What is the difference between Intel Core i3 and i5?
In addition to generally faster base clock speeds, Core i5 processors have larger cache (on-board memory) to help the processor deal with repetitive tasks faster. On currently available desktop processors, i5 CPUs have up to 6MB of L3 cache, while i3 processors have 3MB to 4MB.
How can I make my i3 processor faster?

If you post a question to your motherboard manufacturer regarding this issue, they would confirm this is possible or not.
Why is the Intel Core i3 processor not called i3?
Intel has kept to that principle since. For example, the “i3” isn’t named “i3” – it’s the “Intel Core i3”. Even the “i3” part isn’t referring to anything about the processor, so it’s in no way descriptive. This is deliberate in order to help with trademark protection.
What is the Order of the new Intel Core i7 processors?
The new Core line will be naturally be position from bottom to top Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7. The odd-numbers convention makes sense with the possibility that some consumers may confused Core 2 Duo and Quad with 2 and 4.
What is the last logical core of an i5 processor called?
The last logical core is called logical-core 7. So, they named the product i7. A i5 processor (7xx family) does NOT support hyper-threading and have 4 cores.
