I'm a bit lost with CPU's architectures. I could, for instance, make this choice. I will be running Windows XP 32 bits and MAME with games in native resolution.
INTEL CORE i3 4340 3.6 GHZ SK1150 4MB (176€) INTEL CORE i5 4430 3.0 GHZ SK1150 6MB 84W HASWELL (189€)
I suppose the i3 is Ivy Bridge, right? I've read that the Haswell is not an important boost with respect Ivy Bridge. So, am I wrong if I think that the i3 would perform better, even if it's cheaper?
