The rest of these benchmarks can be found here: http://www.anandtech.com/printarticle.aspx?i=3638
As you can tell the 630 actually beats the tri core 720 due to its extra core.
However in games the 720 really shines out as the faster chip. Either way, both chips are good, but if you have a budget in mind, the 630 is the way to go
However, one edge the 720 has over the 630 is its overclocking ability. Most owners can raise the cpu speed past 3.6ghz. With the 630, the testers couldn't even make it to 3.4ghz

The 720 will outdo the 630 in games, especially if you can unlock the 4th core, but for $47 you should get the 630 and get a nice gpu. Just my
