Core i5 is a Dual Core processor line. It is Intel's mid-range processor series. It has many of the same features as the i7s including: Hyper Threading, Enhanced Intel Speed Step, and Turbo Boost. In addition to these features many Core i5s also include an integrated graphics processor on the die.
Another major difference is the number of cores available. On the desktop, Core i5s always have four cores, but Core i7s can have between four and ten cores. That means an eight core i7 can handle 16 threads at once with hyper-threading, and a ten-core i7 processor can handle 20 threads at once.
