An i3 cpu has 2 cores to process with, an i5 has 4 cores, and i7 has 6 cores.

 

the more cores the better. a 6 in the i5 6500 means it is part of the skylake series. a 4, (i5 4690 for example) is haswell. 

 

a K version of a processor means it is unlocked, and you can overclock it (manually increase the speed of it) .

A T version of a processor means low power consumption.
 

so a i7 6700k is a skylake, 6 core processor, and is overclockable 

 

a i5 4690 is a haswell 4 core processor, and is not overclockable. 

 

i3 6100T is a skylake 2 core processor and has a lower clock speed, and has a lower TDP. (lower power and heat) and cannot be overclocked. 

 

I don't know if this is 100% accurate but it is my understanding.
