Grem Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 @Jim Roseberry Have you run any tests on these yet? What is the biggest benefit for having this CPU? Just raw power? Or helps in a mix? Or is it all about low latency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are making money off what you do the investment is not worth it. https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails?ItemList=Combo.3979381 With something like that I would go with the whole 256 gigs of RAM. It seems like a dream for those in video editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 10980xe will be popular with folks who are more "hard-core" composers. With 18 cores, the 10980xe will be good for heavily multi-threaded scenarios (large scale projects). The advantage vs. Threadripper will be better performance at smallest ASIO buffer sizes (because higher clock-speed). Threadripper is amazing at heavily multi-threaded scenarios (video rendering)... but its Achilles-Heel is trying to work at extremely low latency. ie: Say you have a Presonus Quantum... which lets you work at 96k using a 32-sample ASIO buffer size. That translates to 1ms (measured) total round-trip latency. Working at such low latency is not something that lends itself to being heavily multi-threaded (spread across multiple cores). This is where clock-speed is critical. The 10980xe is a more "balanced" choice than Threadripper. You've got good multi-threaded performance... AND... good ultra low latency performance. The new 10900k (socket-1200) is turning up the heat on all the above. 10 cores 20 processing threads 5.3GHz clock-speed Runs quiet with quality air-cooling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when those other XE processors came out. Whoa!! I thought they were nuts asking that kind of money for a proc. 4 hours ago, Jim Roseberry said: The advantage vs. Threadripper will be better performance at smallest ASIO buffer sizes (because higher clock-speed).

I've been reading that the new Threadrippers were beasts also. Was wondering how they matched up to Intel's best. 4 hours ago, Jim Roseberry said: The new 10900k (socket-1200) is turning up the heat on all the above. 10 cores 20 processing threads 5.3GHz clock-speed Runs quiet with quality air-cooling I was looking at this! Not much more ($469) than what I spent on my i9 ($429). Edited August 21, 2020 by Grem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
