Trinity is for another segment - Budget.

You should get i7-2600/i5-3450 for yourself.

Over i3 I'll choose Trinity though when it gets released. Hands down.

Hariman are you willing to buy a dedicated graphic card ?
IMO , Core I series will be best . Specially when combined with a good GPU.

Gfx designing tools like Adobe Suite will be better with quad-core processor , I3 will be a bad idea , seriously.
Even some new games these days use around 3-4 cores.

Well Trinity is designed to get a decent graphic and decent processing keeping the budget in mind.

What you need is a good processing capability per core.
Bulldozer is out there with 8 cores , and most of Core I-5 SB with 4 cores.

However if you match the performance per core wise , you will find SB dancing circles around FX.
A quad-core CPU will be enough for average video editing and development.
Spend on a good quad-core SB CPU, rather than FX , it will be worth it.
