Looking at i7 says it has 8 cores at 4.5ghz
If it took let's say 45 minutes to complete a 1% dEV with the i3 how much faster you think an i7 would make this? I mean it should be quite extreme difference I would imagine?
Your website says the formula of (core*speed) is how fast GTO+ runs the sim so my set up that is 2*3 = 6
with an i7 it would be 8cores at 4.5ghz so 32?
My pc has 4 threads and i7 has 16 threads. does this matter?
Two cores of 3.2gHz is basically a 6.4gHz system.
And 8 cores of 4.5gHz is 36gHz.
So it would roughly be 36/6.4=5.6x faster.
A 45 minute solve would then become 8 minutes.

You would need to upgrade memory as well.
16GB should be sufficient for any regular use.
