Hi,
My current PC is based on the x79 chipset socket 2011. I am looking for options to upgrade my CPU. I will be mainly using Premiere Pro and AE working with 4k footage from the Panasonic GH5.
Considering that my motherboard is the ASUS® SABERTOOTH X79, from the list of supported CPU on ASUS' website, my best options are:
Core i7-4960X - 6 Core (3.6Ghz, L3:15M, 6C, HT, 130W, rev.S1)
Intel Xeon E5-2687W v2 - 8 Core (3.4Ghz,150W,L3:20M,8C,HT)
Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2 - 10 Core (3.0Ghz,130W,L3:25M,10C,HT)
Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 - 12 Core (2.7Ghz,130W,L3:30M,12C,HT)
My question is, from the above, what would be my best option? should I go for the higher core count or clock speed?
I found most of the CPUs listed above for similar price range on ebay. So the price shouldn't really be a factor.
I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
