3570k vs 3770k

[huayingjie]

I am planning to build my first dual boot Hackintosh, I already bought a Galaxy 670 GC card, 16gb of memory, and now I can't decide between 3570k and 3770k. I am going to do a lot of graphics design using photoshop and AI, autoCad will also something I would like to work with, is the 3570K powerful enough for these kind of tasks? Motherboard recommendation are also welcomed (I want the maximum compatibility, ud5h is my first choice for now)

3570k WILL be fine trust me, the i5 3570k 3.4ghz is amazing

The 3770k will make a difference in 3D Studio. But not much for everyday stuff.

The main difference between the 3570K and the 3770K is that 3770K supports hyperthreading. This gives you 8 threads instead of 4, but still only about a 10-30% performance increase. And that only provided you actually use all the threads at the same time. Most software will not even use more than two. Some graphics software, however, will use more.
