i3-3225 vs i5-760 for video ripping?

I have a file box full of DVDs of old TV shows that I want to rip (with Handbrake) onto a hard drive & get rid of the DVDs.

My current system is per my sig, but I also have an old, working, i5-760 (4C/4T) with 8GB RAM stashed in a closet.

With four "real" cores would the i5-760 be faster than the two-core + two hyperthreads on an i3-3225? Does the Ivy Bridge QuickSync make a difference in my application?

I think I was able to OC the i5-760 to 3.5Ghz. Of course, the i3-3225 tops out at 3.3Ghz. I forget what video card I have in the i5-760, but it was a basic (i.e. sub-$100) card.

I think the i5-760 might be faster, but I don't know, have you looked at some benches?

The i5 760 will be faster I suspect,although the Core i3 has AVX.

I would probably run encodes on both rigs to find out.

Looks like a classic case of side-grade if you ask me unless the IGP, lower power and heat really means something to you.

Well, with only one keyboard/mouse, it's a bit tedious to keep swapping back and forth.

I get the feeling from above posts that the CPUs are pretty comparable, and not worth the hassle of getting the old one out of storage and set up again. If there were a significant difference in performance I could justify it, but I don't see it.

AND, this may all have been an exercise in futility. On the very first DVD I chose at random out of the box, Handbrake chokes on one of the episodes. The first three episodes on the DVD went pretty smoothly, but the fourth one Handbrake keeps assembling the "chapters" in a random order. I just happened to take a peek at that episode in VLC and noticed the opening credits and opening scene were after the closing credits. I re-did the rip two more times and came up with *different* chapter orders. Sheesh.

That DVD plays fine in a generic DVD player attached to my TV.

I really didn't plan on having to view each and every episode -- hundreds of them -- before feeling comfortable discarding the DVDs. Crap.

The silver lining to this debacle was the cpuboss.com link from spat55. Thanks! I like the way that site compares the CPUs.

Yes, I really like that site, has it all laid out really plainly so you can see what you need to see.

Maybe it would be worth investing in a paid DVD ripping program. Even then though, I had problems with the program (Any DVD I think it was) assembling everything correctly.

nvm i5 760 gets my vote. Quicksync does work nicely with Software that supports it.

Yep, Handbrake does nothing with encryption/copy protection, nor should it. Also, your disc drive will be worn down in a hurry with all Handbrake's small reads. AnyDVD isn't cheap (and there are cheaper, though less functional, alternatives), but provides a quick rip that strips any copy protection and gives Handbrake a clean source to work from.
