Hyperthreading or No Hyperthreading

[Ben D]

Really all I need to know is, does it make a difference when using programs like Autodesk Alias or when rendering with Autodesk Showcase, basically I need to know whether to buy an i5 or an i7 processor.

Thanks

Any sort of content creation benefits greatly from Hyperthreading and the extra cache that an I7 has.

Lol damn, I was hoping for a no so I could spend less money but I want everything to work efficiently so I'll bite the bullet...this time thanks for the swift assistance.

No problem. Sorry...

Get a Intel Xeon, 4 cores and hyperthreading but no integrated graphics, cheaper than i7.

6R1M01R3 is perfectly correct.

Altho you can not overclock on it, nor does it have integrated graphics.

Model is : Xeon E3-1240-v3
