Review on Intel E5 2680 Ten Core Processor BX80635E52680V2 by Jeff Hill

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent processor for rendering Maya and 3Dsmax

I study digital media and use this processor for heavy 3D modeling and animation rendering. This processor works well with a complex scene, it's much faster than the one I used. I haven't tried rendering advanced footage with Maya yet, but it takes less than 30 seconds to render a small scene with 540,000 faces with VRay in 3dsmax. It's also good for particle effects in AE. All I can tell you is that it's fast, but you'll have to try it yourself to know exactly how fast it is, since CPU performance is also affected by your computer's other hardware, and different designs reflect different performance. In short, I will buy another one as a secondary processor as the performance meets my needs and the price is affordable compared to 2690 v2 and 2697 v2
