In terms of better performance.

Depends what i5 and i7.

Most likely the i5 would be better. Assuming we are talking about consumer desktop chips here.

newer
faster ipc (instructions per clock, at lower clocks newer one performs better)

8th gen i5/i7 has 6 cores vs 4 on 3rd

8th gen while clocked <10% faster is about 30-50% performance boost over 3rd gen i7

And in terms of gaming performance?

again comes down to the evry specific CPU in question. if you look at an i7-3930K then it could outperform soemthing like an i5-8400.

but if you talk about an i7-3770K vs an i5-8600K it looks different.

if not gpu limited, +30-50% in fps

3770K still games fine today. Most games are not about CPU but enough RAM and GPU. And at some extent HDD/SSD speed.

the unlocked 3rd and newer are fine, yes

locked 3rd-8th can be the limiting factor
