I try not to keep up with modern hardware until I can afford it so I might be wrong, but I believe a low-end Core i3 will not be much faster for MAME than a 3GHz Core 2 Duo.
To use a Core i CPU, you'll need a new motherboard and new DDR3 RAM as well. If I were you I would wait until I could afford a faster CPU.
