Need some guidance in regards to upgrade my system

2 extra cores dont matter much when talking about 8 cores, especially when you are not doing server-grade stuff. Givng a consumer CPU more cores also reduces its overall clockspeed, e.g. i5-7200U has 2 cores 4 threads and i5-8250U has 4 core 8 threads but their performance is similar.
The thing about not going Intel right now is because 11th gen is around the corner and this time (2020-2021) every chip manufacturer seem to be offering extra performance leaps compared to previous generations (Nvidia, AMD CPUs & GPUs, Apple, and according to rumors, Intel); So if you need Intel and you could wait, I would recommend 11th gen which likely has a similar price point as 10th gen; And if you cant wait, Id recommand Ryzen.

Highly depends on the CPU and workload, but Id say 3-10%. But you can always leave that on the table until you hit a good time to upgrade your memory modules.
