Intel Core i3 i5 i7

I'm trying what are these Intel Core i3 i5 and i7. Been to the Intel website, but can't understand much. Just wondering if i3 i5 and i7 is Quad Core? Is it?

And what is the Intel Core 2 Quad Processor?

Confused!

Intel® Core™ i5-540M Processor (2.53GHz, 4 Threads, turbo boost up to 3.06GHz, 3M cache)

Intel® Core™ i7-820QM (1.73GHz, 4 Cores/8 Threads, turbo up to 3.06 GHz, 8MB Cache

Which of the above two is better?

What is an i7-820QM?

What's the difference between 4 cores and 4 threads?

The i5-540M Processor has only 4 threads. Does it mean its still Dual Core and not Quad Core?

And is the i7-820QM Processor a Quad Core?
