I was wondering, because this retard
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfscbJldcAI&t=1051s)
spent 10k on his setup, and he's got a dual xeon system, but is that any better than say, a single I7? if it is, are the advantages negligible or?
thanks in advance, famalams

shameless self bump
Max clock speed is only 3.7GHz but the cache is huge. I doubt it is worthwhile at all for /v/.
lol no

for what purpose? i was asking if there was any real purpose for having more than one CPU outside of server use
>>53860734
What's he using it for? Gaming? In which case, no.
If he also uses it as a workstation it makes sense.
You can reserve a couple of cores to play games whilst having the rest work on computations.

>intel xeon
>nvidia 980
he got jewed hard

He's using it for running VMware, and do video rendering as well as gamming.

not sure why he didn't go the extra half mile and get the ti desu

Then I can see the use, although multipurpose PCs are just irritating; it's better to just have another PC for gaming.

what did he mean by this
The objectively best CPU for gaymen (price not considered) is the 4790k.
More than enough multicore performance and the best single thread performance for poorly coded games and emulators.

If 'he' refers to the guy in the video, it's because he paid these "prugal systems" guys to make him a PC
if 'he' refers to the poster, it's because of how the guy pronounces ASUS

Multi purpose is the problem here. Running your gaming software(games & gpu drivers) on a VM. No to smart. Now your game sites on another software layer to get access to the hardware. Which mean you need more hardware power. Pretty stupid setup but to each his own. Can he game and render at the same time? Will one be taking a performance hit if that's done? When more VM are added wtf happens to space and memory? This rig is perfect for a guy on youtube not the real world.

Anything more than a handful of cores is probably wasted in most workstation.
The most common exceptions are massively parallel code compilation and high-end image/video editing, where software is designed to take advantage of moar koors.

He was trying to kill a cat in GTA 5. What the fuck? Sick faggot.

since when did VRAM stacking become a thing?

Does spending $1000 feel the same as spending $10000? If yes, a dual-cpu setup may be right for you
