Xeon for rendering

[jdmilion]

im assuming a 4 core 8 thread xeon at 2.7gHz would absolutely boss theough rendering at 1080p60fps for youtube?

[Scruffy90]

It would be heavily dependant on the software being used.

[Swndlr]

i mean a 4790k or 5820k would do just fine too

[Atmos]

in most situations for rendering video. Yes.

And cost anywhere from 75% to 150% more!

I'm using a my i5 4690, for 1080p at 60 fps. 

[Lolzious]

Yuuuup.

Which one were you looking at..?

[jdmilion]

I'm using a my i5 4690, for 1080p at 60 fps.

To slow i need 8 cores and a speedy cpu

Yuuuup.

Which one were you looking at..?

The E5-5620. Would oc to 5.8ghz probs.

[Lolzious]

The E5-5620. Would oc to 5.8ghz probs.

Uh. You might want to to get something a bit newer.

Also, you can not over clock Xeons, and 5.8ghz can only be achieved with a reallly exotic cooling solution, so...

[jdmilion]

I'm assuming you mean physical cores over logical cores/threads?

No i mean threads

Uh. You might want to to get something a bit newer.

Also, you can not over clock Xeons, and 5.8ghz can only be achieved with a reallly exotic cooling solution, so...

What would be wrong with it in terms of age?

[jdmilion]

How much are you looking to spend just on the CPU?

I would buy it used for as cheap as physically possible

[D2ultima]

The minute you attempt to cheap-out is when you start getting bad things.

 

If you absolutely must get a cheap RENDERING machine, then a FX-8350 is the way to go.

 

If you want to get a good intel, a larger core XEON or a 4790K would be good. If you don't care about OCing etc, then the Xeon 1231 v3 might be the best idea.

Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1231 v3  How about this one ?

[Lolzious]

Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1231 v3  How about this one ?

Muuuch better

[TheDj408]

Muuuch better

good for rendering? can it compete against 4790 ? not k!

[airdeano]

the xeon is pretty much the same as the 4790 but with a bit slower clock speed,

turbo speed and no onboard graphics with an i5 price tag.

 

Intel® Core™ i7-4790 Processor

 

Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1231v3

Anything little better than e3 1231v3 ? But nothing major price diff ?

I said that I'm using MY i5 5690 to edit and render videos

I think you would be better with a E3-1231 v3 rather than the one you considered
