Ivy Bridge vs Haswell for Notebook Video Editing

For a notebook PC dedicated to video editing, am I going to see any significant different between an Ivy Bridge and a Haswell ?

I read that the Haswell runs 30 C hotter. Is this true ?

If so, it would seem to be an important drawback on a notebook.

Thanks in advance.

30c is crazy talk but it suffers from the same problem IB did as its mostly a die shrink now with some added GPU, the actual contact area for the CPU is much smaller then SB was, meaning even though it used less power it, it is harder to keep cool. On the desktop the situation is better for HW because they used a better compound between the spreader and the CPU. On laptops they don't have heat spreaders, so it really is going to be a rather small difference.

As for performance. I doubt that anyone would notice the difference between the two. HW is maybe at best 5% IPC better which doesn't amount to much even in long term encoding and such. Real world probably about 2-3% difference.

Between the 3630qm and the 4700mq (probably the models you would be looking at) Haswell is approximately 5-10% faster in synthetic tasks such as cinebench. The 4700mq is approximately equal to the 3720qm. There is little to no difference so buy haswell if the price difference is very small, otherwise ivy bridge is fine.

There are little to no temperature differences as that is due mostly to the cooling system of the laptop.
 
Preliminary results seem to indicate considerably better battery life for Haswell, and the igp is somewhat stronger, otherwise, as others have said, there is not a lot of difference from IB. So at the same price point, I would go with Haswell, but if the ivy is cheaper, it would be a good choice.
