Does a i5 perform better than a i3 in every way for video making, streaming, video editing, gaming? i3 has hyper threading and i5 doesn't

Yes, the i5 is superior to i3 due to the fact that they have 4 cores instead of 2 hyper threaded cores. Simple as that.

Hyper threading is good (making each core to manage 2 processing threads is a way to keep the cores fed), but it's not better than having real cores.

If you are going to do anything of what you said (except gaming which i5 is better), go with an i7 or Xeon.

Yes the i5 will be better than an i3 everywhere. Solid 4cores/4threads is better than 2cores/4threads every time.
