I am getting close to taking the plunge and replacing my 2 year old DAW CPU (Two 2.66GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5430 {for a total of 8 cores}) for the new insanely powerful Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition 3.33GHz Six-Core Processor. Do you think I would notice a significant upgrade? I need moor CPU power and do not want to use 2 PC’s.

Thanks!

That i7-980X is an old CPU as well. To me it makes no sense buying one. It’s discontinued even. Get a current generation CPU from Intel or AMD.
