Waiting for 8th gen Intels i7 processors?

Hey,

I was planning to buy this Acer Aspire 7 for school and video editing purposes.

(15,6 inch-Intel Core i7-7700HQ-8 GB RAM-NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050)

When surfing on the internet, I saw that Intel released its 8th generation i7 CPU's.
New laptops with these CPUs are coming out in september/october/...

Should I wait 2/3 months, and buy the Medion Erazer P6689 instead?

Is it worth the wait because of the processor? School starts in two weeks, and a laptop could be handy..

Thanks in advance!

 

Hey Timoriss,

Core wise. 7th gen has a higher 2800MHz base working frequency with 3800MHz Turbo boost. 8th Gen has a lower base clock speed of 1800MHz and Turbo boost of 4000MHz. Boost is short term. 8th gen on the other hand has much lower power consumption of 15 W vs 7th gen 45 W.

If I understand correctly, not able to read Belgium. Medion has a max RAM of 32 GB and video card is GeForce GTX 1050? They are very similar but P6689 has a higher capacity storage SDD of 512 GB

But as I understand they start from the lowest spec and work up to. Depends what the end price will be compared to Acer.

Hope this helps.
