You may want to know that i3-s in laptops aren't comparable with the desktop ones. Roughly, the laptop equivalents of desktop Core i3-s are the "mobile" i5s. Also a laptop i3 is roughly comparable with a desktop pentium-series cpu. To give the general idea (the processors aren't directly equivalent due to differences in cache and turbo-presence as well as thermals but in terms of cores and hyperthreading you'll see what I mean): Intel specs page for the desktop Core i3 4330: http://ark.intel.com/products/77769/Intel-Core-i3-4330-Processor-4M-Cache-3_50-GHz Intel specs page for the laptop Core i5 4330M: http://ark.intel.com/products/76750/Intel-Core-i5-4330M-Processor-3M-Cache-up-to-3_50-GHz
