i7-3930k.

 

[4slime]

The Intel Core i7-3770K is the fastest and most power efficient core. It is overclockable and has eight cores (4 virtual, 4 physical)

Specs:
3.5GHz (unlocked)
4 Virtual Cores
4 Physical Cores
77 watts
$319.99

If you want AMD:
AMD FX-4170

Specs:
4.2GHz
Quad Core
125 Watts
$134.97

 

[Someone Somewhere]

WHAT? FX-4170. You have to be kidding me.

i7-3930K or, if you can get you work to foot the bill, an 8-core Xeon E5 (or dual socket board with two of).

This may be thoroughly overkill for what you do though. Context is nice.

And yes, I'd say most people know what the year is.

 

[Tradesman1]

I'd say the 3930K, unlocked (same as 4770K), 6 Core vs 4 for 4770K, 12Mb L3 vs 8MB for 4770K, Quad Channel MC vs dual channel for 4770K, Hyper threading (better with the 2 additional cores than the 4770K), on a better platform X79 than the 4770K, supports more DRAM

 

[Someone Somewhere]

Yeah. 3930K, unless you can get your work to pay for a dual-Xeon workstation. But probably not, unless you need it for CFD or something.

What are you designing and what software (OS, and suite, etc.) will you be using?
- No one has enough information to answer your question yet.

aily,

The most powerful CPU's today are Xeon E7-4XXX and E7-8XXX that can be used in 4 and 8 -CPU configurations. Xeon E7's are very expensive > $3,500 to $6,000. The most power computers are made using multiple CPU's and each processor adds more PCIe lanes and memory controllers / memory bandwidth. There are 8X E7-CPU boards that support 4,096GB or RAM.

The future will proabably see much more use of GPU coprocessors to supplement the CPU as well. NIVIDIA makes it's Tesla GPU coprocessors like the C2075 and K20 that are in effect graphic card CUDA cores and Intel makes the Xeon PHI. These can be added in parallel to a 2X Xeon system to make a "PS" , a Personal Supercomputer. These coprocessors are also expensive > a Tesla K20 is $3,600 and a Xeon Phi is about $5,300.

So, those are the most power, but what is the "best" CPU depends, as Tabris DarkPeace mentions, on the use and even the individual applications. If you are doing rendering, that task can use as many CPU cores / threads as available, so the best CPU will be a dual 8-core Xeon, whereas Autodesk Inventor, AutoCad, Solidworks and Sketchup will be using only one core for the principal processes so clock speed and memory bandwidth are more important.

One aspect that I feel is important is the use of ECC, error correcting RAM. This is important in design as it ensures the precise positional calculation of relative objects such a polygons and particles and so the shadows, visual effects such as lighting, and color gradients are precise and free of artifacts. You have to use a Xeon or AMD Opteron and proper motherboard to use ECC RAM.

Because of the way the computer divides tasks, the graphics card is as important as the CPU. If you are doing 2D graphic design, the graphics card should have a 2D focus, if you are doing 3D modeling or animation a high clock speeds, memory bandwidth and memory, if you are editing and processing an feature films, a GPU with a lot of memory. Again, the best CPU will only be the best if the graphics card is also the best for the uses. And, I have been convinced over the past twenty years of 2D and 3D CAD (architecture, industrial design, graphic design) that NVIDIA Quadro cards are best. Gaming cards like GeForce and HD Radeon are oriented for the highest frame rates, whereas the workstations cards, Quadro and AMD Firepro are made for image quality- they finish every frame fully and in detail. These cards also have error-correcting RAM for accurate shadoes, color gradients and with the right software, these can produce 128X anti-aliasing instead of 16X, so curved and angle forms are extremely smooth.

This is a very useful chart to compare the computing power of CPU's >

So, the answer your question of best CPU for a designer, I would say that if you're primarily doing 2D graphic design, with effects processing, a fast 4-core Xeon >

Intel Xeon E3-1275 V2 Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Server Processor BX80637E31275V2 > $355 This is ranked > 24 > CPU score of >9722

Intel Xeon Processor E5-1620 > 3.6 / 3.8 GHz 10M Cache > $300 Rank > 36 > Score > 9193

If you're doing 3D modeling, some simulation, animation, video editing, and some rendering, a good 6-core Xeon >

Intel Xeon Processor E5-1650 > LGA 2011> 3.2 / 3.8 GHz, 12M Cache > $630 Rank >12 Score > 11462

Intel Xeon Processor E5-1660 > 3.3 / 3.9 GHz, 15M Cache > $1,086 Rank > 8 Score > 12488

> and, if you're doing elaborate, 3D modeling, animation, simulation, effects, and heavy rendering, a single or double 8-core Xeon >

Intel Xeon Processor E5-2687W > 8-core 20M Cache, 3.1 / 3.8 GHz > $1,934 each Rank > 2 > Score > 14428

(2) Intel Xeon Processor E5-2687W >16 cores / 32 threads> 20M Cache, 3.1 / 3.8 GHz > $1,934 each Rank > 2 > Score > 21251

[The E5-2687W is 150W and must be used with a Board that supports 150W]

Or > to have 12 cores /24 threads >

(2) Intel Xeon Processor X5680 > 2X 6-core =12 cores / 24 threads, 2X 2M Cache, 3.33 / 3.6 GHz> Rank > 14 > Score > 14151 > The X5680 is obsolete and though there are some new, most will be purchased used for about $800-1000 each, but is very good value as provides a high clock speed and 6 or 12 cores / 12 or 24 threads. In the US, you can find Dell Precision T7500 with a single X5680 for $1,400-1,700 and add a second X5680 (requires a CPU / Memory /Fan riser, about $250) for a total of about $1,000 more. A dual Xeon T7500 can use 192GB of RAM!

Or > to have 2 X 4 cores / 16 threads >

(2) Intel Xeon E5-2643 3.3GHz 1MB L2 Cache 10MB L3 Cache LGA 2011 130W Quad-Core Server Processor > $2,220 ($1,110 each) Rank > 16 > Score > 13655

Graphics cards >

With Xeon quad core > for 2D graphic design > Quadro K600, for 3D CAD Quadro K2000

With Xeon 6-core > Quadro K4000, Quadro K5000 for video editing Quadro 6000

Again, "best" is going to be determined by the applications and priorities of use.
