    Depends on what youre doing. If youre gaming you will see a small difference, if you are doing things like archiving or encoding you should see a larger difference.

    There's nearly no difference in the majority of applications, and even in benchmarks, there's only a tiny difference. You may only notice a tiny difference in extremely CPU-heavy tasks, such as video encoding. In gaming, there won't be any difference.
