3570k vs 3770k - which one to buy?

[Demonwar]

As I said in the other thread, gone with the 3570k due to the good prices at the moment.

From almost everything I've read it seems the 3570K is the better deal. Hyperthreading simply doesn't matter for the vast majority of uses - aside from massively processor intensive things such as video rendering. Even then it'll only make a smallish difference and if it's the kind of thing where you set it running and leave it overnight then who cares if it takes a bit longer? In some instances hyperthreading has even been shown to slow down game performance!
