperthreading supported i have i7 and lineage doesn`t throttle my threads, but on the other hand every nfs game runs full option hyper

so its about the game or program, mainly you wont go wrong with any i7 running higher then 2+ ghz on idle

 

Hyperthreading is better then any amd or i5 in rendering software like 3dsmax or cinema4d artlantis indigo renderer etc. because it renders small a-beep-t (a m o u n t - it wont let me say it tied toghether) of information at a time on each core so instead of haveing 2 cores or 4 rendering at a time you will get 8 or 12 rendering faster because it doesn`t really require that a-beep-t of power on each core to render a sample of pixeles. trust me this is my profession i7 smokes in redering and computeing capabilityes but sucks ass if the software or game isn`t hyper enabled

put your intel proccesor into your rubbish bin.

Expensive items for not really incredible things.

Choose AMD.

i5 2500K on 4.0Ghz rocks as good as i7
