I get computer architecture/cores/threads, etc. impacts performance, but when looking to spec a new laptop, can someone explain how the 8th gen intel i5 8350 seems to outperform the i7 8550?

These comparisons are made, ostensibly, using the same or similar machines, both have 4C/8T, with the i7 offering a slightly better base and max clock rate. Essentially, other things equal, superior clock rate is resulting in inferior performance.
I'd expect with largish samples, differences in machine architecture would fall out. I take it then, your basic answer is "it shouldn't" – Chris – 2018-05-08T22:59:19.323
