seems like the AVCHD codec is ahead of what any computer can handle, anyone have experience with this? would a quad-core i7 chip work better than 8-core xeon for editing?

researching a new HD cam and wanting the new panasonic hmc150 but it's AVCHD, i suppose i can get the hpx170 but it's more expensive plus the P2 cards are super expensive and don't hold much (16gig p2 card holds 40 minutes of vid at the setting i will shoot at)

thoughts? also, i use premiere pro cs3 which edits native P2, if i go with AVCHD, i'll have to bump to cs4 which has the all new workflow which i would have to learn.
