Xeons are crucial for working with large files like Red/Epic and alike.
I wanted a system that could handle a wide range of formats and codecs.
Overclocking seems to be implemented more by gamers and hobbyists. I know of no edit facilities or professionals that overclock. This is mostly due to the need for constant use (20 hours a day and 7 days a week).
If your workflow doesn’t encompass any of the above concerns, then I would encourage you to get the l7-overclocked system. 😀
