I've been searching all over including the extremely useful charts here. I'm trying to justify getting a new system with the i7 920 to replace my current system with an Athlon x2 64 6000+. However, I won't be doing much gaming and mostly video encoding using Nero to convert avi, mpegs and wmv to burn to DVD. I know that multiple cores and hyperthreading really become noticeable in tasks such as video encoding, but how much of an improvement will the i7 920 be over the Athlon64 6000+?
Would it be accurate to say that the i7 920 is 2.4 times faster than my Athlon x2 64 6000+ from what I've shown below?
