<br>
Why don't you transcode something on your current PC? How long does it<br>
take? Is that acceptable or not? What is the "passmark" for it? Now<br>
use those amazing fractions to guestimate what the CPU you want will<br>
take to transcode the same file. Is that acceptable?<br>
<br>
I would also look at the required power used - which leads to the fan<br>
needed which leads to the noise created. If the system is alone in the<br>
basement, perhaps noise doesn't matter to you? Mine sit in my home<br>
office, so noise and excess heat is unacceptable to me.<br>
<br>
Every other time you post, it includes running a few VMs. More CPUs<br>
helps with running more VMs.<br>
<br>
Is it worth it?<br>
<br>
<br>
It depends. We cannot say.<br>
