The difference between the i7 and i5 is that even though they are both 4 core processors, the i7 supports multithreading. That means that for every core on the i7 there are two virtual cores that can run separate computing threads, so instead of having 4 cores to use like on the i5 you have 8 virtual cores to run on the i7

Yup, I was going to say that. But, isn't using virtual cores really unstable or something? That's why most just say for now i5 = i7 w/o multithreading.
