So I recently purchased a camcorder for home movies and expect to start getting into some video encoding, and I figure now is the time I finally get into a quad-core. My planned software is Adobe Premiere Elements 8.
I'm currently running a Wolfdale E8400 at 3.6Ghz.
What I would like to do is avoid having to upgrade into a new socket and DDR3 and just stick with LGA 775. But are there any benchmarks or info out there that make it painfully obvious that i5 is the way to go? I looked on Anandtech but couldn't find much. All the talk seems to be about AMD these days.
Here are my current thoughts:
Yorkfield 2.83 $280
or
i5 750 $200 + motherboard + DDR3
Any advice appreciated.
