Yes it will. It's 2.5-3 times as fast. It still won't be fast enough for a lot of games even at minimum settings but it is tremendously faster than an HD 2000/2500.

The Sandy Bridge Intel HD graphics and HD 2000 are the same IGP. The only difference is that certain features are disabled in the drivers when cpu models with the "HD graphics" are detected (quicksync, media insider, hardware accelerated blu-ray 3D decoding, hardware accelerated video post-processing effects, etc.). But they perform exactly the same. The same thing goes for Ivy bridge Intel HD vs. HD 2500.
Protip: The "Intel HD Graphics" name has now been used with 4 completely different IGPs all with completely different architectures, performance, features, drivers, and supported APIs (if you count the upcoming haswell pentium chips which will continue using the name). Intel has invented one of the most confusing product naming systems that I have ever seen.

I concede that point; you are correct. Still the benefits he receives, in dolphin, from upgrading his CPU to one with hd 4000 will pale in comparison to spending that same amount of money on a dedicated video card.

I have no room in my ITX Case for dedicated video card ! So i also need to buy a new Case with Power supply... and then im not sure if i can use my SLIM-BluRay drive...
So i need so buy: Videocard, Case, Power Supply (if not included), BluRay Drive... but then i only have the Pentium inside and no new CPU...
Ohh well.. Looks not bad... what about this GPU: AMD HD7750 mutch bader then the GTX650 ?
It looks like you could mod the case to fit a low profile graphics card. You just have to decide if it's worth the time and effort. As NV said HD 4000 will still not be fast enough for a lot of games even at minimum settings. You mentioned in your first post you wanted to use "2x ir or 4x ssaa" Your not going to be able to do that regardless of what cpu you have without a dedicated graphics card. SSAA is out of the question all together without a complete new system. 4x SSAA chokes my system, 4.5ghz i5 with gtx 660, on recent builds.
So to answer your original questions. No a new cpu won't help you and you shouldn't waste the money upgrading this system. Yes you should just build a new system.
Edit: Guess I left the page up too long. The last two posts weren't here.
4xIR + 8x MSAA ?
GTX 660 Ti (not sure ) ,GTX 670 , GTX 680 , GTX Titan , AMD 7950 (not sure) , AMD 7970
Ok Thanks a lot.. ill check my money nect month :-) but first i need to get my Wiimote working... otherwise it make no sense
