Hi, I'm currently still using my old Acer Core 2 Duo T6600 laptop with 4gb RAM. I use mostly Lightroom & Photoshop. I'm quite ok with the speed when dealing with jpg files, but raw is kinda slow. Will upgrading my laptop to a new one with Intel i5 processor make it very much faster? Or only slightly faster? Don't wanna upgrade my laptop to find it only about the same speed. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks!

The i5 is only dual core right? Will it be much faster? Unfortunately dun have budget for i7. I don't do video processing, only photo for now. Thanks!

Yes I know the newer processors would be faster but just wondering faster by how much.. If it's just marginally faster, then maybe I'll just keep my old laptop to save money. But if faster by a lot, I'd consider getting a new one.
