what is the difference between pentium & intel core 3

3 major differences:

- Pentiums have slightly slower clock speed vs. Core i3 models.
- While both have two physical cores, the Core i3 also has hyper-threading which can increase performance by ~ 20%.
- Core i3 models have Quick Sync technology for quickly encoding/decoding HD video.
