Indeed it is :)

But then again we had Xeons with 10 cores and 20 threads 2 years ago ;)

The technology is all there, Intel are just releasing it to the consumer later than to enterprise.

There is also a 12 core 24 thread Xeon in the pipeline. :D

And AMD already have a 16 core Opteron server chip, though i'm not sure what the architecture of those CPU's is like. It might be clusters with 2 processing nodes per cluster a bit like Piledriver. And of course no hyperthreading.

i actualy thought about buyin a xeon but people told me they arent the best when it comes to gaming wich is why i went the 4770k i thought about a 4960x or whatever its called but the x79 platform puts me off

can you overclock that 10 core 20 thread xeon?

4 xeons? holy **** haha i cant even imagin how fast that would chew through a video render

Haha, now just imagine a stack of server blades in a rack, each with 4x 10 core Xeons :p

In addition to my sig rig I personally have a workstation with a pair of Xeon E5405 Quad cores in, it sounds impressive but in reality those CPU's are pretty useless and can be picked up for £10 each :p

The main reason I bought that system was because... I have always wanted a dual socket Xeon PC and... OK I have no idea :D

Sony Vegas has an option for GPU Acceleration, make sure this is turned off before rendering. Its not in rendering options, but hidden somewhere else. It is likely its your card doing the rendering, the time saved is just because you now have a i7 setting up the render rather than an i3.

For smoother rendering, do not read and write to the same drive.

i cant find anything about GPU acceleration anywhere but the render template and the recorded video is on my WD black dedicated recording drive and im rendering to my SSD
 
Hmm if your not getting any improvement going from a 2core hyper threaded i3 to a 4core hyper threaded i7, why on earth would you consider spending a fortune going to a 10 core hyper threaded Xenon?
 
well i figured it out after a few hours of searching through settings in sony vegas i found something where it will basicly use the GPU whenever theres a GPU to be used
so i got rid of that now with MP4 main concept or sony AVC i can render in half real time so 30min video in 15mins and with WMV wich is what i prefer for quality that renders in real time 30min video 30min render :D

Glad you sorted it :) If it helps as well, when I added my second 7950 (which I recommend, because it's beastly), I discovered that my 3570K @ 4.4GHz is pretty badly bottlenecking it. So your 4770K will stand you in good stead if you go xfire.

yeah one of the reasons i went with the i7 (besides editing/rendering) was because im going with a dual card setup so i can make the most of my 144hz monitor... as far as AMD goes im a big fan when it comes to single card setups i would have AMD all day every day but for dual card im going gtx 770 because atleast according to benchmarks and stuff that ive seen nvidia has the edge on drivers and frame timing/micro stuttering
