CPU for video editing

[okizen]

Is the i7 cpu faster and more powerful than the QX9300 cpu for video editing/transcoding?

 

[frozenlead]

Yes.

 

[okizen]

Thanx.

yes but more expensive, quad processor with a 775 socket is more price way

We aren't really talking about LGA 775 setups here though. The QX9300 is a mobile xtreme chip for socket P (I believe, or it's M). It is slower than any i7 on the market (2.53ghz vs an i7 920 @ 2.66) and the QX9300 is ridiculously expensive, suggested retail of over $1000: http/ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=36727&processor=QX9300&spec-codes=SLB5J
