Sure from 2.4GHz to 3.5GHz there's quite a difference.But having an i5 4670K 3.4GHz clocked at 4.2GHz with an H100 and my i7 3770K 3.5GHz clocked at 4.2GHz with the same kind cooler gives absolutely no difference in any game we have installed, WoW, D3, Skyrim, ArmA3 and SWTOR.

Both computers have 16GB of RAM.
The i5 has a GTX770 and the i7 a GTX680.

The only time I really appreciate my i7 is when I start using Photoshop and Premiere. Those a massive hogs.


I've never used 3D and rarely watch streams, so can't say if those things require that much more CPU.
