For video editing, 45nm is a no brainer because of SSE4

If you click on the links I provide, it tells you the exact model

Thanks

Also remember the San Clemente DDR2 based solutions
georgeou | 01/03/08
|
 
Those San Clemente motherboards can be had in the low $300s
georgeou | 01/03/08
|
  
This definitely is one route to go
Cornhead | 01/03/08
|
   
Great point if you're going to use that powerful a graphics card
georgeou | 01/04/08

Interesting strategy but...

San Clemente was launched at same time as Seaburg

What's wrong with appealing to geeks?

What about the AMD64 Phenom?

Hmmm .. . .
CobraA1 | 01/03/08

These are SERVER CPUs
georgeou | 01/03/08
|
  
Q6600 a SERVER CPU?!?
Robert Crocker | 01/03/08
|
   
It's identical to the Xeon version pushed for single-socket motherboards
georgeou | 01/04/08
|
    
So what's different about the phenom?
Robert Crocker | 01/04/08
|
     
Phenom has the TLB bug and you also need a suitable server motherboard
georgeou | 01/04/08
|
So what CPU should the high-end workstation buyer choose?
brossyg@... | 01/03/08
|

funny... Xeon is based on the same Core architecture...
shryko | 01/03/08

This is just crazy.

Memory Intensive Workload?
christian.d.black@... | 01/04/08

It's very specific to the scientific, research, and oil exploration
georgeou | 01/04/08
|
 
Note that not all of the examples I cited are necessarily BW intensive
georgeou | 01/04/08

Ironically
Robert Crocker | 01/04/08

Or you can look at it objectively.

It's not just the CPU that makes a great Server
