Hello Folks - I am stuck in a limbo land because of the applications I use require a mix of both high core count (video encoding) and high clock speed (image editing applications & gaming & Trading) and I can't find a CPU thats good for my use
I have a XEON 2696 V3 CPU which flies when doing video encoding such as converting 4K videos from my DSLR to a different format, but struggles at image editing applications (DxO Mark, Photoshop etc) and my much older i7 3970x seems to perform better in that case.
I am thinking switching to the X299 platform but that platform is riddled with issues that rivals swiss cheese. I am thinking of single LGA 3647 socket workstation as the new XEONS seem to have decent turbo speed? I can't seem to find the info on the core load for the turbo speed either...
