Does FCS 2 utilize all 8 cores

Hello, I am jumping between two Mac Pros. a 2.66 4-core or a 2.66 8-core. I've been researching quite a bit and it seems that those two configurations seem to be the best options.
I have FCS 2 and plan on getting CS5. I don't plan on upgrading to FCS 3 so that's why I was looking at the 4-core. I've read that FCS 2 doesn't really utilize all cores. With CS5 I'll mainly be using PS, AE, Illus, Flash, and InD. I'll use all the final cut apps. I am not a professional and still have much to learn with these apps; in fact I'll probably be doing more learning than working. But I would like to future proof myself because if I opt for the 8-core I want it to last for quite awhile. And I am starting to get into graphic design a little more than video.
Would appreciate your advice.

What can you afford? What does it cost you while you wait?
An eight core will be faster in pure rendering (particularly if using virtual clusters) than a 4 core. On the other hand, if it's not making you any money, who cares how long you wait?
Good luck,

  • Does Adobe Premiere CC utilize all 24 cores of a Xeon CPU while exporting in 4K?

    Hey folks,
    Just wanted to bring this up to you guys regarding processing power on Premier Pro CC. The Xeon E5-2697 v2 is a 12 core CPU that comes with 24 threads and I was wondering if anyone out there utilizes all these cores while exporting in 4K?
    Thanks
    Eber

    Here are the top three PPBM8 scoring for exporting the CPU intensive MPEG2-DVD timeline.
    My heavily overclocked (4.5 GHz) i7-5960X with 8-cores scores at about 279 seconds, this is typical of other i7-5960X based systems which we have 6 other submitted scores ranging from 260 to 286
    Eric at ADK supplied the first and third results showing a significant Premiere improvement in this CPU only export when going from 14 cores to 28 cores.  I hope I got the clock speed correctly, Speccy does not always give the correct clock speeds of the processor unless you run it while the benchmark is running.  Maybe he can comment 
    Jim Short has the second lowest time with his 16 total cores
    This export is AVCHD to DVD export.  The H.264 timeline that we have in PPBM8 that includes some 4K media does not show such a large variation versus cores, but this may be due to the fact that that export is GPU assisted.

  • Ipod nano does not synch all contacts

    ipod nano does not synch all contacts.  When it synchs, it only transfers 7 of 2000+ contacts

    My point in the original posting that this is a bug seems to have been answered affirmatively by the notations of the quirkiness of the action. The argument that it must not be a bug because it would have been solved by now is totally disingenuous. Apparently Apple programmers (or their management) are not any superior to Microsoft programmers in that they focus on adding new bells and whistles while allowing longstanding problems in the core code to continue to fester.

  • Firefox clogs my CPU with all cores on my Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.4

    I usually browse the web heavily as I open around 300 tabs sometimes. However, with the recent update of Firefox, I have 3.6.8 running on my latest Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.4; soon after I open my browser it becomes deadly slow after a while. The activity monitor shows Firefox eating up all cycles on all cores. I noticed that this happens after I open a site with flash or an applet in it, but not sure though. It also crashes.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • How to utilize all CPU's ????

    Hi Experts,
    I'm running a 10g database on a Quad Core server. But when I execute procedures in the database it utilizes only one CPU leaving other CPU's idle.
    Is there anyway that I can configure Oracle 10g Database to utilize all CPU's. ???

    One session can only run one SQL statement at a time. So, the SQL would be executed serially, and utilize only one CPU, unless the SQL statement utilizes parallel execution and you have enterprise edition.
    Generally, multiple CPUs are utilized within Oracle in one of two ways:
    1.) You have dozens or hundreds of users, and though each one is executing serially, there are multiple users running concurrently, and each one will run on one of your CPUs.
    2.) You have a data warehouse or DSS type system, with very few users and almost no concurrency. In this case, you'll want to have Enterprise Edition, and you'll want to enable Parallel execution. In this case, a query (or DML) comes along, and Oracle's cost based optimizer will consider the specified degree of parallelism, along with the cpu_count, and some other factors, and determine how many parallel slaves to utilize, and each parallel slave will run on a different CPU.
    Hope that helps,
    -Mark

  • Address book of my mac does not show all my contacts in iphone. What do i do??

    Address book of my mac does not show all my contacts in iphone. What do i do??

    iCloud, which replaced MobileMe, requires OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  You will need to upgrade to OS X Lion higher in order to set up iCloud on your Mac.  First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
    Lion system requirements are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Mountain Lion and Mavericks requirements are the same, as listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
    If you can run Mavericks, you can download a free upgrade from the Mac App Store.  If your system can only run Lion, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.  If you prefer Mountain Lion for software compatibility reasons, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
    After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
    Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing applications by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.   Also be aware that older PPC programs such as AppleWorks and Office 2004 for Mac will not run on OS X Lion or higher.

  • IOS 8.1 Does Not Download All iCloud Mail/ Keeps Cache?

    Hello,
    I have setup and enabled an iCloud e-mail account on all of my devices and was successfully able to use the Mail app in Mac OS X Yosemite to copy mail from my Yahoo! inbox to my iCloud inbox.  All e-mail copied from Yahoo! Mail appears in the OS X Yosemite Mail app as well as in the iCloud.com site, however, my iPad Air 2 and iPhone 5 both running iOS 8.1 does not download all of the mail from iCloud.  I have tried the following on both iOS 8.1 devices with no success.
    - Disable iCloud mail and re-enable
    - Sign completely out of iCloud and sign in again, then reconfigure all iCloud services including mail
    The result of both steps is that the incomplete list of e-mail in the iCloud inbox just reappears in the Mail app instead of downloading from iCloud again.  It looks like the incomplete list of e-mail is stored on the iOS device and signing out of or disabling iCloud mail just hides it; re-enabling or signing in merely shows it again.  This appears to work differently than my Yahoo! Mail configuration where if I sign out of or delete the Yahoo! account and reconfigure, iOS downloads a fresh copy of all e-mail in the inbox and all other folders.  Here are my two questions:
    - How do I get my iPhone and iPad Air 2 to download ALL e-mail from my iCloud mail account?
    - Are my suspicions true? Does iOS actually store a cached copy of iCloud mail on the device when the service is disabled and just "redisplays" it when re-enabled?
    Thanks!

    I had the same problem. My iCloud it's a mess since the iOS 8.1 update.
    Probably your iCloud isn't working too.

  • Form does not display all records from table

    Hi guys
    I modified one form that was based on a signle DB table. I removed certain fields from the table and added some extra fields to that table. Then based on the new table I also modified the form and removed the text items related to old fields in the table and added new text items pointing to the new fields now. II have checked all the new items properties and they have don't seem to be wrong or so. But now the problem is the form does not display all the records from the table. before it used to display all records from the table when qureied but not now. It only certain records from the table containing all new data and also old data but the form does not display other records though I don't see any obvious discrepancy. Remember that the before doing the modifications, I have table back for the old, created another table that contained new records for the new fields, and then I inserted the old records and updated the new table data in the new table with these new table values. So this way I have got my new table. Could someone help why the new modified form fails to display all records from the new table updated table though it display some of them successfully.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    hi
    Set the block property of "Query All Records" to "YES"
    hope it will work.

  • When i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me  ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?

    when i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me  ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?

    Regarding your broken, previously authorized computer, here's how that works:
    You would authorize your new computer -- maybe you've done that already.  Then you will have two computers authorized.  Apple allows you to have up to five computers authorized at any time.  If you get to five, you can then go to your account details in iTunes and remove all authorizations.
    Bear in mind this is not saying you can synch to more tham one library.  Razmee209 and gdgmacguy's comments above are correct.  But if Apple only allowed you to authorize one computer at a time, then having a broken computer would mean you could no longer use your Apple ID with iTunes.

  • Analysis does not show all rows returned by SQL

    Hi.
    OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0
    I have a strange problem.  I have a simple table that should return customer number and sales.  The report will show all of the sales, but it does not show all the customer numbers.  The SQL that OBIEE creates does return all of the customer numbers.  When I remove the sales and just include the customer number, the report only shows a couple of the customer numbers (it should show several hundred).
    I guess what I'm looking for is any advice for how to debug this.  I have spent about 3 days on this problem, so I have tried to look at it from every angle (data, RPD, report).
    Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your reply.
    New development.  The issue has to do with a descriptor ID column.  The customer number column is a varchar field and I set the descriptor ID column to the column_ID field.  When I remove the descriptor ID setting, I received all custom numbers.

  • How do I set up two profiles on my computer but still utilize all programs and files?

    How do I set up two profiles on my computer but still utilize all programs and files?  I want to set up two profiles so my wife and I can utilize two iTunes accounts and different internet settings, but when I set up an administrator profile for her and log in. I don't see all of the stuff that is on the administrator profile (mine) that was created first

    A second user account is separate; with separate preferences and data,  but can share the same apps as long as they're in the top-level Applications folder, not an Applications folder inside another user's home folder.
    Sharing files is a bit different; you can put them in the special Shared user folder, or grant permission to specific files/folders in one account to a different user.
