  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Some Reasons Why 8core Isn't Going To Make You Workflow Faster!

When you'll be using AfterEffects for some 4K or 2K you'll easly fill the 16GB RAM space.
At this point the aplicatin starts writing on the HDD and ...all this power are there for noting.

No that is not true. Your app is either limited by bandwidth or it is CPU limited. 8 cores and proper threading will make a visible impact in CPU dependent application and less so with apps that have to shuttle small bits of data in and out of RAM.

AMD Opterons kicked the bejeebus out of Intel Xeons in Database apps because that style of app is sensitive to memory bandwidth but even more so to memory latency.

If you have the money and need for the fastest computer you can buy there's no issue with buying an 8-core computer.

This is why I like AMD chips.. Too bad their taking so long.

I've been an AMD fan since they walked all over Intel in FPU performance starting with the Athlon CPU. Unfortunately, with Intel's Core2 design, AMD is playing catch-up and I find it hard to recommend an AMD system these days. Although the Opteron still makes for a good render node CPU in some situations. I'm hoping that AMD will come out with something really good soon because their current roadmap isn't anything to get excited over.

Please don't conclude such things by simply looking at some specs & theory.

Once the software is available RED and other will do testing and you'll see what the performance difference is.

I wasn't concluding anything Rob, as my original post suggested. I put a question mark on the end of it, which was basically there to suggest I simply don't know whether what I was saying is correct or not. I'm not an expert on these things and as such want to learn about the impact of multiple cores for applications used with red footage.

Please don't conclude such things by simply looking at my reply.
 
I must've missed that question mark then. Internet forums can be funny things :)

Sorry about that!
