What processor should I choose?

[sshuvro58]

I am planning to buy a laptop . I have selected two . One has a 8th generation 1.80GHz core i7 processor and other has 7th generation 2.70 Ghz core i7 processor . Shall I emphasize on clock speed of generation ?

[strike]clock speed > gen[/strike]
my answer is too generic and wrong. In this case, the 8th gen turbo is 4G>7th gen 3.5G, get 8th Gen.

Buy the 7th generation with higher clock speed. the 8th gen only make very little improvement with LOWER speed. also the 8th generation only have screen res of 1366x768 thats too small for an i7 Processor.

8th gen is a quad, the 7th is only dual.
the gpu on the 8th laptop perform better.

yep the 8500u is a 4c/8t and the 7500U is a 2c/4t so the 8th gen will be more performant

Only get 7th gen if you're getting 7300/7700hq. 7200/7500u aren't amazing, they get the job done they're small and use little power which is why they're seen in so many slim form factor laptops.

8th gen is out now, while still using little power like before they've doubled the cores/threads. Here's a nice notebook with 8th gen i5
