NO.. You want the fastest processor speed you can afford..
Most of Inventor is still not multithreaded.. So having more cores does NOT help..
A single core 3.5Ghz processor would walk all over that as far as Inventor is concerned.
You want 3.5Ghz and higher IMO.. quad core is fine.
Now post the rest of the system specs..
You want plenty of RAM.. decent gaming video card and 3.5Ghz+ processor. Core i7/Xeon

He is simply incorrect.
Time to set him straight before you get stuck with a crappy computer. 🙂
I suggest a Xeon E5-1650 v2. It should be about the same price as the other CPU, but top at 3.93 GHz versus 2.76 GHz for the E5-2620V2. Also, if the price is the same, spec your RAM using four modules. That will help a little in raw throughput.
If you can wait 2-3 months, the V3 stuff should be out. The biggest difference is DDR4 memory at a higher frequency and adding a couple more cores. That's great for Sim CFD. As to Inventor- a little bit.
