Reaching out to the more technically inclined folks around here, seems to me this would be an easy question to answer to someone in the know.
Building a new workstation: would it be more beneficial to Media Composer to have 10 cores with lower frequency or 8 cores with higher frequency? For example, Avid's supported CPU choices for high end workstaations are:
Dual 8 core Zeon E5-2667v3 @ 3.2GHz ... or ...
Dual 10 core Zeon E5-2660v3 @ 2.6GHz
Also, let me re-ask the same question, except this time the subject is After Effects: better to have more cores or higher speed?
Very thankful in advance for your technical insight!
