More cores or less?

Go to solution Solved by SteveGrabowski,

For editing, the CPUs from best to worst are probably

 

1. Xeon E7, Xeon E5 series (6 to 15 cores plus HT)

2. Enthusiast i7 series (6 to 8 cores plus HT)

3. Mainstream i7 and Xeon E3 series (quacores plus HT)

4. FX-8 series (octacores)

5. i5 series (quadcores w/o hypertheading)

 

Basically, moar corez all the way except for mainstream i7/XeonE3 over FX-8. Seems like it's hard to beat the incredible value an FX-8350 offers this use case scenario where you're editing video and images, unless you can afford enthusiast i7s or Xeon E5 or better.

What's better for editing. Using Sony Vegas Pro 13 and Photoshop cs6.

Not gaming eh? Then throw everything you've heard out of the window. 

 

More cores = better

better = faster render times

faster render times = more time for gaming

gaming = less cores

less cores = more cash?

more cash = more ways to spend that cash

more ways to spend that cash = buying a new game... Hmmm

new game = half life three!    Half life three confirmed!

Why the i5 over the FX-8350?
