Doesn't matter, but if you want to buy a new cpu just go with kaby lake because there isn't a very big price difference.

They're virtually identical, though the 7500 is technically faster because it comes clocked about 200 MHz faster. Get the new platform if the price is within a few pounds, but there's no reason to pay much extra for it.

 

There's also the i5-6600… it's 100 MHz slower than the i5-7500 at base and 100 MHz faster at it's maximum boost clock. But, again, it's not worth paying much more over the 6500.

The 7500 is clocked higher, so since they have the same IPC it will be a little faster, if they were the same price I'd take the 7500.
