So I have the need of a second pc for rendering video. I need

If it takes advantage of multiple cores, then yes. There is a delay in transferring data from one physical CPU to the other but this isn't usually significant. Programmers have to worry about it, you probably don't, and can treat two eight-core CPUs as one sixteen-core CPU.

The RAM is all put together. Generally each CPU needs to have some in its DIMM slots though. Again, it takes longer to get data from CPU A's RAM into CPU B's cores - this is called NUMA. But again, it's something that you generally only have to worry about if youre the programmer writing the application, not the guy using it.

The main chance of a bottleneck isn't a bottleneck at all, it's that your video-rendering program has a ceiling on the number of cores it can usefully employ. Scaling is never perfect, and you always run into diminishing returns some time. I don't know where that is for your video-renderer, look it up.

Install Ryzen

>>59250461
Neat, thanks!

Read up that I'd need win10 pro for multiple cpus too now.

Time to put together a build and see what I'll end up at.

>>59250406
Two of them!

>>59250491
Might actually be worth it.

>>59250586
Win 10 pro isnt pro at all, get enterprise or education

What codec do you plan on using? You might not need dual CPUs. A single 1800X would be fine with even H265.

>>59250636
Or just install gentoo

Get a couple of these.

>>59250388
just buy a used HP 820 is less than$1k.

The selection I'm seeing are heavily biased towards intel, any reason for it?

>>59250638
Mainly h.264. But I guess I'd venture into 265.

>>59250636
Whichever lets me use 2 cpus. Pro was listed to supporting it.

>>59250702
You americans have it so good with special deals.

>>59250491
>>59250586
Yeah, too bad there are no 2-CPU boards and there will never be one.

>>59250388
please don't come back two moths from now whining about why your electric bill is 700

You could be getting paid anon!

>>59250388
If you plan on doing a server-tier build that can use all the cores it can get, wait for Naples if at all possible. Plans are to be 32/64 and dual-mobo capable

>rendering video
You don't need a good CPU, just get an ok CPU and a good graphic card, most goes with cuda/openCL nowadays.
My poorfag workstation has a fx6350 and a gtx 650, the CPU can't compete with the GPU and under rendering with cuda enabled the CPU stays at 40/70% usage, so my advice is to go for a good GPU

>>59250388
>Can they work together and enable faster render times in AE for example?
Yes, SMP enabled operating systems allow this.
>Same goes for the ram, is it all put together or are they allotted for each cpu?
Each processor can access the other processor's RAM, but there's a penalty. That's why it's important to configure the memory properly. For maximum performance you'll want all 4 channels for each processor to be occupied.

I recommend you get a workstation for working on video, doing this sort of thing over the network usually isn't feasible for someone limited to GbE. C602 era workstations are getting cheap.

>>59250636
Where the fuck can i buy enterprise cheap?

>>59251942
If you want something cheap, you probably should reconsider dual CPU Xeon

>>59252099
Im not OP. I just want Enterprise
