hi

i would like to ask about the Intel processor which one will be faster and able to work 24/7 for animation rendering

2 x Intel® Xeon® Processor X5690 (12M Cache, 3.46 GHz, 6.40 GT/s Intel® QPI) with Intel workstation bord S5520SC
or
Intel® Core™ i7-3960X Processor Extreme Edition (15M Cache, 3.30 GHz)

some of my friend go with i7-3960x coz the cash is 15M but i'm thinking that if i have Dual Intel® Xeon® Processor X5690 will give more cores for MAX and animation rendering

please if any body can make it clear or conferm what i said . regarding the cost its not big deal but i'm talking about the performance now .

thank you and waiting :wahoo: for reply
 


The I7 would be fine for what you want to do. I wouldn't spend 1000 dollars though on the extreme I7. IMO they're a waste of money. The I7 2600 or 2700 would be fine.

thank you for your kind respond the pc that i have now has Intel® Core™ i7-2600 Processor (8M Cache, 3.40 GHz) and its not fine at all for me taking time to render bid or complicated scenes i like to have something same boxxtech pcs but they so expensive with the same specification of Intel workstation that why i would like get another opinion just between this 2 processors

First of all the Intel® S5520SC with 2 Intel Xeon® X5690 would most likely be the fastest of the options that you outline in your post. However there is an exception to this and that is if you are use an application that can take advantage of the Intel Quick Sync technology and for that you would get the best performance from a Intel Core i7-2600K or a Intel Core i7-2700K. At this point we arent talking about price or anything else just straight out performance.

The Intel Core i7-3930K and the Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition would be nice processors in between the Intel Core i7-2600 and the Dual Intel Xeon set up on the s5520sc board for something like video rendering.

i'm 3D Artist and interior designer working on 3DS MAX with Vray , aoutocad , adobe after effect and Photoshop . Are these applications can take the advantage of the Intel Quick Sync technology . if there are eny Conflict please explain it for me coz i'm not that good in hardware I'm just doing research for week now :)
 
At this time I am NOT finding support for the transcoding performance boost that Intel® Quick Sync gives with those program. Maybe sometime in the future but not at this time.

Sorry for the edit but I missed an important word.

so its useless to buy it this workstation will cost almost 10000$ the strange thing that in boxxtech they are offering a box called 3DBOX8550 with the same configurationfor more that 10000$

the problem with your current setup I'd have to think is your memory, only 4GB of it, i'd also suggest that disk speed might be an issue. hence why your 2600 is thought to be slow.
does your software support cuda? or opencl in which case a quadro/nvidia gpu might help. And more importantly just adding this to your current system might help

He said he have 48 GB of ram and a quadro 5000.

I've just check on intel web site and the i7-2600 supports 32 GB of ram. What OS are you using?
