i3 is very slightly more powerful while pentium needs less power.

I would take the i3 because the pentium only supports a maximum of 8gb ram with a speed of 1333 and only one pci expersse 4x slot. The i3 is also a little bit faster but consumes more power. Here you can can compare them in detail:

I forgot to say that I would use it in office purposes.

For office purposes the pentium would be fine. The biggest difference between the two is that the i3 supports hyper threading (2 cores w/ 4 threads vs. the pentium's 2 cores 2 threads).

Isn't that pentium with 4 cores ?

Whoops. But for office use, it still wouldn't matter, get whichever is cheaper.

Pretty sure the Pentium is based on Bay Trail. Not Haswell.

 

i3 will be stronger, and has better integrated graphics.

In general, an i3 always beats a Pentium (there are exceptions with the G3258 OC'd to the moon but that's a different story) and the i5 (barely) beats an i3 etc.

 

If the price is right, go i3.

but why. i mean different architecture and others. G3258 is for desktops right?

yes, for desktops. The G3258 is a high end desktop Pentium but is only powerful because you can overclock it. The i3 would be a performance gain across the board.
