The systems listed above sound good if you can afford it. For other people an off the shelf system might work OK.

Amost..that i7 processor isn’t as fast as a Xenon

Read my blog, Little Frog in High Def -
[Shane Ross] “Amost..that i7 processor isn’t as fast as a Xenon”
The i7s have Quick Sync but the new Xeons have AVX-512. The Canon Lake CPU are supposed to get the AVX-512 instruction set. Having said that the consumer CPUs often offer a better bang for the buck. There is no doubt in my mind the system below will hold it’s own against an entry level iMac Pro.

@Shane didnt get what you saying..

anyone

unfortunately no such cpu exists.
AE likes 4 cores at a really high clock speed. premiere likes 10 cores at a really high clock speed and c4d (render) likes 20 cores with dual gpu’s. c4d (design, animation) likes high freq 8700k because it only utilizes a single core.
closest you could get for all three would be a really expensive 7940x.

budget is not an problem
i also like new W series
W Series
W-2155 with 10 core 13.75M L3 Cache and 3.3 Ghz 4.5 Ghz Turbo Boost
W-2195 with 18 Core 24.75M L3 Cache and 2.6 Ghz 4.5 Ghz Turbo BoostGold Series
Intel® Xeon® Gold 6136 Processor (3 GHz, up to 3.7 GHz w/Turbo Boost, 24.75 MB cache, 2666MHz, 12 core)
Intel® Xeon® Gold 6140 Processor (2.3 GHz, up to 3.7 GHz w/Turbo Boost, 24.75 MB cache, 2666 MHz, 18 core) -
The gold series is clocked too low for design/graphics hybrid workstations. The W-2195 would have more cores for c4d rendering but slower in the other apps.
if you must have EEC memory, I’d go with the W-2155 as it is the most comparable to 7940 series although 1% slower and more expensive.

does L3 Cache memory means alot ?

Manish, if you are going to use one (1) processor don´t buy a computer with two processor sockets since the price goes up drastically. Buy a two socket computer only if you buy it with two processors. ☺
If you plan to use one (1) processor, aim for a workstation with one (1) processor socket. ☺
For HP, look at the Z4 and for DELL i am not sure what model they have. (5820?) Unfortunately the Z4 is not on sale yet, but if you can wait you will save lot´s of money.
