Hi,

Thanks for the recommendation, very appreciate.
Actually im not quite familiar with Xeon processor. Before this just looking for i7 or i5 proc. But after googled a little it seems
Xeon E3-1230V3 is on par with i7 4770k processor is it ? Different is Xeon didnt have GPU only. Is there any reason that Xeon proc is recommended over i7 ? Tq

For the sake of comparison, let's compare i7 4770 (non overclocking variant) with E3-1230 v3. The obvious; it's cheaper, RM959 vs. RM799. The clockspeed is 0.1GHz (base) and 0.1GHz (Turbo) slower only. Of course, you will also lose out on the IGP (integrated graphics processor), but should not be an issue if you have a dedicated graphic card.

Oh, so the price difference is not far, around RM160. And performance is identical between this two.
How about efficiency and heat produce ? Xeon is more efficient to do editing purpose over i7 or almost identical too.. ?

Ok, i have read somewhere else that both CPUs are very similar in performance, but with the Xeon having a lower TDP and much cheaper price. The Xeon also would likely produce a little less heat and use a little less power. So your recommendation is good to go. Just i need to find suitable monitor only..

Tq, all smile.gif
