    Gulftown, Sandy-Bridge or Xeon ?

    Posted by Andy Joseph on June 26, 2011 at 8:30 pm

    Hi,

    Considering the fast work flow, for Adobe After Effects CS4 (NOT CS5) which processor is going to be the best deal.?

    i7-980X (Gulf-town)
    Cpu Benchmark: 10,609

    or

    i7-2600K (Sandy Bridge)
    Cpu Benchmark: 9,717

    or

    Xeon-X5660
    Cpu Benchmark:8,550

    All benchmarks are from cpubenchmark (dot) net. I really don’t whether it work in same manner for after effects also.

    Regards
    Sandy

    Having worked with i7 and Xeon workstations I would go with Xeon and loads of RAM.

    Thanks for your sharing your thoughts, Ted

    Yes i think Xeon 5600 series is absolute beast, have seen its reults @ Cinebench 11.5. But i7-2600K is just few steps behind & at dirt cheap price i’m unable to ignore it.

    Just wanted to see if anyone has experienced its (i7-2600K) power with After Effects CS3/4.
