Hardware question for Unreal Engine 4/5, Blender + toys?

Question

Iron

In general, I want to assemble a computer for both graphics and toys, the question is the following: a server xeon is suitable for UE4 / 5 Blender'a, I found the X99 + e5 2650 kit on alik (it comes out cheaper than the i5 10400, but the performance seems to be the same), also RAM for the server processor how will they work? graph I think bu 1060 6gb take

Answer 1

The E5-2650 is a stone as old as mammoth shit with 8 cores (16 threads) at 2-2.8GHz and Sandy Bridge architecture. For comparison: in those days, the top desktop processor was the Core i7 2700, with 4 cores (8 threads) at a frequency of 3.5-3.9 GHz.
The specifics of games is that they rarely manage to utilize more than 8 threads well. And even if they can load this Zion in 16 threads, it will lower the frequency to 2 GHz, and its performance per cycle is not so good (after all, the microarchitecture is quite old). Therefore, I think that this percent is not suitable for games. Its purpose is to keep many "light" threads. Virtual machines, dockers, etc. typical server load.
