Here under I will compare the i3 and dual core processor based on different parameter. Before that I will put some point about the currently available processor type that may help you guys choose between.
Type and number of core
Dual core- 2 core
i3 - 2 core
i5 - 2 or 4 core (based on model)
i7 - 2,4 or 6 core(based on model) e.g i7 extream is 6 core
The main difference?
i3
-32nm
-integrated graphics
-PCI-e 2.0 controller, couple of it come with 2X8 along with the 1X16 support
-2 channel integrated memory controller
-hyper threading
core 2 duo
-65,45nm (needs more power n generates more heat)
-of course no concept of integrated graphics
-no PCI-E controller
-no memory controller
-no HT
which processor type you want to buy depends on the need of customer (i.e we/user). so based on your application need and the budget you have make a one time reliable investment.
Hope this has some thing to do with understanding before going to decide your laptop or pc. and don't forget to comment on it.
