A Newegg user reports the i7 version fan ramps up even while browsing while the i5 version stays quiet. Gaming performance is identical in every comparison I've read, maybe a 0.6 FPS difference. Emulation performance may be different since it is more CPU dependent, but I doubt it is much different. If you won't benefit from hyper threading, you can use the difference in price for a bigger SSD or a 2TB HDD IMO.
