It based on your needs. If you're planning to use 2570p as a portable laptop, then you have 2 variants: take a most powerful 2/4 (e.g. 3540M) CPU or a most powersaving 4/8 (3612QM). Both of these choices will bring a noticeable performance improvement over base i3/i5 cpu. I suggest to take a 2/4 cpu since it will consume less power in the lightweight scenarios like web browsing or text stuff (but for multithreading apps 4/8 is a better choice). If you will use it at home and ready to make some cooling improvements, then you can give a look for 3740qm.
The graphics part (HD4000) is too slow and lacks support nowadays, and the cooling system of the 2570p not designed for 4/8 and heavy tasks. If you're good with the current performance, then it makes sense to just leave it as is.

thank you in advance for detailed informations. I have red on the first page that a good CPU with a TDP of 35W and "cooler" temperature could be the 3632QM. From your info I understand that this CPU is a compromise between 3612QM and 3740QM. What do you think about?

Hi to all, I have recovered an old HP 2570p with SSD and RAM upgrade. Now it's really quick with Win10. I woud like to know if a CPU upgrade it would be a good improvement. Thank you.
