i7-720QM: 4 cores, 6 MB L3 cache, No integrated graphics, 45 watt
i5-430M: 2 cores, 3 MB L3 cache, Integrated graphics, 35 watt

In performance, the 720QM. In battery duration and price, the 430M.
The i5-520M is in between (but closer to the 430M) and has Virtualization and AES extensions that are disabled in the 430M, but you won't find those in a store at the moment, just online/customized orders.
430M is a great processor... if you're not doing heavy video editing or want peak performance, it will give a laptop that is lighter and runs longer on battery.
