I own both a SandyBridge dual-core and an IvyBridge dual-core(i3-3225) CPU. I've always skimped on the cores in the past to save money.
But I am considering adding a Haswell CPU to my family of computers and I think I may purchase my first quad-core CPU. One reason I am wanting to go from dual-core to quad-core is for increased performance when converting/compressing/encoding/decoding HD video using Intel's quick-sync feature.
It currently takes my IvyBridge 4+ hours to compress a 50GB Blu-Ray disc to a 25GB Blu-Ray using DVDFab9.
Now my simple question is, is the Intel quick-sync features performance affected by the HD series numbers? In other words, is there any difference between a HD 4000, HD4400, HD4600(and whatever other number the series includes) in the context of using the quick-sync features?
If I got a Haswell quad-core with the crummiest HD graphics(no numbers) would the quick-sync be as good and as fast as the HD4600?
