Assuming comparable model CPU's, the 5th gen should be a little faster and have longer battery life. 5th gen (Broadwell) was a die shrink so efficiency will have increased allowing the same work to be done using less power. The performance increase from Haswell (4th) to (Broadwell) was about 5% from the articles I read.

Assuming both 4th and 5th generation Core i7 has the same clockspeed, the 5th gen should have slightly better performance. The average performance increase from 4th to 5th gen is about 4%. That means a 5th gen Core i7 running at 3.0GHz would be about equal to a 4th gen Core i7 running at 3.12GHz... Not a big difference.

The biggest performance increase is actually in the integrated graphics core. The 5th gen Intel HD 5500 is roughly 15% more powerful than the 4th gen Intel HD 4400 on average, but that varies depending on the game. It may not be much but it is definitely better than the meager 4% on the CPU side.

so which should i take for gaming

If both laptops has the same dedicated graphics card, then it does not matter.

If the laptops relies on Intel's integrated graphics, then get the 5th gen CPU.

Buuuut never rely on cpu graphics for games.. My opinion.
