Just an update in my research: the closest thing to the answer that I've found was this review. http://techreport.com/articles.x/20188/17 Since the encoding time usign QuickSync between an i5 2500k (HD 3000) and i3 2100 (HD 2000) was only 12% - and with the huge difference in...

Yeah, the E3-1235 is very interesting. But it's out of my budget - here I just found the E3-1230 (that don't have HD graphics) and it's already 12% pricier than an i5 2500k... Just to put in perspective, here in Brazil an 2500k is US$ 334,00...:eek:

Yeah, Cyberlink says that it's supported in Version 9, but you're right about the updates. Since version 9 is somewhat new, maybe they already inserted the QuickSync support - MediaEspresso supports QuickSync since the Sandy Bridge launch. If it's not supported already, it will be soon.

That's one of my doubts. In theory, yes, it's true, but this comparison was not made anywhere - especially with the i5 2500 and 2500k. The QuickSync engine, at least in Intel's documents, have a lot of circuitry dedicated only to do it, but some of the processing is done in the IGP EU's.

Thanks for the info. Do you know how much faster? I don't know if it's only because of the IGP type. The E3-1245 have the same clock values (3.3 / 3.7 Ghz) than the i5 2500, greater than the 2100 and 2400; and have 4 cores and 8 threads - the i5 line have 4 cores and 4 threads (no...

I will probably work with AVCHD all the times. My current video card is crap - an old ATI HD 2650, that was not recognized by PowerDirector 9 even after Ati Avivo was installed. :) But since in all the reviews that I've read the QuickSync performance (and quality) were much better that using...

Hi to everybody. I'm a long time Anandtech reader, but just now I've entered the foruns. (and English is not my primary language, sorry for the mistakes) :) I'm starting to work with 1080p videos, and my old setup (an Athlon x2 4000) started to show his age. I've decided to come back to Intel...
