I cant seem to find any benchmarks of the 2620 to compare against the 5820. Comparing the specifications I see that the 2620 has a lower base clock and lower turbo clock(400 mhz lower). I want to know how that impacts real world performance. The reason I would prefer the 2620 is the lower idle power consumption and heat production. The additional PCIE lanes may prove useful for future expansion because right now the system would have a video card, raid controller and a cable card tuner which almost maxes out the lanes. I really don't want to spend more on the 5830 because that would push my budget.
The PC would be an all in one, HTPC, gaming system, plex server, VM host(1 or 2) and would probably see some duty encoding home videos.
What are your thoughts on one versus the other?
