Hi guys,
New rig, (occasional gaming, primarily for 3D modeling and unity light maps - both CPU dependent for my particular workflow) I have been looking at the entry level Broadwell 6800k but also want to know if the Xeon E5-2630v4 would be better for similar price (considering the additional price of a decent loop system to OC the Broadwell).
- Xeon has 40 PCI lanes - (I dont need), and importantly 4 more cores but they are significantly slower and cant be OC like the i7. It will be $190 or so more but that is negligible if it is reasonably better. Will it be better?
- i7 can run the 2400 ram, xeon only 2133. Does this matter significantly?
- Other considerations? or different choices all together?
Thing is I have no idea which one will perform better for my purposes - could somebody let me know of any comparisons or which benchmarks I should be looking at? (or if there is another processor I should be considering). Much appreciated - I know very little about this.
(I do a lot of 3D modeling (Zbrush - still CPU dependent and looking to remain so sadly into the future) and light map baking in Unity. - Currently I have to wait for ages with some of this, or it just times out completely)
