AMD Opteron 32-Core - is the Adobe Suite using 32 Cores?

[Fabian Benninghoven]

2nd call from Adobe: it's important to have more CPU power than CPU's in the system. The support max. recommended a 8-core system, with the highest Ghz available.
4GB Ram per Core -> 24GB.

Hmm...

Very interesting thread !

I will follow the Clevo route with P170EM


Nvidia Geforce GTX675M *2Go
Intel® i7-3920QM 4x2 cores - 2.9GHz à 3.6GHz - 8 Mo cache - 55 Watts (Ivy Bridge)
DDR3 Sodimm 32Go 1333Mhz quadri-channel
ssd for system
2x750 esata raid 0 for media


Plus 3 x usb 3,1x esata


I would have wait for thunderbolt, but i am not sure the Rocket will be indispensable

Any suggestions from our Gurus ?

wow i seen a 64 core model on titanus! it can have 512gbs of ram too! talk about crazy specs

Did anyone try the amd with premiere yet?

[Jeff Kilgroe]

The Xeon E5's smoke these AMD systems in per core and per clock comparisons. The advantage of the AMD is price, in particular they can offer more cores for less money, but the cores aren't as good. And very few applications can scale well beyond 2, maybe 4 CPUs. Premiere does a pretty good job getting to 8 with MPE, but after 8 processors, the diminishing returns really become obvious. Anything more than about 12 threads seems to almost start slowing things down.

The monster AMD systems are good for render farms, massive database servers...

All the good dual Xeon E5 and larger motherboards / workstations will accept 512GB RAM too....

Jeff, you made me take another look at the xeon again. Was suppose to just order a 3930 system but from what I have read here it seams that alot of 3930 systems seams to struggle abit on the 4k but works ok in quad hd. I like to be able to run 4k at half res solid and at the same time output with a black magic card to hd/2k monitor.SLI

What do you think about this system below? It may not scream like some monster builds on reduser but for 4k I think this could be pretty solid. I have not found any with this processor here so I don't know what perfomance I should expect.
The system will be used for premiere and resolve. Fore storage I plan to run a windows 8 server connected with 4gigbit lan cables but thats another story.

Also do you need sli to run on premiere and resolve? If you dont need sli I found a better workstation moderboard.
ASUS Z9PE-D16, 2xSocket-2011
E-ATX,C602-A,16xDDR3,4xPCIe(3.0)x16,3xIntel i350 GbLAN,1x Mgmt LAN, VGA, iKVM

Another confusion is that on resolves recomandation there is a
Intel Xeon E5-2620 6C/12T
2.00 GHz, TLC: 15 MB, Turbo: Yes, 7.2 GT/s, TX/RX300 S7, RX350 S7
It cost almost the same as the
Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-1650
Socket-LGA2011, 6-Core, 3.2Ghz, 12MB, 130W, TRAY/without FAN
Wich one is the better for premiere and resolve?


Hope there some helpful people on this thread. I really like to order this within a week or two.

Cheers!
