Is the 4th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-4570 processor good for video editing?

Solution
Hop on craigslist and see if you can maybe find a good deal on a used i7 based laptop. Just double check on Intel's site that it is a quad core model and not a dual core one. Some mobile i7's are nothing more than mobile i5's with more cache.

Thanks everyone. When you say not that fast, how slow are we talking? I'm on a bit of a tight budget so not sure if I can afford an i7, is the i5 still worth the money?

Found one of these - it has an i7-3610QM - for nearer my price range: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/laptops/1292353/toshiba-satellite-p855-307 what do you think?
