Core i5 vs. i7 : Which CPU Offers the Best Bang for the Buck

When you shop for a new laptop, you have to answer many questions, such as “What brand?” “What screen size?” “What’s my budget?” But one of the more difficult questions to answer is: Which processor do I need? Unless you’re buying a budget laptop, you’re probably deciding between a laptop with an Intel Core i5 CPU and one with a more expensive, but faster Core i7 processor.

In order to help you decide between the two CPUs, we tested two otherwise identical Dell Inspiron 13 5000 2-in-1s (1080p / 8GB / 1TB HDD), one with a Core i5-7200U CPU and the other with a Core i7-7500U processor. Both CPUs are dual-core members of the latest Intel 7th Generation processor platform, also known as “Kaby Lake,” and both are part of the U series, which is most common in mainstream laptops.

One note before we continue: We’re focusing our comparison on the U-series of Kaby Lake CPUs, which you’ll find in most mainstream laptops. Mobile gaming rigs and workstations use quad-core HQ series chips, while some superthin 2-in-1s use low-power Y series chips.
