A question about GMPs performance on the Intel Core i3 & i5 processors

I'm considering getting a new computer using, most likely, either an
Intel i3-530 processor (my preference) or an Intel i5-570 processor. In
terms of the performance of GMP, is there any particular reason I should
prefer the latter processor? (The i5-570 has 8MB of level-3 cache, vs
the i3-530's 4MB, but I rarely use GMP for "large" operands, rather I
tend to work mostly with 128..256-bit operands.)
Thanks for any advice that readers might have.
