I have an Intel Core i3-6006U and 8 GB of RAM. My RAM is always 80-90% full.

Now I want a notebook with 16 GB of RAM. I have the choice between i3 and i5. Which processor do I need so that the entire main memory can be addressed? Which generation should it be at least?

If you want performance, it should be at least an i7.

And how do the generations differ? Does a 10th generation i5 not perform better than a 5th generation i7?

Yes, of course, I don't have to repeat the obvious.
