Okey the truth is no one needs i7 its just overkill who the heck gonna use 4-8(threads) cores clocked at 3-4 ghz i doubt anything gonna use that many cpu power i have i3 4130(2 cores 2 threads 3.4 ghz) and very high settings i can play gta 5(it maxes cpu usage) and ultra on witcher 3(doesnt even max cpu usage) i5 is best choice by price/performance ratio i7 is more of for bragging rights and i5 is perfect choice for any gamer/worker. A this point of time and probably few years there wont be anything that will need more than i5 wether it would be second or fifth generation my answer is always go for i5. And if you gonna game only sometimes you dont even need i5 go for i3 as i sayd it can run any game decent and for stuff like programming surfing you can even go with pentium xD.

What is GPU sir rgd1101?
I7 5th Generation Vs 4th
And what is it purpose?GPU = Graphics Processing Unit.Basically all Intel CPU have integrated GPU (iGPU), there are a few Intel desktop CPU that do not. They are weak compared dedicated graphics; though very low end dedicated graphics is not much better than integrated graphics.The 4th gen i7 CPU will have the Intel HD 4600 while the 5th gen i5 will have the Intel HD 5500. Both graphics cores will provide similar performance. The Intel HD 5600 performs better than the Intel HD 4600, but it is only offered in the recently released 5th gen quad core i7 CPUs.Can the above mentioned Intel integrated graphics be used to play games? Mostly yes on low or maybe medium settings at 1366x768 resolition with the exception of graphically intensive games. And you need to keep your expectations low.
