I haven't had much experience with the new i5 and i7, but I believe:

i7 has 7 cores, i5 has 5 cores, and quad (meaning 4) has 4 cores.

i5 is only dual core I think whereas i7 is Quad Core, but it goes much more beyond the amount of cores you have for example, speed, chip-types and so on. :)

Yea, well i was way off. :whistle:

only the i7-970 has 6 cores, and the rest have 4 cores.

some of the i5's are 4 cores, and some 2.

Its just more advanced tech. put into each chip...oh well.


And hey! Someday there will be an intel CPU with 7 cores :ouch:

:eek:
i7 980X = 6 cores
i7 is = Quad 4 cores
i5 upto model 570 = dual core that means 2 cores and from i5 570 all r Quad core that means 4 cores
i3= dual core 2 cores....

i 5 are dual cores and starting from model i5 750 they r all Quad cores......and all i7 except i7 980x are quad cores..... i7 980 is a 6 core processor.....
