Hyperthreading for video editing?

I'm deciding if I should buy the 6700k or save money and get the 6600k. I mainly do gaming (LoL, CS:GO, BF4) and video editing with Premiere and After Effects. If I were to get the 6700K which has hyperthreading, would it make a noticeable difference for video editing (or maybe gaming)?

I'm almost certain it wont' do much for gaming. For video editing, however, I would expect a considerable improvement.

Thy hath sinneth, and in thy life thou hast fallen to an unholy, unspeakable level of humanity. Thou hast given into your basest needs. And suffered many years under thine Satan-box. However, if thine be willing, as thy hast show yourself to be, thy can ascendeth into thy glorious fold of the glorious church. Go well, my brother, may your temps be low and your frames high. ~ MrDynamicMan

As far as I know any good video editing software will use all the cores you have for, if nothing else, at least rendering, but most likely scrubbing and that kind of thing too.  A fair bit of RAM wouldn't hurt for After Effects either.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Its about a 10-30% improvement depend on programs(with aftereffects being around 23%, and premier being around 11% in my testing).
