if performance is what you are after, go for the i5 model.

 

[abhidev]

i would suggest i5....

 

[smartyrohan12]

if gaming isnt ur priority then go for the i3, it uses less power and u dont need high performer...

 

[bruvell]

with all due respect..

@pranav0091

@abhidev

@smartyrohan12

what abt the model factor RV518 or RV509 does something change or just numbers .... heat generated & stuff .. have any one seen its display?

 

[abhidev]

coz i5 is a better performer...has turbo boost...whereas i3 doesn't hv this feature

that and the fact that i5 runs native 4 threads comparing with the 2 threads for i3. so should perform better under multitasking.

and also notice how the price diff between the two is negligible. so i'd suggest the i5 model.

but i3 supports hyper threading....

AFAIK i3 doesnt support HT. But i'll check.
