No you are king of the hill already. If that processor is not giving you stupendous performance something else is wrong. 

 

Let us know what issues you are having that you believe require a cpu upgrade.

The i7-5600U is a low voltage processor so naturally runs a little slower than the standard versions but is as good as it gets for your laptop series. 

 

For the uses you describe I can see where you can use as much power as you can get. The only line HP would have that is more powerful would be something like the Zbook Mobile workstation series.
