a few weeks of Parsons Intel's Broadway Lee processes landed and sadly it hasn't all just been a mistake 1750 US dollars is the correct price for the 69 50 X so that's disappointing to say the least thankfully there are alternatives with those seeking core heavy machines and there's they on e5 2670 that I looked at more than three months ago now is still one of the best options given processes can be had second hand for as little as 60 us or 80 Australian dollars each and there's still a massive oversupply I recently landed a pair for 150 Ozzy which included shipping additionally I spent five hundred seventy dollars plus shipping on a brand-new dual socket Super Micro ME dx9 dr3 motherboard from newegg.com and a further two hundred dollars on 32 gigabytes of ddr3 1866 memory all up the guts of this workstation builders totalled nine hundred twenty dollars so not bad given the 59 60 X cost $1500 alone and the new 69 50 X is staggering 2550 for my American viewers the bulk of the dual xeon e5 2670 system came to a total of six hundred and sixty dollars so the question that remains now is how well do the dual xeon e5 2670 s tackle professional level video editing and premiere pro CC let's find out these results are based on a Premiere Pro CC workload provided by Intel based on professional level video editing using 4k 30fps h.264 mp4 footage recorded a bit rate of approximately 80 megabits per second the input file sizes total 1.9 gigabytes in total 2 minutes and 21 seconds the audio stream is 1536 kilobits per second 48 kilohertz 16-bit stereo and wav format the performance test measures the time to export the entire clip to a 4k h.264 mp4 format and the output is a high quality 4k video file the benchmark is GPU accelerated using the new geforce gtx 1080 the results while not mind-blowing are impressive for roughly the asking price of the car 750 960 X it's possible to be able to complete joule xeon e5 2670 workstation receive a similar level of performance in total we were only seeing around 60 to 70 percent CPU utilization on the dual Xeon system so there's more performance to be had in applications that can take advantage of all 16 cores with the hyper-threading support clearly the 69 50 X is a better option in terms of performance when compared to the dual Zeon's its hands down faster more fuel efficient and of course can be overclocked for even greater results still as I've made abundantly clear by now the price is a real stinker and as such the 69 50 X is far from a cost-effective means of arming a workstation with more than eight cause this is where the dirt-cheap xeon e5 2670 processors come into play still in order to really take advantage with the extra processing power you'll want to be working with very high quality source files professional-grade stuff really the 6950 x becomes an even harder sell when you factor in the full system cost of the dual xeon build everything's shown in this video is in the xeon build total just shy fourteen hundred US dollars or two thousand Australian dollars that includes two xeon e5 2670 processes the Super Micro dual soccer motherboard to knock to AU 12 DXi for coolers 32 gigabytes of ddr3 memory Silverstone ST ADF power supply and the massive landlady a thousand workstations chassis so you could build this system or pull out another four hundred dollars out of your wallet to buy the kora 769 50x and of course that buys you just the processor anyway thanks for tuning in to your another Hardware unbox video let me know what you guys think in the comments I'm your host Matt as always and I'll see you guys next time youtubers
