i3-3220 Ivy Bridge vs Phenom II X4 965 BE
What is better for gaming?
What is better for video-editing and rendering (I use Sony Vegas Pro and After Effects)?
Which is better for both?
Which is better overall?
i3-3220 costs about 6$ more than the Phenom. Phenom II X4 has 4 true cores which could be handy for Sony Vegas and After Effects but will I see any difference from the i3-3220 which has 2 cores and 4 threads? Phenom II X4 has no L3 Cache and has very very old architecture, but then again, its 4 cores weighs very big on my decision-making.
