i7 5820k Vs Dual Xeon X5680 in the real world...
I wanted a second machine so I could work while doing unattended things like rendering. It's December 2021 and I don't have much money. Figured a cheap dual Xeon off eBay must still have some use? Benchmark sites don't seem to do dual Xeons so I took a risk and bought one.
It's not terrible. Depends what you want it for. Definitely worth it for a secondary workhorse machine. Bit odd, but many applications perform a lot faster with hyper-threading disabled (12 cores 12 threads faster than 12 cores, 24 threads). Tests include Premiere Pro CC/2018, Maya, Handbrake... real world applications rather than a meaningless benchmark.
Non-technical video so I recorded audio. Tried to level it but it's all over the place. Was recorded in segments over 2 months. Hard to muster any enthusiasm when you spend your day at a garbage job surrounded by morons.
I did want to do more tests with the original dual Xeon W5580's, but lost a lot of the footage and didn't want to swap the CPU's back and forth. The upgrade from W5580's (4 cores) to X5680's (6 cores) was £40 for 2 CPU's. Easily worth the upgrade.
The first 2 premiere sections are very long because I show the processing. Didn't bother for the others. Just proving I really did waste days running all these tests.
The OBS part is rather useless as these platforms don't support 4k and quality is most lost.
