Macbook Pro i5 vs i7 Processor

Is the 1.7GHz quad-core 8th‑generation Intel Core i7 processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.5GHz or 2.4GHz quad-core 8th‑generation Intel Core i5 processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.1GHz better for a 13" Macbook Pro 2019?

You can find benchmark scores in the MacTracker database, available free in the Mac App Store.

These are GeekBench scores from MacTracker for the 2019 13-inch entry model with the 1.7ghz i7, and the "four-port" model with a 2.4ghz i5:



Normally I give the nod to the i7 but in this case, there is probably not enough difference to detect in real-world use.
