I built a home pc last week and considered the i7 chipset, but from reading lots about them the performance leap doesnt justify the cost leap.. I opted for a AMD Phenom x4 Quad 2.5 instead, paired with 8GB ram it runs pro-e like a dream
So what makes for quick regen times in Pro/E? Do you pretty much want
to find the highest clock rate C2D (since they are higher than i7 clock
rates). Or maybe the highest clock rate Opteron? The quad-cores
generally have lower clock rates. Does Pro/E benefit much from
additional cores at all?
Right now my model takes 5 minutes to regenerate. That means just
trying one little dimension change in some feature or whatever requires
then waiting 5 minutes for regen. It's driving me completely insane to the
point where I'm am going to buy a new workstation this week. However, I
don't know what features to spend money on and what not to spend
money on because I do not know what cpu characteristics make for faster
regen times.
