Will an i7 make much of a difference over an i5 for gaming?

My i5 has served me very well, especially since most current-gen console ports aren't optimized to use multiple cores. However it appears that will be changing with the PS4 having 8 cores and the next Xbox likely following suit. As such, I'm considering upgrading to an i7 3770k in preparation for the next generation of games (namely for hyperthreading). I know that hyperthreading doesn't make much of a difference for current-gen games, but do you guys think it might help when the next-gen ports start arriving on PC? I know it's difficult to know for sure until they day actually arrives, but I though it'd be helpful to get some other opinions on the matter. :)

Simply no. You're fine where you are. No offense, but any PC gamer should know by now that next-gen "console talk" isn't going to change the game. Don't worry!Elann2008

No.  Your current CPU is very strong for all tasks, especially gaming.  No need to even think about upgrading.  I doubt the next gen of console hardware will do much to the PC hardware scene.  Hyperthreading does jack squat for gaming performance.

TC dont worry about next-gen consoles the ps4's jaguar is basically a glorified pair of intel atom cpu's XD

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="shufu7-11"] I initially went with a Black, but the noise drove me nuts. I was willing to sacrifice performance for peace and quiet. :)shufu7-11
