I was so close to pulling the trigger on a new system build but then Intel released the new Broadwell processors and now I'm rethinking the whole build.
But before I get to far into this I want to know how many cores does VW use?
My assumption is that in drawing it only uses 1, and leans on the GPU, but in rendering it might take advantage of more.
My budget is not going to allow a $1700 6950x, but the 6800 is only a little more than the 6700 and has 6 cores instead of 4.

Jim can you shed some light on this?
Thanks
