Unfortunately, not a great deal, considering the i5-3570k is regularly on sale for $200 and under. SabrePC just recently had it for $189. Even with the 10% off on V.me, I'd take a i5-3570k @ $189 over a i5-2500k @ $180 any day.
Newegg.com even has the i5-3570k on sale for $214.99 after using code EMCXTXW22. For the $15 difference, I'd definitely go with the i5-3570k. Last edited by BigJ2078; 03-02-2013 at 08:37 AM.. |

2500k overclocks better than the 3570k, but there's a ~7% performance improvement. |

I'm running both the 2500k and 3570k in two separate equivalent machines. I'd be hard pressed to see any difference in performance between both CPU's in typical gaming / encoding usage.
I know they benchmark differently, but I personally see no difference at all. Still $200 for a 2500k is a bit pricey |
