[Avid-L2] Eight cores, or twelve?

 

We're about to upgrade our Symphony suite from it's current XW8600 to a
Z800...

We're looking at two configuration options basically:
- 2x Quad-core 2.93GHz with FX4800
- 2x Hex-core 2.66GHz with FX3800

The pricing on the two is very similar... So then my question is: Do four
additional lower speed cores and the lesser model video card deliver better
performance than the fewer, faster, core machine which a higher model card?

It's Symphony 5 with Nitris DX running on a fibre-attached Lanshare, if that
matters much.
