So I don't spend much time researching the high end...why should I when I have access to the best minds right here?
Right now I have a X99 rig that I am super happy with that I use for my 3D and video rendering. I'm going to be upgrading the M.2 storage and grabbing at least 32GB of RAM but I am thinking about going higher for DaVinci Resolve.
I'm not anxious to upgrade, but I have a project due for Computex in the next week and I would like to use the same motherboard (EVGA Micro 2) in that build and getting another short notice would be a challenge.
So the real question. I'm wondering if I would get more performance out of a overclocked Skylake CPU or with the 5820k @ 4.2Ghz for multithreaded apps. Does the superior math core on the Skylake end up edging out the haswell-E at 5.2Ghz (I think I could get one stable in my rig at that for every day use).
I dunno...I thought I would get some expert opinions here rather than doing my un-expert thinking for myself.
Peace, and thanks!
