Alienware Alpha i3 vs i5

Can someone who has upgraded from the i3 to the i5 processor on their Alienware Alpha model, please tell me what performance increases you noticed (if any) and did you feel the upgrade was worth it.  Thank you

Hello!  I haven't heard of anyone swapping out the processors in the Alpha as you are limited in doing so, however from what I've read before buying, you get around a 15 to 20 percent processor boost depending on what your doing.  The i5 is a quad with more cache ram vs the dual core i3.
