Hi,
I have a T620 that I use for video editing. It has Dual E5-2620 CPU's, 64Gb RAM, 4 x 7200 HDD in RAID 5 and a GTX 780 Ti. I thought it would be "enough" for working with 4k GoPro files, and it somewhat is, but rendering certain files takes forever (really slow FPS).
Anyhow, I was thinking of upgrading the system with new CPU's, so I started looking here to get an idea what to get:
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html
I have a budget and I am looking for the best bang for the buck. While doing so, I noticed that it said under CPUmark/$Price: NA. That made me realize that the CPU is not available anymore. However, you can get it used on eBay for little money.
Now to my actual question:
Does it make sense to replace my E5-2620 cpu's, which have a benchmark of 8012, with the way older E5-2696 v2, which has a benchmark of 16681???
Thanks,
G
EDIT: I meant the E5-2670 @ 2.60GHz and not the E5-2696 v2!
