Simply said, I was always in a believe that differences between i3 - i5 - i7 series is mainly based on number of threads and cache. But down below, there are two options of Macbook Pro CPUs one i5 the other i7, but according to information I found the difference is only in clock speed. It comes to me that i5 is quite a bargain then and very good option (considering it is $300 cheaper) and only lacking 0.2 GHz base clock speed and 0.4 GHz Turbo, while maintaining same cache, threads, cores count and hyper-threading. What do you think guys? Am I correct?
A.) i5 - 2.3 GHz / Turbo 3.6 GHz (should be Intel Core i5-7360U)
B.) i7 - 2.5 GHz / Turbo 4 GHz (should be Intel Core i7-7660U) + $300
Both options should feature the same features: 2 cores, 4 threads, hyper-threading, 4mb cache.
