Even a Sandy Bridge E3 Xeon would be very nice. If it's not then look into selling it (or repurposing) and upgrading to something a bit more recent. If it's fast enough for you, good for you. Go ahead and use it with these applications since you have the system! See how the system performs. Of course that CPU would limit you to only 32GB of DDR3 but whether that's a problem, you have to decide. Looking at the X5650 and comparing it's single threaded performance to something newer:Īn entry level Ivy Bridge Xeon, the E3-1230v2 would offer about 50-60% more performance and if fully utilized would still offer maybe 10-15% more multi threaded performance than that X5650 would. Where as in AutoCAD 2014 the Z87 on avg was 11% better while min/max advantage was -6%/27%. In Maya 2014, the Z87 system, on average scored 18% higher with min/max advantage being 13%/24%. That's Haswell quad core vs Ivy Bridge hex core if you're not familiar with these.įunnily enough the hex core has a smidgen higher base clock and turbo speeds out of the box but Haswell is, clock for clock, about 10-11% faster than Ivy Bridge.Īnd it shows from the benchmarks Puget Systems did. It can handle them but you'd probably have a better experience with something a little bit more recent and faster clockspeeds.
