[QUOTE="the8thark, post: 1157877, member: 26315"] Thanks Schweb. What I got from that article was: The i3 does support hyper threading but not turbo boost. The low end i5 can turbo boost by 266 mhz. Big whoop. The 13 and i5 6xx series can have integrated graphics while the i5 750 can't. Which really makes no difference cause all the imacs have a dedicated gpu. But the conclusion of the article is: So in short what I get from the article is get the i5 cause of the higher clock speed. And do we know which series of i5's and i3's Apple is using now? So if it's just clock speed. Then it's $261 for me for 400mhz more. As the article says all the other differences between the 2 add up to naught for most people. The article recommends to get the i5. But just for a few more mhz is it worth it? My gut is telling me no. But the article and someone else I asked said yes it's worth it. So now I'm really confused on the subject. [edit] This is what Apple's page says about the the i5 if you click learn more on the configure page. Funny that. The article said i3's do have hyper threading but Apple says they don't. Who to believe? [/QUOTE]
