My laptop (2.4Ghz, 4 core 8 HT) gives me more throughput than the
2.8Ghz, 4 core no HT AMD Phenom 2 in my desktop. I've tried some i5
systems, they seem slow to me. I'm thinking of getting a new 'pooter for
music, and also thinking
of making
it one of the new Ryzen ones. I don't think
there is much point in
going for
more than quad core. The 1500X looks like a good
bet 3.5 to 3.7G,
and not
overly expensive.
My choice is i5 with 4 cores no hyperthread... no video problems...
but
then I don't do video editing or games. Video viewing has been just
fine.
