Go for an i7. If you're going to update, get a real good cpu.
The majority of programs are still cpu-limited. Furthermore, virtualization is pretty processor intensive if you want to do rude things like trying to create paravirtualizing partial gaming rigs.
And we're seeing an increasing amount of multicore friendly apps.
At a bare minimum, with more cores you can constrain apps to occupy their own core and not worry too much about the scheduler fucking things up.
