I just copied the build I linked to (two weeks ago) because I wanted to get on and start building a HTPC.Mostly it's worlds more efficient. 73watts vs. 35watts of the Sandy bridge i3. I believe the top speeds are about the same with more power savings on the Sandy Bridge CPU. I've been a little out of the CPU world lately though.
Would it make a noticeable difference on XBMC?
What are you going to use the XBMC box for? You might not even need the power of an i3.
