The specs are almost identical. The big differences are that the i3 supports AVX2.0 and Hyperthreading. Also, the built-in graphics are supposedly better, but Intel graphics generally suck, regardless.
I guess if you had emulators that were compiled to take advantage of AVX, then it would probably be worth it to pay extra for the i3. Otherwise, I'm not so sure.
