Which cpu for 4k video editing and rendering?

[XTR0N2]

Hey guys, so I am really thinking I am going to upgrade my production quality to 4k, so I figured I would probably need a new cpu and, if I need to, mobo. I don't want to have to replace 32GB of ddr3 with 16+Gb of ddr4, so i think I will just use regular lga 2011 on something like an x79 board. So anyway, here are my choices right now:

i7 4790k (I figure this probably won't cut it, but I would like an opinion anyway.)

i7 3930k

i7 3960x (although after looking at benchmarks this probably isn't really going to perform that much better than an i7 3930k.)

i7 4930k

xeon e5 2630

 

Thanks to anyone who replies

I'd personally pick the 3930k out of that lot.

5820k

The Xeon e5 2630

5820k

what?

[Enderman]

what?

5820k is better than all of those, and you can find used ones pretty cheap, about the same as the 4790k

[XTR0N2]

also i would like to say I will pick 2 and then put them up against each other on cpuboss.com

[iBeast_M0de]

what?

I hope that guy is trolling he ment the X99 6 core

you're probably right, but the 5820k is lga 2011-3, which would require me to swap out all of my ram, which is ddr3

[XTR0N2]

ik, that's why it didn't really make sense

[iBeast_M0de]

Good So I guess he was trolling then, if I were u I would go for the 3930k

[XTR0N2]

ok thanks

[Coaxialgamer]

get the 4930k .

i would get the 5820k , but since you don't want to replace your memory...

[Coaxialgamer]

The Xeon e5 2630

why ?

It's the slowest of the bunch , only has 6 cores , and is not overclockable .

[XTR0N2]

why ?

It's the slowest of the bunch , only has 6 cores , and is not overclockable .

it does have the highest geekbench 3 multi core score (25,908) of all of them though, and has 15mb of l3 cache

[Coaxialgamer]

it does have the highest geekbench 3 multi core score (25,908) of all of them though, and has 15mb of l3 cache

how is that possible ?

i know the cache helps , but it has 6 cores running at 2.3 ghz compared to the  3930k and 4930k's 3+ghz

i know it might be  very small difference, but it actually is 2.6 ghz and turbo to 3.1

I have no idea why it scores so high in geekbench though

probably difference in testing environment or something , or a fluke.

guess it doesn't matter anyway.

whichever overclocks highest out of the 3930k and 4930k. 

 

it does have the highest geekbench 3 multi core score (25,908) of all of them though, and has 15mb of l3 cache

it might do at stock, but that isn't really relevant. once you put even a 10-20% oc on the other they will be much faster.

Good point, but I'm also factoring in power consumption, something the xeon will probably handle considerably better than either i7. I'll use a power supply calculator or something like that to figure it all out

surely getting your work done faster out weigh to cost of electricity

ok so it seems like 3930k is better than 4930k for oc'ing, so it's either that or the xeon, thanks everybody for your help.

look at the xeon 1650 v1 and v2 as well.

[XTR0N2]

look at the xeon 1650 v1 and v2 as well.

I know I may be a little late on this but the website I was looking at's benchmarks were WAY off (about 10,000 points) from the actual score on the website, so the 2630 v2 isn't really much of an upgrade. I will look into the xeon e5 1650 v2 as well and then compare that with the 3930k and 4930k. Thank you for your help.

[XTR0N2]

Also, what about something like an older xeon e5 2680 v1? would that get the job done? Based on benchmaks that thing suddenly looks really enticing
