Timing rules can be very different even between different models of the same processor, let alone between different ranges (i3 vs i7) or generations (Skylake etc). An example: https://gmplib.org/~tege/x86-timing.pdf

I don't think there are any differences between an i3 and i7 of the same generation in terms of instruction timings.
True, caches are a whole different story though.
