I'm looking at selling my rig for an alienware Alpha (mouse and keyboard, i5, 8gb ram) and my current rig has an i3-4170, and this model of the alpha has an i5-4590t (base 2.0 Ghz, turbo boost 3.0 Ghz)

Will this CPU be able to outperform my i3 (in general) and also, will the "turbo boost" function operate automatically when under load?
