Higher end video editing of 4K and greater video puts a premium on the CPU performance and to a lesser extent, the GPU performance. For normal folk doing 4K or less editing a 6-core 5820K or 8-core 5960X are the way yo go but just how well does an increase in core count translate into better actual video editing performance for both scrubbing around the timeline and rendering?
What value would there be in going to a 16 or 18 core Xeon assuming money were no object? On paper the generally lower clock speed would reduce the linear scaling, but it's also not clear to me if beyond a certain core count the benefit zero's out.
If, OTH, the scaling continues with the 16 and 18 core CPU's what additional value would one get by going with a dual socket motherboard using, say, two 16 or 18 core Xeon's? No, I have zero desire to pursue this myself and am asking purely for the sake of knowing..
