Exact i5-4690 video rendering times

[Gustas]

Hello, tomshardware community!

I'm building my first desktop. I will use it for gaming, of course and for some video editing. I want to edit and render about 1 video per 1-3 days. I know that i7 will render videos significantly faster because of hyperthreading and more things. But it's the question about the cost.

I want to know the exact Intel Core i5-4690 video rendering times. Maybe it is rendering videos quite fast and I don't have to spend much more money for i7 processor to make 1 video per 1-3 days.

There is alot to factor in this question.. obviously it will depend wholly on how big the project is, how much has been added to it (audio etc).

This benchmark is via Handbrake which is a H.264 video encoder- http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2013/06/12/intel-core-i5-4670k-haswell-cpu-review/3

Not very accurate based on what you will be doing but the i5 is a good midpoint.

i think that the i5-4690 is one of the best CPUs for gaming, for video editing i don't know sorry

Personally, I would recommend a Xeon e3 v3. They are cheaper than an i7, and offer more reliability for 100mhz less speed.

Speed in rendering depends on many factors:
1. Rendering software. (is the software capable of using Multi Threads, etc.)
2. Complexity of the rendering item. (Resolution, framerate, length, etc.)
3. Specs of the entire components RAM, HDD/SSD, etc. etc.

Nobody can provide you the exact number.
You just have to try it or used benchmark programs.

are xenon good for gaming too?

Xenon? I do not think you can game using Xenon.
It is noble gas compound.

But you can play games using Xeon processor E3-1231V3.....hehehehehe....
I have a rig using E3-1231V3+GTX970 and have no problems at all.

Yes very capable, try aim for something like this with a decent clock speed - http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646e31231v3

They are a slightly slower locked i7 processor.

I laughed too hard at this, firstly got really confused as to why you said you can't game on it 😀 lol

 

[guanyu210379]

Hehehehe...

Xeon 1231V3 is among the best price/performance proc available today, including for gaming.
It is basically an i7 4790 (non-K), non-OC-able, minus the iGPU and 100MHz slower.
The price is the most attractive part, since it is about as expensive/cheap as i5 4690k.

ahhaahaha sorry loool i have auto correction

Thanks for all your answers! Appreciate that all I haven't mentioned about the video quality and other things. I want to edit 1680 * 1050 resolution 60 FPS videos with voice and game music. They will be 15 - 20 minutes log. I'm planning to use Adobe After Effects and Sony vegas pro 12 or 13.

 

[guanyu210379]

If you do the editing quite often, I would really suggest E3-1231V3.
The HT will help speeding things up, if your software can use it properly.
It is definitely the better buy compared to i5 4690 (no-K)
