    6 Core VS Quad Core – and Intel still better for video?

    Posted by Guy Smith on July 4, 2011 at 1:05 am

    (The following is specifically in reference video editing and compositing only):

    Dear all, its time again to upgrade to a new system, and as we medium-income people know, you’re kind of stuck with what you get for a year or so, and it’s important to get it right!
    What are anyone’s thoughts on 6-core systems VS 4-core? My concern is that 6-core is only better if all the cores are used / are necessary.
    Would I be right in thinking a 3.4Ghz Quad core may be better than a 3.0Ghz Six core for AE and Premier purposes?

    Any specific $1000 range systems that you recommend would be a bonus!
    Thankyou!
    Guy

    RAM per core is more crucial than the number of cores in your system. 4GB of RAM per core is what you should aim for given a budget constraint.

    thanks, so 16gb for a quad core for starters.
