Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors: the difference between them and which one do you really need?

The processor is the brain of the computer, but it takes a lot of your own brains to understand the difference between processors! Intel hasn’t made it easy on consumers with its weird naming schemes, and the question that often comes up is: what’s the difference between i3, i5, or i7 processors? Which one should I buy?
Time to demystify this. In this article, I will not touch on other Intel processors such as the Pentium series or the new Core M series laptop. They are good on their own, but the Core series is the most popular and confusing, so let’s just focus on that.
Understanding Model Numbers
To be honest, it’s very simple. The Intel Core i7 is better than the Core i5, which in turn is better than the Core i3. The problem is knowing what to expect from each processor.
First of all, i7 does not mean 7-core processor! These are only names indicating relative performance.
Typically, the Core i3 series uses only dual-core processors, while the Core i5 and Core i7 processors use dual-core, quad-core, and six-core processors. Quad-core processors are usually better than dual-core processors, but don’t worry about that for now.
Intel releases chipset families such as the new generation of Skylake processors for the 6th generation Skylake family. Each family, in turn, has its own line of Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 processors.
You can determine which processor generation belongs to the first digit in the four-digit model name . For example, Intel Core i3- 5 200 belongs to the 5 th generation. Keep in mind that new generations of Intel will not support Windows 7, but since Windows 10 is a free upgrade anyway, use the newest generation.
Here’s a useful rule of thumb. The other three numbers are Intel’s assessment of how the processor compares to others in its own line. For example, the Intel Core i3-5350 outperforms the Core i3-5200 because 350 is more than 200.
Last letters: U, Q, H, K
Things have changed since we last looked at the list of Intel processors. Processor list decoding. The model number is usually followed by one or a combination of the following letters: U, Y, T, Q, H, and K. Here’s what they mean:
- U: Extra Low Power. U rating for laptop processors only. They use less power and are better suited to the battery.
- Y: Low power. Typically used for older laptops and mobile processors.
- T: Power Optimized for desktop processors.
- Q: Quad-core processor. The Q rating is only for processors with four physical cores.
- H: High performance graphics. The chipset has one of the best graphics units from Intel.
- K: Unlocked. This means that you can overclock the processor yourself.
Understanding these letters and the above numbering system will help you know what the processor offers just by looking at the model number, without having to read the actual specifications.
You can find the meaning of the other letters in the Intel manuals for processor numbers.
Hyper-Threading: i7 > i3 > i5
As you can see above, Intel specifically writes U and Q for the number of physical cores. Well, what are the other cores, you ask? The answer is virtual cores activated using Hyper-Threading technology.
In layman’s terms, hyper-threading allows one physical core to act as two virtual cores, thereby executing many tasks simultaneously without activating the second physical core (which will require more power from the system).
If both processors are active and using hyperthreading, these four virtual cores will compute faster. Note, however, that physical cores are faster than virtual cores. A quad-core CPU will perform much better than a dual-core hyperthreaded CPU!
The Intel Core i3 series is hyper-threaded. The Intel Core i7 series also supports hyper-threading. The Intel Core i5 series does not support it.
Turbo Boost: i7 > i5 > i3
On the other hand, Intel Core i3 series does not support Turbo Boost. The Core i5 series uses Turbo Boost to speed up your tasks, just like the Core i7.
Turbo Boost is a patented technology to intelligently increase the processor’s clock speed if the application requires it. For example, if you’re playing a game and your system needs some extra power, Turbo Boost will kick in to compensate.
Turbo Boost is useful for those who use resource-intensive software such as video editors or video games, but it doesn’t really matter if you’re just going to surf the web and use Microsoft Office.
Cache size: i7 > i5 > i3
Besides Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost, one of the main differences in the Core lineup is cache size. The cache is the processor’s own memory and acts like its personal RAM — and it’s one of the little-known features that can slow down your PC.
Just like with RAM, the larger the cache, the better. Therefore, if the processor performs one task over and over again, it will store that task in its cache. If the processor can store more tasks in its private memory, it can make them faster if they come up again.
The Core i3 series typically contains up to 3 MB of cache. The Core i5 series has 3MB to 6MB cache. The Core i7 series has 4MB to 8MB cache.
Graphics: HD, Iris, Iris Pro
Since graphics have been integrated into the processor chip, this has become an important consideration when purchasing processors. But like everything else, Intel has made the system a bit confusing.
There are now typically three tiers of graphics devices: Intel HD, Intel Iris, and Intel Iris Pro. You will see the model name like Intel HD 520 or Intel Iris Pro 580… and that’s where the confusion starts.
Here is a brief example of how overwhelming this can be. The Intel HD 520 is the main graphics chipset. The Intel Iris 550 is better than the Intel HD 520, but also basic. But Intel HD 530 is a high performance graphics unit and better than Intel Iris 550. However, Intel Iris Pro 580 is also a high performance graphics unit and better than Intel HD 530.
Best advice on how to interpret them? Just don’t. Instead, rely on the Intel naming system. If the processor model ends with H, you know it is a high performance module.

Simply put, here’s who each processor type is best for:
- Core i3: core users. economic choice. Convenient for browsing the web, using Microsoft Office, video calling and social networking. Not for gamers or professionals.
- Core i5: Intermediate users. Those who want a balance between performance and price. Good for gaming if you buy an HQ processor or a Q processor with a dedicated GPU.
- Core i7: Professionals. This is the best thing Intel can do right now.
How did you choose?
This article is a basic guide for those who want to buy a new Intel processor but are confused between Core i3, i5 and i7. But even after understanding all this, when it’s time to make a decision, you may need to choose between two processors of different generations.
What other advice would you give to those who are also stuck buying a PCU and have to make a choice?
