EDIT : Might have just been the benchmark.
But yes, the 1100T is better at rendering, but that's only due to it being 6 core.

The 2500k beats the 1100T in the majority of rendering stuff, that can't take advantage of the 6 cores fully, like I assume, handbrake however can.
No it doesn't.

Indeed.
I want it to be good, I'd love to jump back into an AMD set up on a CHV, but only if the 8130 is clock for clock almost as good as the 2500k.
Why does this matter? Price-for-price is the comparison you should be looking at, at both stock speeds and maximum expected overclock.Indeed.

The i7-990X is faster clock-for-clockthan the i7-2600K but everyone would agree that the i7-2600K is a better buy.
EDIT: What clocka said.
Oh, you're talking about clock-for-clock and core-for-core? Well in that case, yes, single-threaded performance is important. But it's still dependant on price.
I imagine a 6-core version will be in the i5-2500K price bracket.
Impressive results if true, especially as an engineering sample with lower clocks (retail 8130p is supposed to be 3.8GHz base, and able to turbo all 8 cores to 4.2GHz, or take 4 cores or less to 4.8GHz).
If the >5Ghz air overclocks are commonplace at retail it's got real potential.
But so is the 1100T now, the 2500k will still win, but where the 1100T wins now, the gap will be greater. So again, good for rendering etc.
