is i3 and Core2Duo is same ? or there is major difference
They are different. The core i series has simultaneous multithreading
which is meant to provide two threads per core- so a total of 4 threads. A lot of the performance here depends on how good the software is though. It also has an integrated memory controller- which allows for lesser latency for access to RAM, turbo-boost- which allows the dynamic change of clock speed depending on the work load, and power gating- where cores can be turned off if they aren't needed. You may want to read up on which features are applicable to the i3 specifically though- it's near the lower end of the Nehalem spectrum.
hey thanks @aditya that helped me.
