Just did some comparative Panoramic 360 renders on a reworked HP server.
My base system is a Toshiba notebook with an i7-4710HQ at 2.5GHz. This did a Panoramic 360 at standard res in 1 minute 13 seconds. This is a 4 core processor.
The HP server is running dual Xeon E5520s at 2.27GHz (8 cores) and took 3 minutes 10 seconds!!! Admittedly the E5520s are nearly 10 years old but that is still a heck of a difference.
So later Intel processors are a LOT better at doing this kind of work.
Now if only I could afford a dual i9-7980XE system – 36 cores at 4.2GHz!!
