AFAIK:
Any "i" architecture is available with several configurations of Ghz and CPUs.
The "i-Number" is more about instructions efficiency, i.e. "Performance per GHz" for each of the cores.
Hence a i3 with 4GHz, 4 cores will be a lot slower than an i7 with 4GHz, 4 cores, but (if same µm Structure) presumably use up less Power and run cooler.
(The count of threads per core makes this stuff even more complicated... )
