About the Obtanium reference system.

I am wondering why the w5-2565X CPU is recommended instead of the w7-2575X

The latter has 4 Cores plus 22 vs 18, which would allow more NDI IP flows. Apart from incorporating more cache memory. It is true that the base frequency is 3 GHz compared to the 3.2 GHz of the w5-2565X.

But the previous top CPU reference system was an i9-10980 XE with a base frequency of 3.0 GHz and it was the recommended one.

Summing up. Isn't a w7-2575X better than a w5-2565X if there are no budget problems?

Hi,

w7-2575X is a bit more powerful than w5-2565X.
vmix gives a minimum reference system.
nothing prevents you from taking more powerful components.

nothing stops you from opting for the w9-3495x if you have the budget

Excuse me for telling you that precisely that processor that you indicate would not be suitable for vMix at all. The reason is the very low base frequency. Since this CPU has so many Cores, its clock must be quite low. Very powerful but with low operating revolutions like the Diesel engine of a freight ship.

w5-2565X - 3.2GHz
w7-2575X - 3.0GHz
I9-10980XE - 3.0GhZ
w9-3495X - 1.9GHz

Vmix needs high base frequency, from what I understand.

This is precisely the debate I want to open here. the importance of clock frequency compared to other characteristics of CPUs


Similar to the graphics card debate. The importance of memory bandwidth or the number of CUDA cores compared to other characteristics of GPUs for vMix

i too have been curious about these two processors.It would be great if someone can confirm if the .2Ghz drop in w7-2575x processor speed will impact performance negatively. I very much like the w7-2575x for the extra cores as I lean more towards an NDI workflow.
