I'm looking to put together a custom workstation build. I'm an architect and multitask extensively with demanding 3d modeling and graphic software including Rhino, 3ds Max, Revit, and vray, as well as the adobe creative suite. While I will always need the ability to produce final quality renders on my desktop, I anticipate relying more and more on cloud-based render farms in the future.
With that said, I'm trying to decide between an i7-5930K - a 3.5 ghz 6 core, or running two Xeon E5 2620 V3 processors, which are 6 cores and 2.4 ghz each.
I know the dual Xeon machine will render faster than the i7, but will I sacrifice too much speed in terms of working in applications? Would I be better suited building an i7 workstation that's cheaper, then later building a dedicated render node with xeons? Would you recommend a different chip selection for either build?
Thanks for any advice.
