Processor for Industrial Vision System

[in5n80]

Hello,

I am building a PC based multi-camera Industrial Vision system and I need help in choosing the right processor. I have searched already for Industrial PCs, but they use only lower TDP processors. This is the first time I am building this kind of system hence I am seeking help here.

(The PC will be regularly used for 16 hrs/day everyday).

Let me give you an overview of the vision system:
The system consists of 3 number of 2MegaPixel cameras, 3 I/O Boards connected through PciE.
The software part is written in C++ and OpenCV 3.1.
The software runs as 5 threads, 1 for each camera plus 2 threads to handle interrupts.
The code will run on Windows 8.1 OS
The processor must have minimum 3.5GHz clock speed.

At present I am getting 7to 12 FPS using Intel-i3 2100 @ 3.1GHz.
My application does not use GPU optimized algorithms,so I do not have a Graphic card.

I am confused between below processors.
1. i5-7600k - 4C/4T
2. i7-7700k - 4C/8T
3. i7-6800k - 6C/12T

My application will be constantly using 5 threads in parallel.

So should I go for processor with more than 5 threads?
Should I go with processors with Hyperthreading?
Is it OK to use processors with 140W or 90W TDP in industrial environment.

Please suggest me in choosing the right CPU.

Thank you.

Option 2.

But since you need to upgrade the motherboard anyways, the ryzen 1800x is a better option to be honest.

For what your looking to do, i think the Ryzen 1600x is perfect for you. Its a 6 core 12 thread processor and can overclock easily to 3.9/4Ghz. You should also pick up fast DDR4 3000Mhz memory for it for best performance.
