Can't decide between 4th and 6th gen i7

[Swaegah]

I know 6th gen is going to be Optimized for a lot more games but I'm really pushing my budget ufor it. This is also a laptop so an upgrade most likely won't happen. As well as a few other perks on the laptop with a 4th gen cpu. I really don't want to spend the extra money on it but if it's a major difference I can. So is it a major difference?

My two options

No major difference. I have a haswell i5 4460 and it is fine. Save your money. Which i7 exactly?

Go for skylake for better future compatibility. Better battery life and a much better GPU to boot. On desktop it's not as big of a difference, but in the laptop space the 6th gen is a very worthwhile upgrade

Skylake is around 10% better then Haswell. So the difference is that noticeable. Though Skylake CPus use less power so thats a bonus on laptops. Also if its using a skylake cpu then it probably has a better gpu aswell.

I forgot to mention the lap top is for gaming. The gpus are exactly the same.

go with the 4th gen if your on a tight budget, its at most a 10% difference in cpu power.
If you find that 10% to justify the 6th gen then by all means buy it, This is your call.
