What's Your Computer Build?

May I ask what one does with 24 cores? .

I've run some extensive calculations and have come to the conclusion that either your install of LR will process your image long before you even take it, or you'll melt your shorts if you ever place this thing in your lap. Only thing is I just can't conclude which

But yes, I remember how a one-gig HD seemed analogous to some vast intergalactic expanse in my mind's eye about three decades ago. Now it seems like a speck of dust on a postage stamp. Core count is someday going to be like transistor count was on CPUs

the question is how long will it take for 24 core cpus to belong to one of the relics of the past like 80286 or 8008 cpus
if you look at this chart: https://www.cpubenchma​rk.net/high_end_cpus.h​tml
you will see that many of the top performing cpus were released more than 2 years ago

Assemble genomes and transcriptomes, for one. I do this on my 12 core Mac Pro.

Of course people asked me what I did with 4 cores back when the only way to get that was a similar Dual socket Supermicro etc.. mine was the H8DCE with a pair of Dual Core Opterons back when Opterons were miles faster than the silly little P4's and Xenon of the era intel was pushing.

x265 encoding

Ah, Video takes so much horsepower!

Is your desk always that clean?

Except that tests by Puget Systems indicate that no video application makes use of more than 11 cores. Tests indicate that efficiency hits a hard slope of diminishing returns at four cores, hits a plateau at six cores, and decreases with more than 11 cores.

video editing maybe.. video encoding will use as many cores as you got.

Most of the time, but my 3 y/o grandson likes to put his toys on it...

3D graphics rendering is another area where more cores helps, the HP Z840 44 core machines are about 4 times as fast as my old 12 core computer in Cinebench R15 cpu benchmark, the benchmark is based on Cinema 4D which is a really nice 3d graphics program.

I built my recent I7 6700K machine for programs where single core performance is more important, in some software my 7 year 12 core machine wipes the floor with it.

Not according to Puget Systems' tests with up to 24 cores.

Handbrake uses all 12 cores + 12 virtual cores on my Mac Pro.

as a owner of 24 core system, that BS.

I'm probably reading this wrong, but it does appear to me that continually increasing numbers of cores does not result in continually increasing the speed of Premiere Pro operation.
