i5 750 to i5 3330

[lungerman]

Got an old i5 750 found a newer i5 3330 can i swap it? Or is that a no go? Not a tech guy but YouTube can show me how some research lead me to something about L115 socket or something

Nope, different sockets. Your only upgrade option is an i7 8xx.

Yep.
Not much point in anything unless you build a new system completely such as Skylake (i5-6600K for example) or AMD's AM4 upcoming socket. I think the 8C/16T CPU will be their first 14nm, Zen CPU and hopefully a good value.

It should get roughly 2X the performance of the FX-8350 (which I assume means hyperthreading and using all 16 threads in video editing or something).

We should see six and four-core CPU's later. Probably they will include defective 8-cores once they build up enough and solder off the defective sections.

AMD needs to aggressively undercut Intel to bring back its market share, however since Intel charges $1000USD approximately for its cheapest 8-core, we'll probably need to wait for 4/6-cores for reasonable prices as I'm guessing AMD could easily charge $500 for the eight core.

The i5-750 isn't horrible for most tasks. I originally had my GTX680 in an i7-960 and that was a great experience.

The i5-3330 is roughly 50% better than the i5-750 though in games that is often much less of a difference depending on the game, settings etc.

For converting VIDEO that should match up though. Such as 67 minutes for the i5-3330 and 100 minute for the i5-750.

*The i5-750 overclocks doesn't it?

If so then 4GHz would give a 25% boost though I don't have any idea what's actually possible.
