i7 has higher clock speeds, larger cache, and Hyper-Threading. Unless your applications can use Hyper-Threading there's no reason to consider i7
i5 has hyperthreading, doesn't it?
Nope. i3 and i7 do. That's why i5 are so popular for gamers, games mostly don't utilise it
Interesting, never realized that.

I mean I knew that games couldn't use it, I meant about HT in the i5.

Get a different machine for the CAD user, he'll be taxing CPU and GPU heavily. Get him Xeon workstation if you can, ideally something that's certified by CAD vendor. You'd be surprised how quickly they are to blame non-certified hardware if there are any issues with their software.
