hi all,
i'm new on the forum so first of all...thanks to tom's hardaware forum.
i'm building a workstation to work with zbrush, maya, realflow etc.etc..
Looking around it look like there are 2 solutions: or dual xeon or un i7, (i'm wondering how ecc memory can help in 3d)
Build 1:
370 x 2= 740 euro 2x Intel® Xeon® Processor E5620 (12M Cache, 2.40 GHz, 5.86 GT/s Intel® QPI)
240 euro ASUS Z8NA-D6c - scheda madre - ATX - LGA1366 Socket - i5500 - LGA1366 Socket
250 euro 12gb ram ecc fujizu1033
650 euro quadro 4000
total =1900 euro
Build 2:
550 euro Intel® Core™ i7-3930K Processor (12M Cache, 3.20 GHz)
200 euro ASUS Sabertooth X58 LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
300 euro EVGA 141-GT-E770-A1 LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard
70 x40 280 RAM Corsair venenegance- DDR3 1866MHZ 8GB 2X240 DIMM Rosso
650 quadro 4000
toale=1800
my dilemma is about processors, comparing bus/core ratio..that if i'm not wrong is better if higher...i7 is 57 and xeon is 18, considering also that i7 have higher frequencies....dunno..what would you choose?can someone help me in undestanding what is more important for 3d applications...talking about rendering and fluid simulation..so cpu works
thanks alot, and sorry for my english..probably wrong.
