Video rendering is one of the things that will take advantage of hyperthreading since it can utilize all the cores. Regardless if it's 1080p or lower it will still be a difference in speed, maybe not super super huge but you will have faster rendering with the 2600k. It's your choice if you want to pay the extra $ for it.
And yes it's better than the AMD processor. It's basically i7 2600k without hyper-threading (which does not matter much in games since they aren't very multi-thread-optimized.).

That is the old generation. This is the "new" i5: http://www.tigerdire...3161&CatId=6988
