From what I can see, it looks like the 3.4GHz version is an I5-7500, and the 3.5GHz version is an I5-7600. Both Quad Core, same cache memory and Turbo boost to 3.8GHz and 4.1GHz respectively.

In reality there's less than 10% difference in the real-world performance between the two.

Probably not even 5%. So riazadam needs to ask, is it worth the extra price?

Depends, you need to look at the features that the new Mac offers that some of the older ones doesn't.

There is usually hardware acceleration added that a feature of OSX/HandOff needs that Apple doesn't want to do in software.
