Thanks for the answers!
So when it comes to CPUs what do you think is better - more cores or
faster cores. I was looking up the different options and it looks like
one could build a 24 core machine using a dual-socket AMD configuration
(two 12 core AMDs, each at 2.6 GHz) or, alternatively a build that
centers around a dual socket configuration with two Intel i7 six cores
(so 12 cores total), each at 3.46 GHz.
More cores will help with rendering, but seeing as general interactivity
in Nuke's interface is still largely single-threaded, faster cores will
help here (for interacting with control points, curves, importing images
and geometry).
The Core i7s can also overclock themselves when they've got free thermal
headroom, and the faster the CPU is itself, the faster it can overclock
for single-threaded workloads which should help as well.
