Amd Dual Core VS. Intel Dual Core Or Xeon
My friend was wondering what processor is best for running protools recording software... He is willing to spend 2-3 hundred dollars on the processor... I was wondering if you guys could please weigh in on the subject? Thanks so much -Jack |

Re: Amd Dual Core VS. Intel Dual Core Or Xeon
AMD X2 family. The fastest processor he is willing to spring for.
Make sure the system has lots of RAM (2 gig prefered) and a fast HD. The processor can only buy you so much performance. When it has to go to main memory or HD for data it gets choked. I recommend the X2 because even if pro tool was not compiled for multi processor use now it will get upgraded and in the mean time a dual core chip will let you do other tasks without slowing down the file processing. |

Re: Amd Dual Core VS. Intel Dual Core Or Xeon
Hey,
Is it possible that some of you guys could say a little something about your choice? It's fine if you don't but it would help greatly if you could state why you made the choice you did... Thanks A lot -Jack |

Re: Amd Dual Core VS. Intel Dual Core Or Xeon
I voted X2, simply beacuse AMD has it down. They have the performance/heat/price crown at the moment. And I am a fanboy

Re: Amd Dual Core VS. Intel Dual Core Or Xeon
Yep me too!
I think AMD is the best, if you look at the cnet results its a no brainer: http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-10442_7-6389077-1.html But still im looking for unbias result for the processor... But i think most of you guys don't truly have a bias to AMD, you just think its better for its performance... -Jack |

Re: Amd Dual Core VS. Intel Dual Core Or Xeon
AMD is solid. I've been using AMD since, um, a very long while ago, back when they were still somewhat undiscovered and Intel Inside was the big thing.
In a little while I'm going to need an upgrade. I'm running an XP 2800+ now. I'll be getting an X2 4800+ in a few months - aft. erwards I know for a fact I won't need to upgrade for a long while. I use Adobe Premier/Photoshop with gigantic RAW/TIFF files, and it plain beats out any equivalent Intel, at least from my experience. |
