Monster system check please

Im looking at a pair of 5690x xeons and SR-2 motherboard.
the cost is high but i save on the cost of ram as it's currently £900 for my x79 build.

looking for performance comparrison to my old i7 980x if it would be double this could be perfect for me?

think its a big spanner now thrown into the x79 works, dam too much knowledge hurts!
 
am i right thinking the 5690x is a i7990x in a different form with a second QPI?

getting technical now, but its performance comparrisions i need?

would this dual xenon set up have twice the performance of a i7980x cpu as it would half my render times?
 
the upgrade path would be to future 8 core cpus.
think your right, do you know what the performance increase would be over my 980x

heard somewhere it was only about 17%
mind ive read a huge amount on these things
 
Ok I have just had a reply on the SR-2 forum and even they say not to buy so i guess they would be the ones to know. how ever they said the sandy bridge e xeons would be out q1 2012 with dual 8 core's.

no way i can wait but wow that will be some beast.

so i just need to sort the ram situation. ive had a good scan through the web and 29th is earilest i can find anybody getting stock. Have been talking to OC and they say they cant get?
what are my other options go for a 32gb fast ram option 2400ghz lol

cheers
 
Theres nothing that can be said, no linking to competitors or hinting at competitor prices.

2133Mhz not sufficient?
 
I have been talking to the SR-2 guys all day and its still not clear what the best solution is for this build. cost is about the same for the single x79 3690 build to a dual x5690 xeon buld.

logic says the dual xeon is faster and prfessional workstations designed for adobe and sony use them.

completely stuck now.
 
How gutted would you be if in a few months time that SR-3 came out with XEON CPU's and it blows everything out the water?

Click to expand...

there is a third option.

I only have 2 more weddings to film this year and then nothing until about april.

could you spec me a low price 2500k based system.
to use one of my 580gtx cards would need 12gb ram

I could make do for a few months i guess depending on what budget we could get this system in for?
 
the system will ultimately be for my father to surf and compile the family tree so doesnt have to be top end.

just need psu mobo cpu and ram.
if it wasnt for the editing id say intergrated graphics would have been an option.

any ideas

thank you
