Hello all! Basically this post I think would be geared to more techy hardware individuals. While cost isn't my main concern. I can build this, and expect multi threaded performance to be awesome. Iv always wanted to build a dual CPU PC/WS. I looked at the HP Z800 but the proprietary power supply with only 2X 6pin just isn't happening. I also dont want to mod wires and cases to have it work. So this leads me to the Asus ZP9PE-D8 WS. My current PSU/case/fans/hdd/gpu will all work great onboard that.
My main area of questions is for single threaded performance/multi for CPU's
Intended build using some parts already have:
(1 or 2)E5-2620 V2
64GB DDR3
2X 290x 4GB
256SSD Boot
ZP9PE-D8 WS
Comparing both CPU:
Xeon 2620 V2 CPU- 2.1GH/z has 51GB/s memory bandwidth and 15MB cache
FX-9370 AMD CPU- 4.4GHZ has 32GB/s memory bandwidth and 8mb/L2 and 8mb/L3
So what I'm getting at is for example: One Xeon VS the One AMD
While the AMD is clocked higher GHZ,
-the xeon has 12 threads vs 8 threads
-51GB memory bandwidth vs 31GB
-single large 15MB cache vs 2 8mb cache-
xeon/intel(enterprise grade?) drivers vs AMD drivers
I'm wondering in what areas this (xeon) will be slower/faster in specific tasks (converting video/encoding) then the AMD ect. And the same information but with 2 Xeon's.
I think this build would be incredible and last many years to come and not have to upgrade anything for quite some time. I did look into the new X99 Haswell DDR4. DDR4 RAM is too freaking expensive, and I'd rather they work all the bugs and come down in price before diving into something like that. The I7 5960X is beast but it can wait. Lastly no fanboy crap. I dont really care Intel VS AMD they all work when you press the power on.
My current build is:
FX9370
32GB DDR3
2X 290X
Crosshair V Formula Z
1600 Platinum PSU EVGA-Plenty of power to run 2 CPU.
So what do you all think about this? Input on this build or other possible builds/paths to take up consideration?
