Intel Core i9 7980XE 2.6GHz 18-Core Extreme Edition for 3D and multimedia?
Ive seen that Intel has released some new super chips with lots of cores. I9 with 10 cores for around 1000 dollars and the Extreme edition for around 1600 dollars. Now I wonder, can it be of a good thing to get one and what good can it do for us artists? Which software, renderers etc. They cost alot, and I mean alot. but I… -

maximum clock speed per core and around 4 - 8 cores would make the most sense to me for interactive tasks. last time i checked, 6-core 3,7 to 4 ghz seemed like the sweet spot for 3D. i'm on 4-core 4 ghz and usually have enough CPU headroom to have a whole bunch of tasks running. RAM tends to be more of an issue now for me… -

The benefits / disadvantages of going with high core count CPUs are listed in the first post here (CPUs > What to Know): http://polycount.com/discussion/173350/upgrading-or-building-a-new-pc-this-is-the-thread-for-you/p1 Or to quote myself from a recent post in that thread: As for video editing...I think scrub speed has… -

I could be wrong but your typical 3D software package wouldn't be able to take full advantage of so many cores (Maya is just barely in the early stages of supporting multi-threading, for example). I think they still benefit more from having a workstation class GPU than anything else. Imo it's only really worth that kind of… -

Its good to get some insight regarding this matter. I understand it a litlle better now. I thought for awhile that with so many cores, you can shoot out more commands into different chambers and it would enchance some of the work. Im ruunning a SKylake I7 6800 with 64GB of DD4 and its fast, but now when I read this, I… -

That sounds solid. The price range between 1070 and 1080 is not that bad and I think that it could benefit me more. Then we have the TI, which in fact should be around 30% faster. Or, if I get two 1070 and put them together. I will have to do some real research for these cards have pros and cons. Im a concept artist… -

I'd go for nVidia, the new 10x serie are really great and kinda cheap. I used a 1070 and I have crazy good performance in Substance Painter / Mari and GPU rendering is hella fast. -

Take a 1070 or a 1080 if you can aford it and you'll be fine ! -
