I ran the PassMark Benchmark test on my laptop and desktop, and the "CPU" score for the laptop, which has a Core i5, was much lower than the "CPU" score for my desktop, which only has an i3. Why is this? The laptop's i5 is second generation, and the desktop's i3 is fourth. So does the fourth generation i3 perform better than the second generation i5?

Here is an i3 4th gen vs an i5 2nd gen: https://www.goldfries.com/hardware-reviews/intel-core-i3-4130-processor-review/ When it comes to performance per dollar, the i3 is better, and may even have a slight edge on the i5 in some situations, as your test seems to have concluded. Hopefully this helps.
Laptop I5 are practically a desktop I3, both 2 core 4 threads, but the I5 has the turbo bin speed boost. Some of the laptop I7 are 2/4 also but with a meg more cache. However, for the same speed the 4th gen does have some advancement in instructions per clock over the earlier series.

With cpu and gpu with each new rev of parts the vendors are able to tweek the core hardware of the parts to make them faster. with the newer intel 7-9 gen cpu the tweeking from intel only gets people a small upgrade in speed. so going from 7-9 most times for gamers is a waste of money. with laptops the biggest issue with making them is heat. the thermals in a laptops can be so bad that a lot of times it can hurt top of the line cpu from running at there max speed. with desktops there larger and have bigger heat sinks so that most of the newer cpu can run at there max tdp most times.
