Xeon or i7
Providing that it is apples to apples as in same # of core, CPU speed, which chip would perform better for home recording? No sure but is one better for serial and or parallel processing? I will be using Cake walk, not sure of what amp Sim or other plugins outside of the plugg-ins that come with cakewalk that I will be choosing.

Intel Devil’s Canyon Core i7-4790K and Core i5-4690K Processors
Intel is going to launch their new Haswell Refresh processors very soon. Intel Haswell Refresh, as we concluded in our previous reports, consists of 20 new CPUs with just 100 MHz higher clocks than the previous CPU in that price bracket.
Deciding between i7 4770 and 4770K (threading w/TSX vs. brute force OC)
howdy Hi, new guy here. I'm building a new computer from scratch, and currently I am deciding on the CPU.
Need to build a new DAW i7 or Xeon?
I have got to the point where i need to build a new PC as a DAW as my old Athlon machine just won't cut it anymore with all the new software i am running
i.e. Superior Drummer 2.0, EZKeys, Pod Farm plugins etc. Also I want to upgrade to using Pro Tools 10.
The question is for Audio am i better with a xeon or an i7?

Is core i7 important?
Through my research, people say that core i5 is good enough for what I plan to do. I don't have all the money for it yet, but what I plan to buy is a $750 HP laptop with these specs: Intel core i5, 6 gigs of ram and a 750GB 7200 RPM HDD. I also plan to buy a $150 external hard drive.

Best processor Xeon or i7?
I'm prepping to build a new computer for my studio and want to get the best performance I can. I know the Xeon processors are considered server/workstation chips. But I've heard they do a better job number crunching.
Has anyone had any experience with them in an audio DAW or am I better just going with a high-endi7 chip.
Thanks!
