Seeks an Imac, but I would like some advice on the choice of the processor

Title says it all really.

What is the difference in performance wise behind:

The most notable difference is the i7 has hyper threading and the i5 does not work.  Hyper threading is always based on having a software which has been programmed to make use.  Not all applications will use the technology hyper threading so even if it is supported by the processor it can not be used.  There is a marginal improvement on the i7 without hyper-threading.  The real choice depends on what you plan to do with the computer.  If you plan to do a lot of sound and video editing then the i7 can be worth if the i5 should be enough.
