I searched! I really did, but did not find my answer. Still, I expect this has been asked a thousand times.
I work in special effects. I desperately need an upgrade as my PC is 5+ years old. The only time that I really notice my PC's shortcomings are when I'm working with fluid dynamics and explosion effects.
I have come to believe the bottleneck here is floating point process. I don't have too limited a budget, so I'd like to know if a high-level Xeon would be better for someone like myself, or if an i7 is just as comparable for this type of work.
Thank you in advance for any advice!
