Hello everyone, I'll try to make this short.
Every 3 years I buy a new main rig.
This year it's between a stock AMD FX-9590 running 4.7 and 5.0 turbo and a company OCed to 4.2 i7-5960X .
Now, price is not a concern. Both will be running on about the best I can find or get for them, within reason anyway.
AMD build:
AMD mobo will be an ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z AMD 990 ATX
AMD RAM 32 GB DDR3/2133MHz Corsair Vengeance
1TB Samsung 850 PRO Series
AMD Radeon R9 295X2
Intel build
i7 mobo will be ASUS ROG X99 Rampage V Extreme ATX
i7 RAM 32 GB DDR4/2800MHz Corsair Vengeance
1TB Samsung 850 PRO Series
AMD Radeon R9 295X2
The cooling will be;
XSPC RayStorm CPU Block,Dual D5 Pump & Reservoir,AX360 Radiator with 6 fans in Push/Pull
I left out all the internal storage and other stuff except the main drive that everything will be done on, apps & warez wise. With that said, I haven't played games since the early 90s so I don't care in the slightest how great this or that is for gaming, but I am a big media enthusiast.
It seems most of the bench-marking and performance tests I keep finding for these things are game oriented or professional oriented in fields in which I have no interest or basically software isolated testing, that I don't personally understand their application to what I do.
What I would like to know, is the real life application for what I do between these two builds. Simply, between these two which will be able to better and faster handle encoding on Handbrake, couple or few browsers open with a couple hundred tabs, Administrating a website, having a media player running and something like an XMPP chat running, all at the same time?
If possible, I would like reasonable support for your recommendations or conclusions, so that maybe I can further educate myself, not the typical fanboy reply about [insert manufacturer] is bestestest.
Thnx for any help.
