Benchmark Results: Media Encoding
The performance of media encoding applications is dependent on clock rates, instructions per clock (IPC), and parallelization. The Core i5-3570K's Ivy Bridge design gives it a slight advantage in the IPC category, and its frequency is much higher than the Core i5-2400 when we overclock it. But both systems are able to schedule four threads at a time to to their quad-core architectures.
And you're pairing an Ivy Bridge CPU with a P67 motherboard to save a few dollars?
Does anybody proofread these articles?
+1 for the p67 and not a maybe a B75 based mobo like:
or
Z77 based mobo for ~$95 shipped??
Just a though on the mobo situation....
Just want to mention : i dont see the use of including an optical drive in 2012. i cant remember the last time i used an optical drive. And with digital sales outselling physical discs, i dont see why it is included.
Its not about saving $15. Its about buying a part that you will be using less than a couple of times in an year.probably lesser.

I almost thought the motherboard had 3 pcie slots for only $100- that would have been a steal!
