    Intel 2011 - 3930k - Great choice for premiere ?

    David Zeno Community Member

      Hi guys,

       

      I'm planning on upgrading my system, and am looking at the Intel 2011 chips, specifically the 3930K.

       

      Does anyone have any experience with this cpu chip ? and do you recommend it ?  Also, I'm not even sure if Adobe Premiere, AE, etc,

      utilize 6 cores at the moment, this could play into my decision also.

       

      I won't be upgrading my sytem for some time, after upgrading to this chip, etc.  I plan on putting 32 gb of memory onto the

      new motherboard too which should help greatly over my current 8 gb of ram on my current system.

       

      video card will be the Nvidia 680.


      Is this a good, intelligent choice for Premiere ? or am I wasting my money, and a less expensive chip would be better suited ?

      something that uses the Z77 motherboard.

       

      I have conflicting info from vendors I talked with yesterday, at a few stores I was visiting, and thought I should just ask here,

      where people actually use the program :-)

       

      Thanks for any help, and suggestions,

       

      Dave.
