not really, since the Celeron 2955U isn't being closed to taxed. The only situations where the i3 is significantly faster is in multithreaded software decoding, because the i3 has a slightly higher clock (1.7GHz vs 1.4GHz) and has hyperthreading (so 4 virtual cores). So it's faster by a non-trivial amount for say Hi10P and HEVC.
