I have a 40 GB AVCHD video file. In how much time should I render the final file using a i5-4200U or a similar processor, and a 4GB RAM memory?

I checked now, and the i5-4200u has a 3246 score and the i7-3610 has a 7674 score in passmark cpu benchmark ranking, so, isn't the i7 at least twice better than the i5? So why shouldn't the rendering time cut in at least half?
 
The i7 will be faster, but Passmark is a synthetic benchmark, and I would not expect it to be twice as fast on a real world CPU intensive task such as a video edit. The quad cores of the i7 do help, but never twice as much.

I did a search to confirm, but there are not video benchmarks available between the processors that would make this an easier comparison.
 


That fits with what I was thinking. The desktop parts always work better for these CPU intensive tasks.
