it is "idiling" at 40%-50%, same as the i7. it is frustrating. i give nuke 16 cores instead of 6, 64gb ram instead of 32, workstation grade supermicro mb, 3 times faster raid, same gpu, and it is slower... even after effects was (slightly) faster on the xeon... and it is not clock speed, the i7 is 3.5 ghz, and the xeon is 3.2, so it doesnt explain the 2-3 times slower displacement test, theres a serious bottleneck somewhere. i have 1 main workstation, and a second one for 3d render, another i7. id get a dual xeon as a "render node" only but its too expensive for me, one must maximize the investment. thnx
